“Rideshare” is also the least accurate term used to dodge regulations. It is just a taxi/cab. You are paying someone to get you from one place to another. They aren’t sharing their ride, they were never going where you are going before you told them to.
Taxis/cabs are legal. Also, perhaps because of age, I tend to view taxis and cabs as phone numbers you call for a car to show up (or go to a taxi stand), whereas I see rideshare as reserve via an app.
I think ride share really just means a vehicle that is used not solely for commercial purposes
They are legal if you follow the regulations. The problem with the “rideshare” companies is that they don’t. We should just call them “unregulated taxis” rather than pretending that they are a different service. I think just about every taxi company these days is on some app or another (often the same that call unregulated cabs in countries that actually got their shit together and banned the unregulated ones).

I’d like to point out this probably would have taken another 10-15 years to achieve had it not been for the disruption of said ridesharing apps.
I’m assuming/ hoping you mean the taxi drivers when you say workers.
I empathize with anyone who’s livelihood is affected by changes in society. But stagnating progress because someone somewhere will be negatively impacted only assures no progress will ever be made.
I mean we could build a better social safety net so this doesn’t happen…
You telling me you think we should continue to endure a transportation system that is basically a monopoly, where the user has little transparency on what they get charged beforehand, where they can only use the service if they call or are lucky enough to be in a high traffic location, just so no one loses their job?
I use a local cab company. They smartened up after getting crushed by uber in the first couple years of their existence. Now they have an app that’s similar to uber, but I just call and use the web link that shows me where the car is.
It’s literally the same service, but I have to give my info to Uber’s app to get it.
Because you have 2/4 general terms:
Cryptocurrency not Cryptography to disambiguate again
Cryptozoology? I KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE FUCKING BIGFOOT!!!
Sorry, at this point the term “crypto” has been thoroughly claimed by the shysters.

They literally changed the name of the company from UberCab to duck regulation.
It would have been cool if they’d renamed themselves “Calloway”.

Just because there’s a inconvenience for consumers doesn’t mean you make workers suffer instead of fixing the problem.

You can have progress without forcing people into starvation because “it’s the system”.

Lmao as if the cab companies weren’t a cartel making their own regulations.

shouldnt 4 also include AI generated images?
Better term would probably be generative AI to also cover music, video and my grandmother’s soul.
Llms generate those afaik
No, those are generally diffusion models, not large language models. Language models generate text.
