A technical article I’d like to read is “the limits to the power of randomness” spanning randomized methods in AI, fundamental algorithms, statistics, and control theory. We’re overdue for a correction in belief in this power.

Great title. Also, wouldn’t pure randomness be uniformity (i.e. certainty)? 🧐

The short path to this is reading about dataset deanonymization (with a refreshing pivot from there to differential privacy).
The longer path is cryptographic math.
If it mentions quasi-primes, though, finish your drink and run.
