That's what we do when we work in Silicon Valley tech startups: We think about who's going to benefit from this. That's almost the only thing we think about.

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.

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.

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.

Love is the strongest strength of the soul.

I am the scourge of God

I am not being overly harsh. Overtly hostile, yes, but exactly the right amount of harsh.

Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.

The purpose of torture is not getting information. It's spreading fear.

And as I reinvent myself and I'm constantly curious about everything, I can't wait to see what's around the corner in newfound art and entertainment and exploration.

i am going to start selling air in dark orange bags marked: moon-blooms

The projectors in the theater practically shut down with boredom.

In the future, the cyber threat will equal or even eclipse the terrorist threat.
