>Neither of these are low hanging fruit for automation
The Uber app already does both of these things. Encouragement is done via gamification and adjusting pricing and the app itself collects all the data it needs and explains everything the driver needs to know.
- notahacker 4y agoAh yes, the Uber app. Because all work is as simple and collaborative as going to a particular point to pick up a passenger, everybody dreams of working for a worker-friendly organization like Uber.
- vasco 4y agoWhat they are saying is that for some jobs, it's already like this, so it's not completely out there to consider it expanding as tech gets better. Uber being good or bad is besides the point.
- pydry 4y agoCertainly it cant be applied as effectively to every domain but it's already spreading. In some domains I'll bet it will mean that middle managers will simply have the tools to be able to effectively manage 60 instead of 10 workers. In others perhaps it wont change much. In others like taxis the middle manager will be made entirely redundant. I dont think it's necessarily a good thing either but that doesnt mean it's not going to happen.
