"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Why would they? Outsourcing is cheaper than maintaining their own fleet of delivery vehicles.
Door Dash is essentially a wage theft app designed to outsource the costs of doing business onto the worker.
To my knowledge they didn't maintain fleets of vehicles. Least on my side of the country pizza delivery jobs used to be, bring your own vehicle, company might provide you a stupid little hat to put on your car. But they still had to pay you for your time when there weren't deliveries.
Even when they didn't provide the vehicle, they still had to insure it and they had to provide workers' comp if a driver was hurt doing their job. You don't have to insure Door Dash drivers and if they get t-boned in an intersection or assaulted it's not your problem.
