I don't like to use relative numbers to illustrate the increase. 48% can be miniscule or enormous based on the emission last year.
While I don't think the increase is miniscule it's still an option inessesary ambiguity.

The relative number here might be more useful as long as it's understood that Google already has significant emissions. It's also sufficient to convey that they're headed in the wrong direction relative to their goal of net zero. A number like 14.3 million tCO₂e isn't as clear IMO.
Can understand that, but I feel it's dumbed down. Better to state the increase and then say it's relative to [some relatable fact] perhaps?

And all for some drunken answers and a few new memes
In my country this kind of AI is being used to more efficiently find tax fraud and to create chatbots for users to understand taxes, that due to the much more reliable and limited training set does not allucinate and can provide clear sources for the information given.
Which magical country is this? Can I come?
;-)
I'm actually curious (kind of desperate for some good news nowadays). Not trying to make fun of you

Since when does wearing a brown hoodie convey that one is a genius?
It's supposed to represent Ben Kenobi from the original star wars I think. Or more generally, a wizard-y sage robe.
Edit: it's also just a meme, with its own understood meaning.
