My car hit a large screw and it caused a flat tire. The tire had to be replaced which costs money. I turned the screw into an art piece. Buy this one of a kind art piece here, and help me recoup the costs of the flat tire. It's like an NFT but in 3D.

ChatGPT produced a near-perfect letter in less time than I did in writing the prompt. I was stunned not by ChatGPT (I already played with it), but by the weight that I felt lifted off my shoulders. Maybe I could teach my mom to use ChatGPT? Maybe it doesn't have to be this hard?.

Anyway, my mom asked me to write a letter this week. I've been dragging my feet on it for days (see above re: anxiety). Then I thought - why not ask ChatGPT to do it?.

It's hard to see your parents so vulnerable. Last time I visited, they had to find a plumber – I felt such deep anxiety. In my perfect English, I could solve it ASAP, I could get the better deal. But there's only so much I can do. I can't be there for them all the time.

From customer service reps to landlords, I’ve heard people speak down to my parents, not honor their asks, or get frustrated that my parents aren’t explaining themselves in perfect English. Or just plainly be rude and dismissive.

. like when my dad finally got his dream job (and one that finally paid his market wage because he felt like he couldn't negotiate his entire career) and had to do performance reviews for the first time, I sat down and wrote them with him.

Because English isn't my parents' first language, I’ve been helping them speak and negotiate on their behalf for as long as I can remember.

Everyone is probably over ChatGPT and has seen all the cute/fun/awe-inspiring applications of it, but I want to share a moment today where the tool kind of healed me.

So @bridgemoneyapp totally re-thought financial services, moving beyond traditional transacting, saving, and investing, and built a platform that enabled their consumers to *earn* money. 💵👏💵👏💵👏 5/n.

The people that we cared about were primarily using pre-paid cards and other predatory financial services to do simple activities like accessing a paycheck and paying for things. And how do we think in first principles about what they *actually* need? 4/n.

When I met @ljanak in 2019, it was clear that he had different, nuanced perspective on how to support people/communities that were left out of wealth building – and the commitment. 3/n.
