And they know what they want because they tell us

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.

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.

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 😞

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?).

Can our AI fall in love with a human? Scientists laughed at me when I asked them but I found this weird billionaire to pay me to have sex with his robot.

I can't take made up curves seriously

It amazes me how these people are basically a stereotype. Especially for all their talk about individuality...
