r/analytics • IOh We just found out our AI has been making up analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna throw up. Support So we've been using an Al agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it. I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time. Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing plausible sounding percentages. I only caught it by accident when someone asked me to double check something. I started digging, and holy shit, it's bad.

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

Flintheart Glomgold was originally ALWAYS South African! The whole reason he wasnt in the 87 version of Duck Tales was specifically to downplay Apartheid going on at the time and the way he made his money was literally exploiting and helming African Diamond mines.

Visa and Mastercard have the opportunity to do something really funny.

i'm so excited to tell you about what we're working on. it's the most important thing human beings have ever done or could ever do. it's going to transform our lives in a plausibly deniable period of years. i just need another 100 billion dollars and immunity from prosecution

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play

Four frames comic about two types of Isekai I found and read lately. The first frame shows a young man with a sword. He says: "My name is Josh Itcantbehelped and I used to be a loser before a car crash brought me to a world where I am a god and half the population is made of SLAVE CATGIRLS". The second frame shows him crying and clenching his fist, with many a cat behind him, wearing bikinis. He says "To make it here I guess I have no choice but to own as many catgirls as I can...how tragic...". The third frame shows another character from another type of Isekai. She's a woman with a fluffy dress. She says "My name is Elise Robespierre and after being hit by a truck of terminal cancer I am now in my favorite 900 pages novel. With many a hot man.". The fourth frame shows her giving a board presentation to citizens, with graphs and pictures of plants on it. She says: "Hello citizens. This is my plan to modernize the agricultural system and prevent any further plague by creating medicine [...] taxes which ..." the text becomes unreadable as she keeps talking to her captive audience.

Been trying to read some isekai lately.

Important Publix website to visit for next time arepublixchickentendersubsonsale.com

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it:

Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

Woo, I’m in this one! Glad you enjoyed Joy Yee, I always take folks there when they visit.

interestingly, "your fans making you feel like you're cool when you're not" is also the big problem with audience capture on social media

THERE IS NO DISCORSE ITS PEOPLE WHO ARE SAD IN THEIR ROOM OR BORED AT THEIR JOB AND DA TEXT BOX BECKONS TO BE FILLED , THE SIRENS CALL OF "REPLY BUTTON " BENEATH EACH POST TOO TEMPTING TOO RESIST, A STIMULUS WHICH REQUIRES A REACTION, DA TEXT "DISCOURSE ISENT REAL , ANY ONE CAN TYPE, NO ONE HAS TO REPLY " - DASHARE.ZONE ADMIN

I’ve long since forgotten where my sweat ends and the atmosphere begins

I used to buy fresh raspberries and then put off eating them because "just eating them wasn't special enough" (what???) but then they would go moldy and I couldn't enjoy them at all!! So now I eat the raspberries! Light the fancy expensive candle! Stick the stickers you're hoarding! USE THE STUFF

Giant bomb!!!!

Lmao Tommy Tallarico’s blocklist is a who’s who of who to follow on here:

Never forget that the biggest advocates for AI are people who are terrified of progress.

AI can’t produce anything new. So demanding that people use it is a way to keep us stuck in the past.

I feel like this is true for DC too

Yes. Former Treasury and OMB officials explained to me in detail what sort of power Elon Musk has now been granted. They described it as akin to having his hands on a series of spigots that he can now turn on and off:

Welcome to the Fox News government, folks.

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

Quote tweet by Richard Hanania from 1/11/2025. The quoted tweet, which has a community note, is by Christopher F. Rufo on 1/10/2025. Christopher's tweet reads: "I'm sorry, but we have to stop with the ridiculous sign language interpreters, who turn serious press conferences into a farce. There are closed captions on all broadcast channels and streaming services. No wild human gesticulators necessary." The community note (which has supporting .gov links) reads: "Fact: Not all broadcast channels have closed captions, which isn't universally effective anyway; many Deaf rely on ASL for comprehension as ASL offers nuances captions miss. This is part of ADA requirements, passed by GOP." Richard's tweet reads: "The community note shows that the process has been captured by the disability lobby. It’s not about access, CC works fine. They have to pretend like it doesn’t to force this absurdity onto us. And the ADA amendments of 2008 have led to a nightmare, as I explain in my book."

🔊 PSA for nondisabled people 🔊

It's time to step the FUCK up if you wanna be an ally.

ASL interpretation is being targeted by right wing cry baby douchebags.

Shut this shit down when you see it. SPEAK UP. This barrage of ASL hate is heavier than usual.

All are great. Horse Lords and Chat Pile definitely sound like great Commander deck names too?

The cover of Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann. There is an image of a wild boar leaping.
