@glyph Look at what AirBnB has done not only with hotels, but with the rental market of many major cities, pricing locals out. It's very exploitative, and it is done by working around regulatory systems which were put there democratically—literally, as in "put into law by an elected legislative body"—for a reason. All the piracy feeding every AI system. The examples go on and on.
Tech bros always operated by breaking the law. What is happening in Washington is no different.
