This is the right response for Google's AI news, but not Deepmind.

Building products isn't Deepmind's purpose. They have essentially "demo'd" it by releasing the paper and simulation videos. They don't build any products. This research is absolutely irrelevant for most people right now, but hopefully will be used by other researchers to make progress.

It's like saying "Stanford should build products and do demos instead of just releasing papers".
