A video: “Ordering with apps: Why gig workers are suffering”
Having food delivered through the tap of an app is part of everyday life. Even care workers can be gig workers now. Algorithms decide who gets the job. What does this mean for the labor market and consumers? #Technology #dwdigital #gigwork #careworkers #App #Deliverydrivers #Drivingwork #Uber Here are some timestamped highlights from the video: The Gig Economy and its Challenges…

Just #SurveillanceCapitalism things. Absolute creep behaviour. And this is why I try hard not to actually use the Crimson card and just transfer money to my debit card ASAP instead. Because knowing #DoorDash, they'll track when you top off your tank and skew you towards shitty offers, knowing you might be more apt to take them at the top of the tank than the bottom. #gigwork #GigWorker #surveillance #capitalism

Legal Gaps & Emerging Regulatory Landscape
India’s “Code on Social Security 2020” recognizes gig workers but lacks AI governance or algorithmic fairness provisions.

Data as Discipline: Surveillance & Rights Erosion
The invasive proliferation of smartphones and low-cost internet harvests extensive personal data, including GPS, biometrics, app and internet usage, often without informed consent.

Algorithmic Control in Gig Work: Freedom or Digital Exploitation?
Increased automation results in invisible replacement of low-income, semi-skilled human managers, dictating when, where, and how workers get jobs.

"Scale AI is basically a data annotation hub that does essential grunt work for the AI industry. To train an AI model, you need quality data. And for that data to mean anything, an AI model needs to know what it's looking at. Annotators manually go in and add that context.
As is the means du jour in corporate America, Scale AI built its business model on an army of egregiously underpaid gig workers, many of them overseas. The conditions have been described as "digital sweatshops," and many workers have accused Scale AI of wage theft.
It turns out this was not an environment for fostering high-quality work.
According to internal documents obtained by Inc, Scale AI's "Bulba Experts" program to train Google's AI systems was supposed to be staffed with authorities across relevant fields. But instead, during a chaotic 11 months between March 2023 and April 2024, its dubious "contributors" inundated the program with "spam," which was described as "writing gibberish, writing incorrect information, GPT-generated thought processes."
In many cases, the spammers, who were independent contractors who worked through Scale AI-owned platforms like Remotasks and Outlier, still got paid for submitting complete nonsense, according to former Scale contractors, since it became almost impossible to catch them all. And even if they did get caught, some would come back by simply using a VPN.
"People made so much money," a former contributor told Inc. "They just hired everybody who could breathe.""

After doing a bunch of #gigwork #DoorDash and other odd jobs to pay for various/sundry requirements of TCC's nursing program, I had a bit of spare money left over for June. Closing June out by becoming a normal member of the Open Street Map Foundation for a year (and hopefully many more).

This temp gig I'm working is essential supplemental, so I would endure the overtime even with a bad fit. But my team mate is a godsend and I am so thankful 🥰 #MutualRespect #gigwork
I've tapped a few people for emotional support, and I chose correctly who to confide in. I cried today, I needed to cry.
I am not alone! I have assembled a support network, I can rely on different people for different areas of advice/listening. I have now demonstrated that I can use it.

#App-basierte #Lieferdienste:
#Wegwerfjobs für #marginalisierte #Menschen
Sogenannte #GigWork hat zu #Recht einen schlechten Ruf. Dennoch ist der #Arbeitssektor in den vergangenen Jahren stark gewachsen. Eine #repräsentative #Studie hat nun herausgefunden, warum Menschen solche Jobs überhaupt annehmen – und warum sie so oft schnell wieder kündigen.

#filmmaker #TakuAoyagi takes us on his daily bike rides as an #UberEats #worker. But pedaling on #Tokyo's deserted streets, delivering #bobatea to cloistered condos, he starts to wonder...what was it that #KenLoach said about the #UberisationofSoceity? And what does #gigwork offer an unemployed young person with #studentdebt?

With analysts (and the gig companies themselves) predicting an influx of new gig workers because of a possible recession, I talked with existing gig workers about what that could mean for them. An Instacart and Shipt worker said she wouldn't begrudge new gig workers, but "they probably won’t make much money, and the people who are already doing it will make less money.”
