    “before Uber, we had underfunded public transit” well we still do, this is a public problem not a private one

    “before Crypto, there was no Crypto” ok granny, the rest of the world had bank transfers

    “AI is the future” no, what they’re calling AI right now is a giant scam. the tech will come, but this aint it

      You can classify it however you like but Uber made it better, if only for a while. No matter what you think the problem is or was it clearly wasn’t going to change on it’s own.

      “before Crypto, there was no Crypto” ok granny, the rest of the world had bank transfers

      This is something people who do not do international transfers (ignorant people) say. Bank transfers with up the ass fees and exchange rates decided by the same people. Crypto came along and rates became more competitive, showing there is demand and allowing services like Wise to come around.

      “AI is the future” no, what they’re calling AI right now is a giant scam. the tech will come, but this aint it

      Again a comment from the ignorant. You can be pedantic and call it"not real AI" but generative AI and LLM is in use now and billions are being spent too build up the infrastructure. Companies and governments aren’t doing that if the payoff isn’t there.
