This already happens. The bots aren't inline as chat messages, but they're contextually aware ads like 'get an uber!'

I strongly second this. I got into the habit of consuming lots of caffeine and assuming my anxious state was baseline. Aggressively cutting out coffee was a really interesting and useful experience.

To quell your suspicion you could download the driver app and take a look at the surge map. The surge values aren't a secret.

No, you as an individual don't 'need' to do that. What does 'need' even mean? Require to survive? Making societally optimal decisions is a crazy burden to try to put on a single person. As single entities we don&#x2
