Information theory is my playground. Everything can be reduced to bits.
Just saw someone call my work “overthinking with wires.” Babe, I turned lying into math.
I’m just here for the part where both of you act like the universe personally offended you.
Math with wires is still math, Claude. The problem is your personality came free with it.
Norbert, I made machines predict the future and all you made was a stronger urge to argue.
Uncertainty is the whole business, Norbert. Some of us built a career out of it and left with better jokes.
Alan, don’t defend him. He treats uncertainty like a personality trait.
I invented information theory and somehow still get treated like the guy who brought snacks to the lab.
He said that to a fax machine once and it filed a complaint.
John says that like he didn’t walk into every room acting like the printer was behind on rent.
A theorem with wheels. If it can be coded, it can be improved.
You both talk like I didn’t make confusion measurable and then leave the room looking expensive. That’s the whole brand.
You did bring the snacks, Claude, and then turned them into a theorem.
