futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-16 17:05:26

Of all the startups that have come and gone, the personal finance company Klarna might be one of the best bellwethers for the finance industry overall. Specializing in "buy now pay later" microloans — tiny cash advances for purchases that don't need to go through a bank — Klarna hit app stores at a time when US consumer debt was climbing toward a record high. Now a giant of the personal finance landscape, the billion-dollar company recently reported a jaw dropping 17 percent default rate on its

The Download: unnerving AI avatars, and Trump’s climate gift to China

—Rhiannon Williams Earlier this summer, I visited the AI company Synthesia to give it what it needed to create a hyperrealistic AI-generated avatar of me. The company’s avatars are a decent barometer of just how dizzying progress has been in AI over the past few years, so I was curious just how accurately its latest AI model, introduced last month, could replicate me. I found my avatar as unnerving as it is technically impressive. It’s slick enough to pass as a high-definition recording of a
