"We're living in the future. I'll tell you how I know. I read it in the paper. Fifteen years ago."

Having watched enough Kitboga I think we're underestimating the impact of the sheer joy and catharsis fake money for criminals ends up causing

Hmmm ... the technology that is literally driving people insane so a few investors can make advertising money

[–] brewery@feddit.uk 25 points 1 day ago

How about

reinventing trains but worse
rocketing amount of space launches filling up junk
we deliver everything but once we take over it'll all be crap rip off products (for slave wages)
we deliver any food by people who can't drive (for slave wages)
we'll create algorithms to enforce society divisions and hurt mental health of children
we'll take over a popular platform and make it even more disgusting and fascist

"Exploiting immigrants to deliver food"

[–] acantharea@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Wait till you learn about their latest innovation!

Exploiting individuals from other countries to bypass labor laws in the country of business operation via distributed outsourcing. Why even pay minimum wage in the US?

Needs a "penis rocket" option.

[–] RabbitBBQ@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Don't forget about the tech/government surveillence state that is all up in your ass

[–] RAFAELRAMIREZ@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It’s funny how a lot of “innovations” are really just old ideas wrapped in new technology.

Where's "video games that you never actually own, but at least you pay to beat them"?

Where's "removal of a common phone feature, because if you don't buy a $528 external DAC and a $9164 planar headphones, you'll be okay with a pair of raycons"?

Where's "video games that you never actually own, but at least you pay to beat them"?

This new and groundbreaking technological innovation?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

So gatcha games are just video games returning to their roots?

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It gets funnier when people do everything they can to not even play them, even paying to cheat

It's like Idiocracy and the waiting guy

Personally I'd say every single product and service being transparently wrapped in a personal information honeypot

Just give me your ID bro. It's totally to protect the kids bro.

These results are so backwards. Does literally anyone feel bad for the legal cab companies? lol

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Just because the legal system is bad doesn't make an illegal system better. You fix the legal problem.

"I can't find a cab doesn't mean the solution is unregulated gig workers.
"Don't worry if an independent contractor rapes you, just give him 1 star and the free market will fix the problem."

Think of how much money Starbucks would save if they made their employees provide their own coffee machines, beans and paper cups. That's where it's going.

Profits are higher than ever before! (For the companies, not the workers)

About cab companies, not really. Often times they operate as a cartel. But they do have better working conditions for drivers and less precariousness

In case someone needs help:

Uber/Lyft

Airbnb

Bitcoin/Crypotocurrency

ChatGPT/LLMs

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 74 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Because you have 2/4 general terms:

Rideshare
Short term rentals
Crypto
LLM

[–] exu@feditown.com 63 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Cryptocurrency not Cryptography to disambiguate again

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

People chose the one option that's able to literally take everyone's jobs away from them someday?

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Take the jobs with no actual plan on what people are going to do afterwards lol
