I think that Deepmind is impacted by race dynamics and Google’s code red etc. I heard from a Deepmind employee that the leadership including Demis is now much more focused on products and profits, at least in their rhetoric.
But I agree it looks like they tried and likely still trying to push back against incentives.
And I am pretty confident that they reduced publishing on purpose and it’s visible.
