We can steelman Uber, or, less emotionally, but more productively, the idea of "dynamic pricing".

Dynamic pricing is already less controversial than "rent seeking" but Elizabeth Warren is already getting pushback from Pg who is getting pushback from the centre-left.

Your comment will likely fall off due to the HN voting algorithm, but I'd like to make a quick hattip to the idea of productive friction (eutripsis) which AI-augmented debates can produce.

You know how drunken debates with friends over trivia became pointless with the advent of Google and Wikipedia. The debates didn't get better. But they could.
