About 86.5 million people used BNPL in 2024, according to Capital One's research. But the one thing BNPL couldn't do was improve your credit. Although some of Affirm's plans do report to Experian and TransUnion, most BNPL services don't report on-time payments to credit bureaus. However, that could change later this year. FICO, one of the

There are no new ideas in AI only new datasets

Most people know that AI has made unbelievable progress over the last fifteen years– especially in the last five. It might feel like that progress is *inevitable* – although large paradigm-shift-level breakthroughs are uncommon, we march on anyway through a stream of slow & steady progress. In fact, some researchers have recently declared a “Moore’s Law for AI” where the computer’s ability to do certain things (in this case, certain types of coding tasks) increases exponentially with time: the

Apple might ditch internal AI efforts for Siri revamp, use OpenAI or Anthropic instead

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-08-24 09:20:50

Apple is in talks with Anthropic and OpenAI to power the revamped version of Siri, potentially sidelining its own in-house AI models in the process. Here are the details. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has asked both OpenAI and Anthropic to train customized versions of their large language models that could run on Apple’s Private Cloud Compute infrastructure. Rather than relying on third-party cloud platforms like AWS or Azure, these models would live on servers powered by Apple s

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-24 09:24:45

Super Mario Maker 2 was released six years ago this past Saturday. While Nintendo didn't do a whole lot to mark the occasion, one of the game's most dedicated players sure did. DSteves hit a remarkable milestone by becoming the first to clear 1 million SMM2 levels. The Twitch and YouTube streamer had hoped to reach that point by the game's sixth anniversary and got there toward the end of a 18-hour marathon .
