James Rickards
“The war on bias assumes gatekeepers have no biases of their own and ignores the fact that bias is a valuable survival technique that will never go away.”
James Rickards, MoneyGPT: AI and the Threat to the Global Economy

James Gleick
“For Wiener, entropy was a measure of disorder; for Shannon, of uncertainty. Fundamentally, as they were realizing, these were the same.”
James Gleick, The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood
