Thus any limitations discovered in the theory at Level A necessarily apply to levels B and C.

I owe a very special debt to Warren Weaver of the Rockefeller Foundation, who was driven, by friendship and by interest in the topic, to read it very hard. His single-minded insistence on clarity of exposition was always of great value and sometimes a nuisance—especially in instances where his style and skill were better suited than my own to the p

he indicated how very explicit, operationally significant concepts such as the information content of a source or the information capacity of a channel can be identified using entropy and maximization of functions involving entropy.

Ergodic systems, in other words, exhibit a particularly safe and comforting sort of statistical regularity.

The notion that a channel has a specific information capacity, which can be measured in bits per second, has had a profound influence.

clever people sought to measure, in data bits, the amount of information produced in

Since the generative AIs have been trained on the entirety of human work — most of it mediocre — it produces “wisdom of the crowd”-like results. They may hit the mark but only because they are average.
