Is BAU taking over your life?
Although you have a plan and the talent and the best intentions, the gravitational pull of BAU, not just the work itself but the way the work is done, pulls you right in.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Change in payments is only getting started
With increasing payments options for consumers, the winner will be the option that gives minimum friction, maximum fraud protection and as close to universal acceptance as possible.
