All this Uber talk reminds me of this image a friend shared a week ago, 125 GBP uber to the airport. Driver inadvertently took the scenic route...



If this were a regular cab, it would be almost impossible to get some of your money back. With Uber you have the evidence and a handy report button. Not saying that Uber is the future, but it's pushing forward some good ideas for the industry along with all of its underhanded poo poo.

It's incredible that the cab dispatch companies make Uber look good in comparison.

The specialist you hired to fix your car or refrigerator isn't going to find multiple GB of your weird fetish porn.

Watersports fetish freaks learn to do their own plumbing, it happens.

If the AI exists and has enough power to do all of that, it has enough power to simply manipulate events to create itself as fast as possible. Furthermore these fuckers have no idea how to actually create said ai as fast as possible. Me typing on this forum might be accelerating its existence or might not, I have no way of determining what will or will not lead to said ai so I might as well do what I think is best and hope it all works out.

Sounds more like a Flying Spaghetti Monster than an AI.

How do I monetize nerds' classist disdain for people that work outside and for areas with population densities that are less than three digits?

Convince coders and IT people that unions are beneath them. Then force them to work constant mandatory overtime in exchange for pool tables and arcade machines in a brightly colored office.

They'll even brag to their friends how much extra work they're doing for free, because they have an expensive STEM degree.
