Our Founding Inspiration: Claude Shannon's Vision for AI

In 1984, information-theory pioneer Claude Shannon predicted that an AI stock-picking program would be the “most important” milestone of artificial general intelligence (AGI). That vision is why we build AI agents that work — and invest — for people.

“In 1984, Claude Shannon set four goals for artificial intelligence to achieve by 2001: a chess-playing program that was crowned world champion, a poetry program that had a piece accepted by the New Yorker, a mathematical program that proved the elusive Riemann hypothesis, and, ‘most important,’ a stock-picking program that outperformed the prime rate by 50 percent. ‘These goals,’ he said only half-jokingly, ‘could mark the beginning of a phase-out of the stupid, entropy-increasing, and militant human race in favor of a more logical, energy conserving, and friendly species — the computer.’”

From A Mind at Play, the 2017 biography of AI pioneer Claude Shannon. He wrote that in 1984; he died in 2001.

Shannon wasn't only a theorist — he quietly compounded his own portfolio at roughly 28% a year for about three decades, outperforming most professional investors of his era.1

Shannon's Law — our thesis

Shannon's AGI goal — a stock-picker that beats the prime rate by 50%+ — is essentially a new Moore's Law. At 50%+ a year, capital managed by AI agents roughly doubles every 18 months.

Where it all began

We started on October 25, 2019 as a final-year PhD research project in the dormitory of University of California.

What began as late-night research sessions and countless iterations evolved into a breakthrough approach to AI-powered trading. It took six years of dedicated research to reach excellence.

Legal incorporation in Delaware on June 6, 2023 marked a memorable landmark on our journey.

We are grateful that many people we love believed in us before it became obvious.

Our Mission

To alleviate the wealth gap between the rich and the poor, and to create more hope in the world for people with the right character who are willing to learn and improve their lives — by harnessing the power of AI technology.

Our Vision

Inspired by Claude Shannon's vision, we are building AI agents that work for humans and make money for humans. Our ultimate goal is a world where AI technology bridges the divide between privilege and opportunity — creating more hope, more prosperity, and a fairer future for those who have the courage to learn, grow, and transform their lives.

Our Investment Strategy

Our proprietary “Transformer” investment engine continuously analyzes vast datasets across global markets — the U.S., Hong Kong, and Shanghai — to generate predictive insights and optimize portfolio allocations.

Quantitative Analysis

Patterns humans miss.

Statistical models and machine learning — including large language models — identify patterns and predict market movements, while continuously sharpening both our decisions and our methods.

Risk Management

Long-only. Never leveraged.

We never borrow money and never use leverage. Our process is strictly long-only and fully funded, so portfolio risk stays controlled and aligned with each client's tolerance — with advanced risk modeling for resiliency in all conditions.

AI-Powered Vibe Trading

Less human oversight over time.

Our AI agents trade by reading the vibe of the market — adapting to changing conditions and learning from new data every day. As the models keep proving themselves, human supervision steps back over time, moving steadily toward fully autonomous decision-making.

Prediction-Market Insights

Decide with better information.

Beyond equities, NoArk's AI agents read the odds and signals of prediction markets and turn them into clear, AI-generated insights — helping you make more informed decisions. You stay in control of every trade.

What is vibe trading?

Vibe trading is letting AI agents read the overall “vibe” of the market — sentiment, news flow, and live signals across stocks and prediction markets — and act on it, instead of relying on a human watching every chart. NoArk's agents continuously learn from new data, so the strategy adapts in real time while humans step back over time. It's the trading counterpart of vibe coding: just as software engineers increasingly accept code written by AI agents over time, investors increasingly trust trades shaped by AI — with human oversight stepping back as the models keep proving themselves.

Our approach is focused on investment in public companies across global markets — including the U.S., Hong Kong, and Shanghai — maintaining a long-only position without the use of leverage. As a low-frequency trading firm, we emphasize disciplined, research-driven strategies that prioritize sustainable growth and prudent risk management.

“I think that the technicians who work so much with price charts, with ‘head and shoulders formulations’ and ‘plunging necklines’ are working with what I would call a very noisy reproduction of the important data.”

— Claude Shannon

We share that view — which is why we focus on fundamentals and disciplined, low-frequency strategies rather than chasing chart patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is vibe trading?

Vibe trading is letting AI agents read the overall “vibe” of the market — sentiment, news flow, and live signals across stocks and prediction markets — and act on it, instead of relying on a human watching every chart. NoArk's agents learn continuously from new data, so the strategy adapts in real time while human supervision steps back over time.

Can AI agents help with prediction markets?

Yes. NoArk's AI agents read the odds and signals of prediction markets and turn them into clear, AI-generated insights so you can make more informed decisions. NoArk does not place prediction-market trades for you — you stay in control of every decision.

What did Claude Shannon predict about AI and stock-picking?

In 1984, Claude Shannon — the father of information theory — listed an AI stock-picking program that beats the market as the “most important” goal of artificial general intelligence (AGI), alongside chess, poetry, and proving the Riemann hypothesis. That prediction is the founding inspiration behind TradingTransformer and NoArk.

What is NoArk — Infinity Memory, and is it free?

NoArk — Infinity Memory is an affordable general-purpose AI agent app built for vibe trading and prediction-market insights. You chat with Charlie across 40+ preset workflows spanning markets, productivity, travel, and life admin, using text, voice, photos, or files. It's free to download on iPhone, iPad, Mac (Apple Silicon), and Apple Vision. The app comes in four tiers — Free, Silver, Gold, and Diamond. Paid plans start at $9.99/month — 50% off the regular price — as an early-bird offer.

How is NoArk different from Apple Intelligence, Google's Gemini, and Manus?

NoArk isn't trying to be another all-purpose chatbot. We're building the most trusted and most objective AI agent for the kind of high-end client who would traditionally hire a full-time executive assistant. Apple Intelligence, Google's Gemini, and Manus are impressive general-purpose tools — but they ultimately serve platforms, ecosystems, and advertising- or data-driven business models. NoArk serves only you. We don't monetize your attention or your data, so Charlie can give you straight, unconflicted judgment on your markets, decisions, and day-to-day life admin — the discretion and reliability you'd expect from a world-class executive assistant, in an app.

How does NoArk handle my data?

Your data stays yours. We don't collect your data ourselves. Everything you create in NoArk is stored locally on your device and in your own iCloud — not on our servers. When Charlie needs to reason over something, NoArk talks to large language models in the cloud through their APIs, and under those providers' API terms of service your content is not stored or used to train their models. In short: your memory lives with you, we never warehouse it, and the AI models we call don't keep it either. And it cuts both ways: by not hoarding your data, we also sidestep the ever-rising cost of storing it — one stone, two birds, good for you and good for us.

Why is it called NoArk?

NoArk has a double meaning. First, it echoes Noah's Ark — a vessel built to carry what matters safely through a flood of change. Second, read it as “no ark”: in a fast-changing agentic era, no one is coming to save you with a ready-made ark. You have to become your own ark — and NoArk's AI agents help you do exactly that, carrying your knowledge, decisions, and memory forward.

Why “Infinity Memory”?

The name came from an infinity pool. On a trip to Singapore, sitting by the infinity pool at our hotel — where the water seems to stretch on with no edge — we realized that if an AI could remember without limits, it would feel just like that: infinite memory. So we built NoArk to give Charlie a very long memory, carrying your context, conversations, and knowledge forward without ever hitting an edge.

What does “Fiat Lux” mean?

Fiat Lux is Latin for “let there be light” — and it's also the motto of the University of California, where NoArk began. In the app, Fiat Lux is a dedicated tab. It captures what we're here to do: bring light to people, and bring out the light — the very best — in everyone.

Is NoArk educational? Who can I learn from?

Yes. Beyond markets, NoArk is built to educate — especially young people — by letting you learn directly from history's greatest minds. You can chat with AI versions of your personal heroes and luminaries across science, art, philosophy, leadership, and business, each ready to explore the big questions they spent their lives on. Here's everyone we support so far:

How much did a meal with Warren Buffett cost — and what does NoArk cost?

In 2022, the final charity lunch with Warren Buffett sold for a record $19,000,100. Today you can chat with an AI Charlie — modeled on Buffett's lifelong partner, Charlie Munger — for free in the NoArk app. That's the whole point: we want to democratize access to the world's greatest minds and help close the wealth gap, not gate wisdom behind a $19 million price tag.

Why do you pledge to donate 50% of the app's profits to education?

Because it changed our own lives. Our founders' education was made possible by scholarships — funding study abroad at the University of Cambridge, the University of Wisconsin–Madison, universities in Hong Kong, and the University of California. We saw firsthand that money has an outsized impact on young, hungry people — it opens doors, unlocks mobility, and creates long-term positive change for humanity. So we've committed to donate 50% of the profits from the NoArk app business to education causes, paying forward what we were given.

What is Shannon's entropy?

In 1948, Claude Shannon defined entropy as the measure of uncertainty — or surprise — carried by a stream of information: the less predictable a message, the more information it carries, measured in bits. It became the mathematical foundation of the digital age, underpinning everything from data compression to error-free communication. For investors the idea is intuitive: a price that is already fully predictable carries no information and no edge — the real signal lives in what the market hasn't yet priced in. NoArk's agents are built to find and act on that residual uncertainty, not the noise everyone can already see.

What's the connection between Maxwell's Demon and Shannon's Demon?

Both are “demons” that appear to conjure order out of randomness. Maxwell's Demon, imagined by physicist James Clerk Maxwell in 1867, is a hypothetical being that sorts fast and slow molecules to lower a gas's entropy — seemingly defying the second law of thermodynamics. The paradox was only resolved in the 20th century, when Leó Szilárd and later Rolf Landauer showed the demon must gather and ultimately erase information to do its sorting, and that erasing information itself costs energy. Information and physical entropy turned out to be two sides of the same coin — the very link Shannon's information theory made precise. Shannon's Demon, the volatility-harvesting rebalancing strategy named in his honor, is the financial echo: it extracts “order” — steady compounding — from the disordered, random churn of volatile prices. The deep lesson is identical in both cases: you can't get order for free. Maxwell's demon pays in energy; Shannon's demon pays in transaction costs. That's exactly why NoArk favors disciplined, low-frequency strategies where the cost of harvesting order never exceeds the order harvested.

What is Shannon's Demon, and does NoArk use it?

Alongside his skepticism of technical analysis, Claude Shannon recognized the practical friction of real markets. He conceptually developed highly systematic, volatility-driven portfolio-rebalancing strategies — sometimes called “Shannon's Demon” — but never executed many of these mathematical ideas on Wall Street, concluding that the high commissions and transaction costs of frequent trading would quickly eat into any mathematical advantage over a simple buy-and-hold strategy. NoArk takes the same lesson to heart, favoring disciplined, low-frequency strategies where costs don't erode the edge.

Did someone crack the Black-Scholes formula before the Nobel Prize — and refuse to invest in LTCM?

Yes — and he was a friend and collaborator of Claude Shannon. Mathematician Edward Thorp derived an option-pricing formula essentially equivalent to Black-Scholes years before the famous 1973 paper, and used it to run one of the most successful hedge funds ever. The twist: when Myron Scholes and Robert C. Merton — who shared the 1997 Nobel Prize for that formula — co-founded the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM), Thorp declined to invest. LTCM then spectacularly collapsed in 1998 and needed a Wall Street bailout. The lesson we take to heart: elegant math isn't enough — disciplined risk management and respect for leverage and real-world costs are what actually last.

Do you use the Sharpe Ratio to measure risk?

No — we're skeptical of it. The Sharpe Ratio, proposed by Nobel laureate William Sharpe, scores return per unit of standard deviation. But it only tells you about the past, not the future, and it treats standard deviation as if it equals risk — which we don't accept. Volatility isn't risk; the real risk is a permanent loss of capital. A strategy can post a beautiful historical Sharpe Ratio right up until it blows up (see LTCM). So instead of optimizing a backward-looking volatility statistic, we focus on avoiding permanent loss — never using leverage, staying long-only and fully funded.

What matters most in the AI era?

We believe the things AI can't hand you: love and taste. As machines take on more of the work, your capacity to care for people, and to develop genuine taste — knowing what's good, true, and worth doing — become your real edge. Just as essential are the foundations that let you use them: your health and a solid financial base. NoArk is built to strengthen those foundations, so you're free to focus on what only you can bring.

We have a new idea in mind: companies that succeed in developing AI agents with Claude Shannon’s vision in mind should help distribute some of their profits to their customers. This would help alleviate the wealth gap and help people live better lives.

Tell us what you want next: email us for custom features you'd love to see, anything you like or dislike about the app, or the personal heroes and luminaries you admire who are missing from our list (they just need to be historical figures who have passed away). We read every message.
