So you shouldn’t take super high interest loans to buy crap online?
Planning a day trip to the beach with her 2-year-old son last year, she spent $800 on Amazon purchases including a tent, new outfits and a high-end sandcastle kit with the BNPL provider Affirm.
Nvm it was clearly unavoidable.
That report also found Black consumers were 65% more likely to borrow on BNPL than the general population, followed by Hispanic consumers (47%) and female consumers (35%).
Also racist and sexist 🤡
My perspective as a does-anything dev who has gotten sucked into the ai sphere: The sort of ai server they sell is basically just large gpu farms, which require highly competent devs to actually utilize. The vast majority of “we use ai now” project integrations are farsical, and those that aren’t are much better served by cloning an OpenAI large language model and custom training it (and even then you’ll still end up with an LLM that can be ai ‘jailbroken’ just like the model it was trained on).
