I agree and just to clarify: I don't think/know whether this startup will be successful or not, in fact I don't even know if buying DeepMind was a good investment for Google (financially speaking). I only mentioned it because

That might work for a subset of projects, but try that with anything that does for instance numerical analysis stuff, like machine learning. There is a reason why Conda is a requirement for so many Python projects.

Yeah found it after posting the article, although I wouldn't say it contradicts the story (except for the title), this is my interpretation: random DEA agent sees something [1] that looks probably illegal during a visit and notifies Mo

I really don't know anything about this topic but according to the DEA it is "technically" illegal: https://scholar.lib.vt.edu/VA-news/ROA-Times/issues/1991/rt9...
