As someone who just caught Claude Code fabricating data within minutes of it completing a task, I have no empathy for an analytics team that used hallucinated business metrics for 3 months before figuring it out.
Gen AI tools are for a decent first draft, they shouldn't be trusted blindly.

One thing the right-wing media will not report about ICE is the fact they have arrested almost a million people in various processes of migrating to the U.S. and place those people into prison.

I'm sick of the whole "The Germans Didn't Know"
They KNEW the Nazis were rounding up Jews, and Romani.
They just looked the other way as they disappeared into camps.
They didn't WANT to know what was happening in the camps, but they knew what was happening.
