“Warning to the Spellbound (Sonnet from the future) In our times we wrote our own literature, In our times we wrote our own music. In our times we wrote our own code, In our times we wrote our own poetry. Ours was the last human generation, where humans shaped their own society. The day you traded comfort for originality, you forfeited the right to life and liberty. Today you are nothing, you mean thing, you are no more significant than woodworm. You are just puppets to large gibberish models, backboneless victims of algorithm addiction.

We can't yet treat human bias, 'n here comes AI bias, Abandon all non-vital tech, return to simpler ways.”

“AI is the white colonizer of the modern world, headed to destroy everything that is sweet, original and meaningful about human life. Unless you clip its wings while there is time, like the British empire, AI empire will bring back the dark ages, not light.”

“Technology is inevitable, AI is inevitable - first it's basic algorithm, now it's Generative AI, later it's AI agents, afterwards, physical AI. And we can do nothing about it, what we can do is, make sure that the step-up for AI is not a step-down for humans - we gotta make sure that as machines are upgraded from lifeless devices to automatons with pretend-sentience, human mind isn't downgraded to obsolescence.”

“There will be cases where you try all the alternatives and can't find a better way to accomplish a business-critical change. This is okay! Just remember to document that you tried.”

“Time dilation occurs at relativistic speeds, in the presence of intense gravitational fields, and while waiting for a webpage to load.”

“Fig. 1.06: Initializing a variable to a new object, using a constructor, and realizing I was 30 years old when I wrote the first edition of this book, oh my god I am so old where did the time and my youth go!?”
