I would argue that one of the major problems with our blind trust in algorithms is that we can propagate discriminatory patterns without acknowledging any kind of intent.

We can't just throw something out there and assume it works just because it has math in it.

There's less of a connection for a lot of people between the technical decisions we make and the ethical ramifications we are responsible for.

People are starting to be very skeptical of the Facebook algorithm and all kinds of data surveillance.

I think what's happened is that the general public has become much more aware of the destructive power of Wall Street.

When people are not given an option by some secret scoring system, it's very hard to complain, so they often don't even know that they've been victimized.

Every system using data separates humanity into winners and losers.

The most important goal I had in mind was to convince people to stop blindly trusting algorithms and assuming that they are inherently fair and objective.

I know how models are built, because I build them myself, so I know that I'm embedding my values into every single algorithm I create and I am projecting my agenda onto those algorithms.

For whatever reason, I have never separated the technical from the ethical.

The public trusts big data way too much.

Your angels and spiritual guides are high vibration beings who already know your answers.

A boy has a natural genius for combining business with pleasure.

No I don't get scared when returning kicks or worry about getting hurt. I have been doing this since childhood so I am used to it.

The general interest of the masses might take the place of the insight of genius if it were allowed freedom of action.

I'm not a deaf musician. I'm a musician who happens to be deaf.

In the advanced practice, the relationship between the Zen master and the student becomes very terse. The Zen master will expect things of the student because the student is in graduate school.

If money is free speech, the big interests are sitting in front with megaphones and the average citizens are sitting in the back.

Disparage no book, for it is also a part of the world.

Each nanosecond of history branches off into an infinite amount of parallel universes.

I have always been a sucker for the big, upbeat chorus.
