- bastawhiz 8y agoBy "Uber for X" do you mean "services that can only be offered in person and come to you"? Because that business model was present long before Uber and will likely be present until the extinction of mankind. Just because you've associated it with a meme doesn't make it a phase.
- anonytrary 8y ago> will likely be present until the extinction of mankind I agree with most of your comment except this. Are you really saying that you don't think we can eventually automate on-demand services in every domain we can conceive?
- bastawhiz 8y agoHow do you propose receiving a haircut if nobody—or nothing—cuts it (and you don't physically go somewhere)?

- bastawhiz 8y agoAnd folks would still be saying "Uber for Nano drones with scissors"
- anonytrary 8y agoThis isn't the right question since any answer you get today is probably not going to be how it's done in the eventual future when it actually is solved. "Nano drones with scissors" is exactly what someone in 2019 would say. The point is that it's a known unknown.
