   It seems like the real news is Jeff and Sanjay are leaving Google, and Demis is effectively replacing Jeff as Chief Scientist for all of Alphabet.

   The bigger deal is the departure of Jeff and Sanjay, rather than Demis moving into a different role.

      Yeah, a bit surprised that the top comments aren't discussing losing Dean, he's been a figurehead for the company for decades. It's like Apple losing Ive in a way.

      EDIT: "figurehead" - that's all I meant. A notable, public figure from the company who is credited with having a significant impact on its evolution. I'm not making a judgement call on his departure, or Ive's, being good or bad.

      That said... just give it a couple years, they'll be back in a lucrative aquihire.

         Like Ive? So you mean it’s good for Google?
