Economy

DoorDash has launched a new option for its gig economy workers to earn some extra cash. The delivery service introduced Tasks, which it describes as "short activities Dashers can complete between deliveries or in their own time." It gives taking pictures of restaurant dishes or recording video of unscripted conversations in languages other than English as examples. These materials will be used to train artificial intelligence and robotics models. 

Chalk up a win for creative artists against AI companies. On Wednesday, the UK government abandoned its previous position on copyrighted works.

Welcome to the weird world of Boys Go to Jupiter, where aliens hang out with delivery boys, juice factories house mutant fruits grown from moon rocks, and funky electronic songs lurk around every corner.
