    Disney has for gatekeeping media,

    Disney hired real artists. Their artists did such amazing work that everyone copied Disney which caused the gatekeeping. Nothing stopped artist from not copying Disney to create their own works like Pixar before they were bought by Disney. AI art comes from training on existing art. So its not expanding culture to cut and paste existing art. It’s a great time saver for home users to create art that is out of their ability. But its not a substitute for real artists.

    The cab company alternative was a taxi, which was a government granted monopoly known for having extortionate prices.

    Which existed because to prevent congestion, accountability against criminal acts, and maintained an employee/employer relationship. Despite its drawbacks, employees have more rights than gig economy workers.

    I guess what’s next is an app Airplane company that ignores all regulations and lands on parking lots because it will be cheaper than following the laws. So what if a few people die if tens of thousands save money and have more convenience.

    Using a public ledger that can be tied directly to a person

    Its far more easy to trace money in a bank account or made through a credit card than crypto. In most cases crypto is completely untraceable until turned into real money that’s deposited into a bank.

      Disney does own most of the distribution now, which will eventually move to something free like Youtube. But instead of the artists being beholden to Disney and making a pittance on Disneys revenue they can do it themselves, still making their own art, and use AI, whatever they want to tell a compelling story.

      USD is widely used and distributed, and there is zero way for them to track the majority of bills which flow all over the world.
