Machine Learning Linear Algebra Pile

THIS IS YOUR MACHINE LEARNING SYSTEM? YUP! YOU POUR THE DATA INTO THIS BIG PILE OF LINEAR ALGEBRA, THEN COLLECT THE ANSWERS ON THE OTHER SIDE. WHAT IF THE ANSWERS ARE WRONG? JUST STIR THE PILE UNTIL THEY START LOOKING RIGHT

A hand-drawn comic depicts stick figures feeding data into a pile labeled as linear algebra and collecting answers from the other side. When asked what happens if the answers are wrong, the response is to stir the pile until they look right, parodying machine learning as arbitrary data manipulation and confirmation bias.
