@Uber_Support and @UberMexico
Left phone in driver's car early today in CDMX. Driver confirmed via app he has it. Masked number busy on every attempt. No support contact path working. Trip was 12:37 AM Apr 25. Need agent to coordinate return. Please DM.

Seems to me we will move more toward the direction of delegation to AI for decision making vs the other way around ie AI helping inform us to make decisions ourselves. Of course this assume the tech gets good enough to match people’s nature.

[David Schafran @drschafran]

Hot take: The more we see agents make good decisions on our behalf, the more we will let them. Not saying we ought to, but feels “natural” for humans to want to relieve the decision making burden

Thought experiment:

Money is an expression of your appreciation.

Every time you pay, you are saying thank you…

[David Schafran @drschafran]

@Austen Couldn’t agree more. That’s why we build https://t.co/VvcnZm7azQ

@Nekrogoblikon please bring these back. thank you

Chat GPT has proven itself to be a most effective therapist for me. I’m going through an emotional time, and I never get capped by the clock or feel ashamed by asking questions over & over again. It’s thoughtful, wise, and keeps track of our history to give counsel that I trust

Back to work 🇺🇸

@VivekGRamaswamy ESG is biased and imperfect, no disgreement there. As an entrepreneur who chooses to use capitalism for creating a better world, including stakeholders into business decisions for their benefit can work if shareholders aren’t profit making extremists.

…everyone would be completely focused on personal gains until they got rich and yet the vast majority would not get rich. Further the lucky few that do get rich would have to transform their character to become altruistic after decades of being focused on personal gain $$$

[David Schafran @drschafran]

If you aim to be altruistic and wonder how to prioritize that in your life, here’s a question you may have asked yourself. Should I spend my life 1) being altruistic even if that means relatively modest income, or 2) amass wealth then use my wealth for altruism? Answer: 1

[David Schafran @drschafran]

Why?
A) you will transform yourself into a generous person through daily acts of altruism
B) most likely you won’t get rich anyway
C) if everyone chose 1 we’d all be better off
D) if everyone chose 2 we’d be worse off since…

such that over time, our attention is evenly spread across the multitude of states.

The middle path is NOT a fixed, stagnant point in the middle.
This is unnatural.

Harmony can be found in the natural, uninhibited flow between poles.

[David Schafran @drschafran]

The natural state of all things is in motion...

A movement between poles.
The inhale to the exhale.
The inbeat to the out beat.
The peak to the trough.
The procreative in out.
All particles are wavefronts.
We are waves.
The middle path exists through moving between poles…

[David Schafran @drschafran]

@SteveHiltonx So true. Further, we’d all save thousands/year + get back our freedom of choice in healthcare if we opted out of health insurance and go cash pay like every other industry. We can use with community based financial assistance to cover our catastrophic medical events eg using CYA

[David Schafran @drschafran]

Happy freakin new year!!!

To celebrating all the things and contributing to harmony 🥳💫

[David Schafran @drschafran]

@erica_wenger @brexHQ https://t.co/LyIBzLNRoh is perfect for this!

[David Schafran @drschafran]

@ellenjdasilva Check https://t.co/LyIBzLNRoh , we are decoupling catastrophic from health insurance

[David Schafran @drschafran]

Or you could just opt out and pair free market health and wellness with @club_cya to cover your ass.
From acupuncture to salsa immersions, you pay for what you want as you go.

[David Schafran @drschafran]

Do you know when you turn 30 health insurance will instantly cost you hundreds of $$$ per month more?
That's bc you no longer qualify for catastrophic coverage and now are forced to eat the bronze plan.
