I Googled things like ‘Aubrey de Grey on Demis Hassabis’ for 5 minutes and couldn’t find anything matching this description. The closest I could find was this interview with de Grey where he says:
I actually know a lot of people who are at the cutting edge of AI research. I actually know Demis Hassabis, the guy who runs DeepMind, from when he was an undergraduate at Cambridge several years after me. We’ve kept in touch and try to connect every so often.
He says they know each other and keep in touch but its not really a character reference.
(I’m not claiming that de Grey hasn’t praised Hassabis’ character. Just that if he did, a brief search doesn’t yield a publicly available record of this)
Is this publicly available anywhere? I’d love to read it.
