This should not have happened. Google Cloud has identified the events that led to this disruption and taken measures to ensure this does not happen again.”

Our AI golem destroyed something important again, but we’re too big to fail so our mistakes don’t matter.

We promise it won’t happen again, but when it does happen again, it still won’t matter.

We’re a totally safe and responsible company and should be trusted with most of the world’s data management.

We promise it won’t happen again, but when it does happen again, it still won’t matter.

Rest assured that when it does, we will make every effort to promise once more that it won't happen again.

No no no, they're right, it won't happen again.

...but something with a very similar outcome due to a very similar, but not identical, root cause...well, no guarantees I guess.
