The plagiarism machine is eroding any moat a company like Disney has for gatekeeping media, the way its going a tiny group of people can replace a studio. This will usher in an era of free media and allow a real culture to develop that a for-profit corporation could never create.

The cab company alternative was a taxi, which was a government granted monopoly known for having extortionate prices.

Using a public ledger that can be tied directly to a person is an awfully silly way to hide a crime, exchanging cash or some other untraceable medium of exchange is far safer.

Hotels I can agree with, but only because zoning laws prevent density from forming automatically when theres more demand for scarce real estate. Its really only a problem due to municipal zoning laws which are the main cause of rising home values.

Disney has for gatekeeping media,

Disney hired real artists. Their artists did such amazing work that everyone copied Disney which caused the gatekeeping. Nothing stopped artist from not copying Disney to create their own works like Pixar before they were bought by Disney. AI art comes from training on existing art. So its not expanding culture to cut and paste existing art. It's a great time saver for home users to create art that is out of their ability. But its not a substitute for real artists.

The cab company alternative was a taxi, which was a government granted monopoly known for having extortionate prices.

Which existed because to prevent congestion, accountability against criminal acts, and maintained an employee/employer relationship. Despite its drawbacks, employees have more rights than gig economy workers.

I guess what's next is an app Airplane company that ignores all regulations and lands on parking lots because it will be cheaper than following the laws. So what if a few people die if tens of thousands save money and have more convenience.

Using a public ledger that can be tied directly to a person

Its far more easy to trace money in a bank account or made through a credit card than crypto. In most cases crypto is completely untraceable until turned into real money that's deposited into a bank.

Disney does own the distribution now, which will eventually just be something free like Youtube. But now instead of the artists being beholden to Disney and making a pittance of Disneys revenue they can still make their own art, and use AI, whatever they want to tell a compelling story.

USD is widely used and distributed, and there is zero way for them to track the majority of bills which flow all over the world.

Gen AI will erode all originality and make any kind of career in the arts impossible.

The cheaper taxis are only possible on the backs of people who don't understand car depreciation or the fact they don't have any kind of pension or social security benefits. The gig economy is a scam.

There's tons of crypto coins that don't have a ledger. None of them have regulations.

Agree to disagree, I think it opens up the doors to average people making large projects that would have never been possible before. Children will love making videos just as I loved online flash animations and using 3d Movie Maker growing up, the doomerism is astounding when companies like Disney have grown so fat and garish.

Again taxi companies are already gouging us and this is the reality you are trying to save us from, Taxi companies also provide a crap service. I find Uber a far better service.

What ledger'less crypto has enough trade volume to absorb the proceeds of crime? I assumed it meant something with some actual trade volume like Bitcoin.
