This is really bad news for Microsoft culture. See https://archive.is/ZuvYu. Also from Wikipedia: In August 2019, Suleyman was placed on administrative leave following allegations of bullying employees.[17][18] The company hired an external lawyer to investigate, and shortly thereafter Suleyman left to take a VP role at parent company Google. An email circulated by DeepMind's leadership to staff after the story broke, as well as additional details published by Business Insider, said Suleyman's "management style fell short" of expected standards.[19][20].

Is this an acquisition?

I don't think so? Inflection announced new ceo and changes today as well. The article seems to mention several employees jumped ship with Mustafa.

I think in a podcast or so just months ago, he talked about how he planned for Infections to stay in the race for next few years, and seemed to be excited about it

Wonder what drives this sudden change
