Read any business magazine and you will find an article saying something along the lines of \"Business Analytics is the hottest job category out there, and there is a significant lack of people, process and best practice.\" In this case the conference was eMetrics, the bar was….multiple, and the attendees were Michael Helbling, Tim Wilson and Jim Cain (Co-Host Emeritus). After a few pints and a few hours of discussion about the cutting edge of digital analytics, they realized they might have something to contribute back to the community. This podcast is one of those contributions. Each episode is a closed topic and an open forum - the goal is for listeners to enjoy listening to Michael, Tim, and Moe share their thoughts and experiences and hopefully take away something to try at work the next day. We hope you enjoy listening to the Digital Analytics Power Hour.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-07T14:22:38.009366+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-analytics-power-hour-461338"},"episode":{"title":"#297: Durable Wisdom in an Age of AI Slop","slug":"297-durable-wisdom-in-an-age-of-ai-slop","published_at":"2026-05-12T04:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-analytics-power-hour-461338/297-durable-wisdom-in-an-age-of-ai-slop","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-analytics-power-hour-461338","url":"https://analyticshour.io/2026/05/12/297-durable-wisdom-in-an-age-of-ai-slop/","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/analyticshour/APH_-_Episode_297_-_Durable_Wisdom_in_an_Age_of_AI_Slop.mp3?dest-id=239292","summary":"What do colors, soup kitchens, and mountain climbing have in common? They're all part of the mental models that have shaped how we think about analytics, and they're exactly the kind of durable wisdom that matters more than ever in an age of AI slop. This campfire-style conversation among the co-hosts reveals the concepts, books, and aha moments that have stuck with us across decades of analytics work. From the magic of randomization to the critical distinction between outputs and outcomes, we share the frameworks that guide our thinking whether we're writing SQL by hand or asking Claude to do it for us. It turns out the most valuable analytics wisdom isn't about tools or techniques—it's about understanding how humans actually make decisions, build trust, and collaborate effectively. Some things never go out of style.
