   can anyone with corporate background decipher if that is good for demis or not?

      It is good for Demis and Google overall.

      This is a promotion for Demis and this could be a path for Demis to be CEO of Alphabet in the future in the AI era.

      Google already invested in Discovery Loop (Jeff Dean, Orol Vinyals, Quoc Le and Sanjay Ghemawat's company), so what is happening is still a win in investment terms.

      The question is about Sundar's future at Google, he is a mobile era CEO at Alphabet and I would hazard a guess he will probably step down in less than 3 years.

         I agree sundar will step down but I’m not sure if this means they’re grooming Demis to takeover. I suspect not, and someone else might take over.
