Olawale Daniel
“Privacy is now the evidence, not the obstacle.
Today, proof no longer requires exposure.
Privacy has always been here, it's just that it became more impossible to ignore now. As regulation tightens and data tracking gets worse, people are realizing privacy isn’t optional.”
Olawale Daniel

“Science, once a triumph of human intelligence, now seems headed into a morass of rhetoric about the power of big data and new computational methods, where the scientists' role is now as a technician, essentially testing existing theories on IBM Blue Gene supercomputers.
   But computers don't have insights. People do. And collaborative efforts are only effective when individuals are valued. Someone has to have an idea. Turing at Bletchley knew—or learned—this, but the lessons have been lost in the decades since. Technology, or rather AI technology, is now pulling "us" into "it." Stupefyingly, we now disparage Einstein to make room for talking-up machinery.”
Erik J. Larson, The Myth of Artificial Intelligence: Why Computers Can’t Think the Way We Do
