Google loves to kick senior execs upstairs.
Whatever happened to Prabhakar Raghavan? Got kicked upstairs and we barely hear from him nowadays.
It's only a matter of time before Demis leaves and joins Anthropic or OpenAI.

  The Japanese corporate culture has a name for this: Madogiwa-Zoku (窓際族) or “The tribe by the window”.
