We're probably in the last few years where driving is a job for humans and robotaxis take over. Meanwhile, the technology that will eventually take their jobs, is making life worse for those humans.
A new technology manipulating people in unseen and unknown ways to get away with paying them less. I wonder if it will catch on?
Uber is using AI to reduce the amount its drivers get paid per fare and to stop them getting previously agreed on bonuses.

This is the issue with capitalism, it can’t be left unchecked, profits will always be maximised above all else (society, environment etc.).
No actual details in the article other than to reference a survey that is based on feelings
but I was assured AI would just give these people the freedom to pursue what they want to do
The recent trend/belief that Peter Schiff “destroyed” Mark Ruffalo regarding capitalism fails to consider the ever fucking depressing prospects of the bottom 50% from all sides – socioeconomic, health, QoL, etc.
Capitalism spurs innovation! Scientific advancement! So where’s the cure for cancer and diseases or freeing the the most valuable resource a human has, time, and allowing everyone the freedom to pursue meaningful lives according to their own wants? Capitalism has done great good and followed up by gatekeeping life changing medicines, procedures, and the most basic needs. AI isn’t gonna do shit for our lives which we couldn’t already do. And even if it did find a way to make anyone immortal, you sure as shit it’ll only be for the top 0.0001%.
that only took like 18 months for other people to catch on what i noticed and mentioned all the way back then
all of these companies use this tech to steal small amounts they can predict accurately you will not fight them over.
i said all of the companies, because i mean all of the companies. your bank, netflix, amazon, etc etc etc are all doing this to you.
so fight them over it. that’s the solution. it only works when all you do is complain on social media.
Why anyone use uber, I booked a lux ride for 43 and when I arrived it charged me 70. Nearly double the cost.
