Wise Pessimisms

Albert Y. C. Lai, trebla [at] vex [dot] net

0. Every silver lining has tarnish.

1. Half of the glass is empty, and the other half is not even the right drink.

2. All good things become legacy systems that can be neither retired nor rejuvenated.

3. Those who have learned from history are doomed to helplessly watch other people repeat it.

4. The road to hell is paved with well intention, or any intention, or no intention at all.

5. Show someone how to fish, and you have one view and one like. Give them a fish, and you have their subscription for life.

6. Those LLMS that have learned from history are doomed to repeat it.

6+3. Those who have learned from history are doomed to helplessly watch those LLMS that have learned from history doomed to repeat it.

7. First they (management) require you to use LLMs. Then they replace you by LLMs. Then they laugh at you. Then they ignore you. Then they win.

8. “I disagree with your life choices, but I would defend with my life your right to ruin yourself.” – Nietzsche (rumoured (why not))
