In case someone needs help:

Uber/Lyft Airbnb Bitcoin/Crypotocurrency ChatGPT/LLMs

Because you have 2/4 general terms:

  • Rideshare
  • Short term rentals
  • Crypto
  • LLM
  • “Rideshare” is also the least accurate term used to dodge regulations. It is just a taxi/cab. You are paying someone to get you from one place to another. They aren’t sharing their ride, they were never going where you are going before you told them to.

    Taxis/cabs are legal. Also, perhaps because of age, I tend to view taxis and cabs as phone numbers you call for a car to show up (or go to a taxi stand), whereas I see rideshare as reserve via an app.

    I think ride share really just means a vehicle that is used not solely for commercial purposes

    I use a local cab company. They smartened up after getting crushed by uber in the first couple years of their existence. Now they have an app that’s similar to uber, but I just call and use the web link that shows me where the car is.

    It’s literally the same service, but I have to give my info to Uber’s app to get it.
