Google's AI empire is cracking open
Demis Hassabis out as DeepMind CEO → now Alphabet's Chief Scientist for AGI. Still Chairman at DeepMind but this is a reshuffle, not a promotion.
Meanwhile Jeff Dean, Oriol Vinyals, Quoc Le, and Sanjay Ghemawat just rage quit to start Discovery Loop.
That's not a brain drain. That's the entire frontal lobe walking out the door.
Bullish for whatever Discovery Loop is cooking. Bearish for $GOOGL's AI narrative if the talent is jumping ship.
Watch for their token or equity raise. This crew doesn't leave to build boring SaaS.
