If you don't like these fast changes, time to plan a move to more "traditional" countries like Italy or Spain. Apart from fiber internet, almost all tech advances were ignored for the most part: limited uber, limited airbnb, and yes you will need to call the restaurant to book a table.
Even just the concept of "chat support" is foreign, let alone having a website for a business. There are still very many businesses without a social media presence, which would be unimaginable in North America.
ChatGPT and co. will not have a significant impact in these countries. It's the same thing - uber didn't take away taxi drivers jobs and neither did airbnb impact hotels here (and because of regulation, it won't).
This really is the way. What use are politicians if they don't make laws that make people's lives easier. To bad the United States isn't a democracy like many European countries are.
How does blocking Uber make people's lives easier? Or did you just mean easier for the taxi drivers because they can extract political rents using the government as their tool, at the expense of broader society?
Spain has the highest unemployment rate in Western Europe. Let's hope their weather doesn't change much and continues to attract tourists so they can continue to support their unworking populace through regulation instead of innovation
I live in Spain and this is false. There is Uber/Uber Eats/something similar in all cities and big towns, airbnb everywhere, chat support, all businesses have either a website or social media presence, you can book a table using whatsapp or social media such as Instagram, etc. Spain is nothing like you imagine it.
