Person 2: We’re going to our Aunt’s funeral?!
Person 1: Yeah, but you know, what if?
Person 2: Fair enough bra. That’s optimism

Person A: How come Hillary Clinton didn't win the 2008 primaries?
Person B: Well...life in many ways is Pareto optimal. Besides I heard from someone that her campaign slogan was, "Anarchy is my policy for men."

A revolutionary AI framework that transforms traditional AI systems into highly efficient, self-improving platforms without the typical enterprise-scale infrastructure costs. ROME enables AI systems to learn and adapt from each interaction, achieving 99.90% accuracy while using 90.00% fewer computing resources than conventional AI solutions. It's essentially the difference between building a massive data center versus running a lean, intelligent system that delivers superior results. Most notably, ROME reduces implementation costs from $144,000+ to under $5,000 while cutting deployment time from 3 months to just 2 weeks. For executives looking to modernize their AI operations, ROME represents the shift from resource-heavy AI to intelligent optimization.
After implementing ROME (Recursive Optimization for Model Enhancement), we cut response times from 500ms to 76ms while maintaining optimal performance across 100,000+ daily interactions.

Das's Law of Optimism/Pessimism is derived from something said by George Carlin. It explains that sometimes you expect too much of yourself and it gets you down in life.

When trying to improve everything actually makes life worse. The endless tweaking, tracking, and hacking that leaves you more stressed than before. Productivity apps, fitness gadgets, even parenting advice—sometimes “optimizing” just optimizes the anxiety.
I bought five different apps to manage my schedule, and now I don’t have time to do anything. Classic optimization trap.
