Journalist berberjin1 called out that journalists should not report ARR numbers — "it's a fake science", since companies use inconsistent methodologies that make the figures incomparable.
Cambridge AI professor David Krueger quote-tweeted it with "Interesting," lending weight to the critique. As AI startups race to pitch growth via ARR headlines, the post highlights a systemic problem in how the industry's revenue numbers get reported.
