The Verge:

Uber is testing an on-demand staffing business called Uber Works, according to the Financial Times. The service would make it possible for businesses to hire short-term workers for things like “events and corporate functions, such as waiters or security guards," the report says. The company is trialing the service in Chicago after testing it in Los Angeles earlier this year.

I know, they’re not the first here, but goddamn this sounds dystopian.
