Two hosts dig into the latest gig economy twists: Uber’s targeted ads built on trip insights, DoorDash account takeovers draining restaurant payouts, porch pirates using Wi‑Fi jammers, and the messy realities behind driverless rides. We weigh security fixes, fair pay, and where AI helps or hurts.
• Uber ads tied to anonymised trip insights and rising rider prices
• DoorDash merchant hacks via email credential theft and weak 2FA
• Package theft escalation with Wi‑Fi jammers and hardwired camera defenses
• Uber DUI arrest mid‑ride and rider safety concerns
• Discrimination claim against an Uber driver and policy enforcement
• Instacart’s ChatGPT integration and conversational commerce
• Waymo roadside assists for doors, belts and cleaning standards
• License plate reader side hustle economics and feasibility
• Culture wars over “real jobs” in delivery and flexible work value
• Practical tips for securing payouts, packages and vehicles
