What else can they put a digital gate in front of? Taxis, delivery, dating, they're doing medicine now. How much more copper wire can you strip out of this bitch?
Isn't that just loan sharking? Lmao with an app a giant guy named Bruno just shows up at your house and kicks your ass until you make a student loan payment.
Yeah, that'd be it. Gig economy loan sharking feels like just the right level of depressing cyberpunk-esque reality. Like it's violent and oppressive and they'd make being a corp mook even more dehumanizing by not giving them benefits.
On second thought, it'll probably be part of a private police force thing. Gig economy loan sharking would get too close to disrupting the monopoly on violence
plenty, especially if we manage to further repeal regulations or (as in the case of airbnb) just ignore them because it turns out the government never had a plan to handle the contingency of companies not following the rules. I'm surprised doctors haven't been gig-ified yet.

Inb4 someone makes an app for selling stolen copper wire
It's called craigslist
App for selling contracts for assassinating billionaires. I know I've already made this pitch before but I'll keep making it

That chud meme from the World Economic Forum video is actually accurate, but they just call it socialism when it's actually capitalism lol
(The one with the smiling guy that says "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy")
I had the insanely awful idea of gigifying debt collection. I'm sure that's already a thing somehow

following up on this, today I got an ad for "shef.com", which I hadn't heard of before. they are gig-ifying homemade food. :agony-yehaw:
That also seems like it would create all sorts of health code issues...
I just saw this. What in the fuck? I have nothing constructive to add other than bewilderment.
