Unfortunately I would rather have a dystopian Neromancer future than a Cuba/Venezuela shit-hole.
The U.S.A is already known as the "Shit-Hole of America", because the rest of the world can rename things too!
Can start calling internet companies utilities now?
I say it's time for full regulation.

A company that effectively owns all the venues for events is a de facto monopoly.
I don't believe Ticket Master/Live Nation owns (many, any?) of the venues, but you're right that they do have exclusivity for selling tickets at said venues, for pretty much any and all events that matter to those venues.
But the fact that that calculation is going on is fucking insane and we should all be freaking the fuck out right now
As I heard someone say recently - we're now towards the end of that authoritarian playbook, not the beginning of it. Should've been freaking the fuck out long ago.
Another thing I would love to see more of is virtual tickets where I could buy a streaming ticket for the night and watch the show from home. I think it would take some of the sting out of not being able to get tickets or afford them.
I can see in the future some sort of "VR concert" where you can "attend" (by wearing a VR set) a live event, and experience it as, say, a front-row spectator.
They would still exist as live events, but be less 'luxury good' only available to the rich/lucky few.
Kinda like how the VCR lifted the limits of how you can view movies, etc.
So how long before the jokes all comedians tell all sound the same (same theme, same setup, same punchline)?
AI's Ability To Displace Jobs is Advancing Quickly, Anthropic CEO Says
