Imagining the future of banking with agentic AI

Adapting to new and emerging technologies like agentic AI is essential for an organization’s survival, says Murli Buluswar, head of US personal banking analytics at Citi. “A company’s ability to adopt new technical capabilities and rearchitect how their firm operates is going to make the difference between the firms that succeed and those that get left behind,” says Buluswar. “Your people and your firm must recognize that how they go about their work is going to be meaningfully different.” The

‘Tron: Ares’ Star Says Her Character Reveals a Hard Truth About AI and Humans

Even in the opening moments of the Tron: Ares trailer, the story wastes no time in putting humanity’s future with artificial intelligence into jeopardy. And while lots of fans are wondering what kind of performance we’re going to get out of Jared Leto in the titular role of Ares in the Nine Inch Nails-scored sci-fi sequel, fellow cast member Jodie Turner-Smith has a lot to say about how her character is aimed to provoke audiences to think hard about the realities of an AI-filled future.

Will Smith Posts Bizarre New AI-Generated Concert Video

Last week, "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star Will Smith — himself the victim of a gross AI meme about slurping spaghetti — showed the world that he's not so fresh anymore when his team used AI to add rapturous fans to concert footage of his "Based on a True Story" comeback tour. Online observers quickly noticed that the AI had gone haywire, adding demonic-looking fans with garbled signs praising the 56-year-old rapper-actor that stood in clear contrast to the wilted-looking crowd visible in actual

Spacing Over Cards

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-24 07:49:11

This post is a rationalisation of “I don’t like cards”. I say that in most cases where cards are used, they don’t need to be used. Specifically, they take space, they let you skip gestalt principles and be lazy and undisciplined, and being so easy to implement they are often used by developers. To multiply the effect, you can put a card into a card, and it seems so hard not to do so. We recognise patterns.

Bi-directional accountability: A leadership shift most organizations avoid

news.ycombinator.com Al Newkirk 2025-10-21 01:52:42

Most organizations enforce one-way accountability. The CBC framework flips that, making commitments mutual, visible, and enforceable. In CBC, ambiguity is a leadership failure, and credibility comes from delivering results — not titles. When things go wrong, it’s easy to point down the org chart, much harder to look up. In most organizations, accountability flows one way. Teams are held to deadlines, deliverables, and performance metrics, while leaders enjoy a looser standard — insulated by hi

Most people with type 1 diabetes inject insulin to prevent their blood sugar levels from getting too high. However, if their blood sugar gets too low, it can lead to confusion, seizures, and even death. To combat this hypoglycemia, some patients carry syringes of glucagon, a hormone that stimulates release of glucose.

It’s the sort of high-touch endeavor that venture capitalists typically avoid. So how has Mitti managed to raise funding from its investors? In short: partnerships.
