Two big stories for Google this week. One is "we can't do this AI thing and we wish we could" and the other is "we accidentally deleted a bunch of data and we're pretending we didn't". Seems the two have attributes in common - their execution has failed and marketing is trying to paper over the void. One hurts the credibility they built with Alpha Go etc and the other hurts the confidence that they know how to run reliable servers. Seems end stage to me, company trending in the direction of IBM.
