I get that part. Is there some reason I'm missing as to why Google wouldn't utilize the talent at DeepMind to pursue AGI-relevant projects?

I mean, Google has great resources (much more than MIRI or anyone else) and a proven record of success at being instrumentally rational in the techincal/programming arena (i.e. winning on a grand scale for a length of time). They are adding folks who, from what I read on LW, actually understand AGI's complexity, implications, etc.
