I've always enjoyed that Deepmind staff have a very distinct style from Google Brain. More than just affiliations on publications, there is a unique cultural divide that isn't entirely attributable to London vs. mountain view.

I wonder if this is a sign that inevitable Deepmind will become more and more like Google proper.

Care to articulate, even vaguely, this cultural divide :)? Is it a kind of boldness or recklessness?

Deepmind is more academic, probes deeper and more important problems, and appears to have a more open culture.

This is all from my interactions with these groups at ICML and NeurIPS, I don't engage with either group professionally.
