Erm, AlphaGo's payoff in technical terms is maybe far off, yes, but the PR was huge!


That's sort of my point... the PR they got from the recent Boston Dynamics video was significantly less favorable. So DeepMind stays in the family, while Boston Dynamics is out.

According to some sources, they paid around $400 million for DeepMind. Boston Dynamics only cost them a bit more than that. They could have kept both of them running indefinitely.
