        The funny thing is AI is not really mentioned in the rest of the article. I don’t think any of the new technology being introduced has anything to do with AI.

        I guess “AI” is just a synonym for “new stuff” now.

    Is there an AI technology that would help me not roll my eyes every time I hear AI? Can’t wait to add this to the garbage pile of popped bubbles next to NFT, blockchain and metaverse.

    And I’m saying that as somebody who uses LLMs for work regularly, it is a useful tool, but the absolute delusional bullshit hype that imagines uses beyond its capabilities is exhausting.

  • Wow we really are marching right to towards a centralised digital currency with no privacy and no actually ownership.

    Remember back in the day when owning stock meant u owned the actually stocks. Well now u own the right to the stocks but if the platform ur trading on goes under welp out of luck guess u don’t actually own them.

    You will own nothing and be happy.

    Apple Pay/Google Pay already exists though?? What’s new?

    The last credit card I got, it took me like a month or two to bother unpacking the physical card since right after signup I could already add the virtual card to Apple Pay through the bank app and I just used that.

    Am I missing something or is this the most vaguely written description? I don’t get it. Something biometric is all I got out of it

    Within a decade, you’ll likely access all of your cards with one credential and choose which payment method you’d like to use. That includes not just credit and debit cards, but also buy now, pay later options and direct payments from your bank account.

    Visa is rolling out technology that will allow you to tap your card on your smart device to add it to your wallet. You’ll also be able to tap your card to your phone to confirm a transaction without needing to input any additional information.
