After Zelle's rollout I have zero trust in Bank's ability to combat fraud in a consumer friendly matter unless they're required by laws with teeth to do so.

There is no way in hell I'd trust this service based on anything I've seen so far.

This is the least surprising thing I've seen OpenAI do.


See, what you need to do is get a job on that team, and sell the ability to have the team overlook the persons case... call it plsfixmyfix.com


Then, the manager of that team has their startup: plsfixmyfixer.com


Don't you threaten me with a good time.
