Sorry but my spine only lets me punch down.

Only disagree on how much they suck. There are many more reasons why they lost.

Enshittification is a paradigm shift, but not one we associate with the birth of the internet.

On to your list. Why does misinformation appear after the birth of the internet? Was yellow journalism just a historical outlier?

What you’re witnessing is the “Red Queen hypothesis”. LLMs have revolutionized the scam industry and step 7 is an AI arms race against and with misinformation.

A more succinct title would be Author uses LLMs to do TDD (test driven development)

LLMs are not like the birth of the internet. LLMs are more like what came after when marketing took over the roadmap. We had AI before LLMs, and it delivered high quality search results. Now we have search powered by LLMs and the quality is dramatically lower.

At our library we teach people how to do art, including crochet. If the person is able to go to the library then they aren’t being gatekeeped from learning art.

My alternative? AI art isn’t even art so at this point we’re just debating what is a better skill: crafting or prompting.

What’s the end game here for the poor person who is too busy to have hobbies? They should work more to afford Generative AI art? Make it make sense.

Wipe out ethnic groups? I mean they invade but Uighur and Tibetan ethnic groups still flourish. Are there other examples?

IDK about “white knight”; I first heard the phrase “dangerous by default” from a black man recounting how he got nervous being on an elevator with a white woman.

“Dangerous by default” is one hell of a thing to internalize 😞

Newsom is pitching Generative AI to make government more “efficient” : https://abc7.com/post/gavin-newsom-announces-ai-driven-efforts-help-california-reduce-traffic-jams-improve-road-safety/16279785/

I know what these words mean individually, but arranged like this two of the three words lose their meaning.

Regardless of the team size, I say simplify as much as you can so you can dedicate your resources customizing what makes their business special. You mentioned a PBX system and no infrastructure, this makes me think you talking about Customer Management. It sounds like you’re documenting as you go, fantastic. Maybe loop in a noob time to time to review the documentation or have a Q&A that reifies the docs. Best of luck!

I doubt most people are well informed so there’s room for improvement.

Plan for the extinction of capitalism: you’re a terrorist

Reading fiction has helped me be a better person, I wish the same for you.

I think a concern for the business is whether other people can help maintain the system. As such don’t go too custom and roll your own. Take things like nextcloud and see if you can fit the requirements by bolting on a few docker services. Keep it simple by using “appliances” where it makes sense (dedicated NAS?).

That diminishes the things some of them have done, like meet with those who were disappeared. Or attempt to shutdown the government.

If purity is your jam, Jesus said some radical things about rich people.

And the Democrats won’t do that unless the people make politicians fear the consequences of attempting a dictatorship.
