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

Honestly if it were me hiring, I would put that in the reply email bc the number of ppl who just flat out do not READ the job description is staggering. Reminding ppl specifically what the hours are would save me a lot of pain in the interview process.

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Good Morning, World.

To AI shills & capitalist institutions, writers are simultaneously not important enough to compensate while alive and so important once dead that their machine-ghosts must be resurrected to continue the work of profit-making. Vile.

2) as we are discussing our history she says she knows my hometown. I say bullshit. She says “no one of my good friends at boarding school is from there”. She pulls him up in Facebook and hand to god it was my best friend from 3rd grade.

1) I grew up in a small town (<7k) in the panhandle of Texas. True bumfuck nowhere. I then went to college at a small (<2k) private school in Colorado. My roommate is originally from Denver but went a small boarding school in the mountains for high school…

Chris Van Hollen flying down to El Salvador and refusing to leave until he got in a room with Kilmar Abrego Garcia blows up every other “well what do you expect them to do?” defense for elected Democrats

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants

the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever

they aren’t going into universities’ endowments

they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

amazing how grasping this seems in response to someone doing something, how much he needs to be able to rewrite what you saw. the lesson is to do more things

Sailor Moon smokes a cig and angrily complaints to Sailor Mercury "I'm burnt out, man. I'm fighting evil by moonlight... I'm winning love by daylight. I'm on no sleep! Something's gotta give!"

This ‘College Protester’ Isn’t Real. It’s an AI-Powered Undercover Bot for Cops Massive Blue is helping cops deploy AI-powered social media bots to talk to people they suspect are anything from violent sex criminals all the way to vaguely defined “protesters.”

cops are paying for AI-generated online personas designed to collect intelligence on “college protesters,” “radicalized” political activists, and suspected drug and human traffickers: truly insane story by @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social and @jasonkoebler.bsky.social

I pray for your swift ascension to the throne.

I think calling literally everything AI and muddying the waters between llm slop and stuff that's real and useful is the new frontier of destroying scientific literacy

Hey cuties, don’t forget your meds, have some water and unclench your jaw

Screenshot: And Rupert Murdoch’s media properties? The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal made no mention whatsoever of the protests on either their April 6 or April 7 front pages. Surprise, surprise. This isn’t just bad journalism. It’s a deliberate editorial choice that speaks volumes about how establishment media downplays collective action challenging power. When hundreds of thousands of people coordinate across an entire nation to protest governmental policies, that’s not a page 18 story. That’s not a “see more in section B” situation. That’s front-page news. Period.

To sum up: An estimated 5 million people protested in 50 states but the stories were deliberately relegated to the back of most major newspapers.

In 100 years we are going to get a definite explanation for how the dawn of The Information Age resulted in the dumbest people imaginable running the country

Keeping porn as a form of protected speech is crucial, bc if the gov can ban porn for being too "degenerate", they can (& will) ban anything else that they deem to be degenerate as well

Nintendo can get around the tariffs by using a floating barge with claw machines just outside US waters

You can take a boat and pay $450 for unlimited attempts to win a Switch 2 from a claw machine

If you win, it counts as “personal treasure,” exempt from tariffs under maritime salvage laws

Microsoft Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

it feels like there is a very determined effort by games media/industry people in particular, and most of the audience in general, to simply not talk about Microsoft getting added as a priority target to BDS. not hard at all to guess why but it's still shameful
