I’m suggesting that the choice between industrialization and skilled labor is a false one because China is industrialized and has a highly skilled labor force. I agree this is because of American owners seeking profit, but it seems the same won’t happen to China now that they’re industrialized.

Deskilling blue collar labor is how America gave China a manufacturing edge. What do you think will be the result of deskilling white collar labor?

Here’s a question: why don’t you take their advice seriously instead of being so sensitive to their manners?

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.

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.

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 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?).

Who needs IP laws when you have EULAs that bar competition? Certainly not corporations with their armies of lawyers.

I can’t take made up curves seriously

I’m surprised it didn’t end as a crypto announcement

It’s not even a question when we’re literally fighting for due process.

Stop confusing young autistic vulnerable people.

I’m old and autistic and not confused by the fact trans women are women. Hope that helps.

After 2 weeks I think they would say something if they had something, and even then…

But those are for hire. Unlike American Democracy, the CCP can’t be bought.

Because shit for brains says we just need to train our AI models until they’re sentient. So that means we need all our workers reviewing the output of AI as much as possible until that happens.

Until AI can sexually assault their workers, can it really be said they’re qualified for the position?

Lol, yeah. Keep paying us developers to write that philosopher stone. For writing general AI my rate is 100x because it’s magic you can’t understand without being able to write code.

There’s a plenty of ideological reasons, but I think it is partly the environment being so stressful makes it harder for people to be considerate to new viewpoints or people.

This is why they fired the JAG lawyers at the Pentagon: there won’t be any legal expert opinions in the military to tell the soldiers the order is illegal.

Billionaires are often referred to as dragons because they horde wealth. A Guillotine that could know the difference and decide to only harm billionaires would be a technological marvel.
