        Even Nir Eyal has had to move towards more explicit "sure, I said, but hooking people in some ways may not be ethical."

        We really need to curtail the gig economy.

        Uber, as usual, finds a way to be forward leaning in perniciousness but these methods are not unique to it, or the gig economy.

        Core issue is that labor, too, is increasingly marked by very rich data in the corporate side but with great information asymmetry.

        Now with cognitive and psychological tools and a lot of personalized data, not just control over physical steps over vague populations.

        It's entirely possible labor laws "hold back" companies which is why we have those laws.

        When you see a scummy company, don't use it.

        I hope there's a follow-up on the superoptimizers that drive for Uber and make bank by gaming the system in reverse. There're two sides here

        Like what? The reverse of this isn't strategizing by the workers, though, since only one side has info and platform control.
