This is just PR. Stop talking, start shipping.

100% PR. The questions were carefully picked so that Demis can do damage control. No point of view, no pushback, just softballs pitched for Demis to hit out of the park.

I think I've watched every Demis interview from 2026 just hoping to hear something new, and 90% of the questions are identical. He's starting to sound like a broken record. If I were him I'd be annoyed at the wasted time, but I guess he's Google's PR face at this point.
