Everything Brad Schneider said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Schneider: Paying Users for Data Is Infeasible Without Detailed Profiles
“I hate to say never, and I hate to make long-term predictions because I've been wrong in many cases, but from where I'm sitting, it just doesn't really seem feasible unless you're providing very rich information about yourself.”
Schneider: We may never deeply understand the inner workings of ML models
“I don't know that we can come to much better of an understanding about what's going on in the middle or what that means, because there's so many little things happening.”
Schneider: AI trust will rely on observed history, like human relationships
“You just don't understand it, and you need to build up that shared history together to understand, is this something to be trusted? Is this something to be feared? And just like a I mean, a machine learning model, you're gonna see different things that you did…”
Schneider: Centralized traffic coordination is vastly superior to independent human drivers
“You have so many people making independent decisions, which is massively inferior to one thing guiding all traffic, right?”
Schneider: Physical architectural limits reliably prevent rogue AI behavior
“Make an AI as smart as you want, does that mean that it can figure out, again, how to defy gravity, how to travel through time? Some of these things are just physical challenges. You can't do something that isn't physically possible. So if you design a system …”
Schneider: Big tech companies do not sell proprietary user data
“The big guys are keeping it to themselves. That is their competitive advantage.”
Schneider: Column headers and data formats cannot reveal dataset use cases
“A lot of people try to characterize data by what columns it has, what format those columns are in, what's in the actual cell in a given database table. But that doesn't really tell you what the data can do. That, that more tells you what the data is.”
Schneider: Most commercially sold data is aggregated, not personally identifiable
“You know, I think people can rest assured that most, I mean, I've been in this space for probably 10 years at this point, and the kind of information being sold is mostly not at a, Personal level. It's been highly aggregated.”
Schneider: Paid User Panels Suffer Inherent Selection Bias
“The problem is whenever you recruit people for anything, you introduce a bias, right? If you are paying people to do something, you're enticing people that that amount of money is worthwhile. Those people don't mind giving up information about themselves. And …”
Schneider: Governments cannot easily manipulate global AIS maritime tracking data
“Then you have forms of information such as AIS data. So every ship around the globe has, you know, think of it as a collision warning system, a ship to ship communication system. And these are reporting the locations of the ship, the name of the ship, and this…”
Schneider: Governments cannot feasibly falsify physical activity under satellite imagery
“Very hard for the Chinese government or for any government to manipulate those images Over a long period of time, right? You have to know exactly when the satellites are going to fly overhead. People are changing which constellations of satellites they use. Th…”
Schneider: App developers monetized cross-app visibility by selling installation data
“Many app companies start to sell that as a data source where they'll report the number of installations for a given app across millions and millions of phones.”
Schneider: COVID mortality uncertainty proves data bias matters more than volume
“It's like we still don't definitively know what the mortality rate from COVID is. There's tons and tons of data, but it all has very different biases, so it's not a, it's not something that's easily solvable with more data. It's more about having the right dat…”
Schneider: Genomic data alone cannot predict disease without missing lifestyle data
“You know, services like 23 and Me are tracking complete breakdown of Every single base pair in a human body. But the problem is we don't have every single one of their medical histories. We don't know everything they ate every single day of their lives. We don…”
Schneider: Personalized medicine via AI will bear fruit in 10-20 years
“I think we'll start seeing fruit born probably in the next kind of 10 to 20 years.”
Schneider: 50 to 100 data vendors sell Twitter sentiment data
“There are literally, you know, 50 to a hundred that I know of data providers that just sell sentiment based on, on Twitter data.”
Schneider: Thousands of Companies Currently Sell Commercial Data
“So just to take a step back, there are literally thousands of companies today that sell data.”
Schneider: US shipping container import filings are digitized and publicly purchasable
“So any container that comes into the United States, there's form filing requirements that have to be done. All those forms are digitized under the, I believe it's the Freedom for Information Act, and they're publicly available. Granted, you have to buy them fr…”
