@JoeSetyon hi, baseball analyst here. having a strong data science/statistics/math background is really important for working in baseball R&D, but it's easier to teach someone baseball than data science, so teams hire for the former and teach the latter. there's really nothing wrong here

the phrase of "AI is threatening its ability to meet key environmental goals" is offloading the agency of Google onto the nebulous concept of "AI". It's not that AI is threatening the goals, Google is deliberately prioritizing AI development over our planet's long term health

New from me: Google's emissions shot up *almost 50%* since 2019 due to its massive focus on AI. This makes it the second huge tech company (see Microsoft in May) that has said AI is threatening its ability to meet key environmental goals. Who'll be next?
