Anyone worth their salt knows that Paypal stopped being innovative in about the year 1998. It’s always about a decade behind the times, and for me, as a vendor who uses Paypal, I find it frustrating that it lacks even the most basic reporting tools. In short, it sucks, which is why the stock is the same price it was SEVEN YEARS (and $20 trillion in Fed “support”) ago. PYPL blows.
It was thus amusing, in a gallows humor kind of way, to see that Paypal has smeared AI crap all over its home page. I’d vastly prefer they announce exciting new reporting tools that are compatible with this century, but, no, instead, they have NVDA envy and have decided to pretend to be an AI company now.
And, in keeping with following the mores of Silicon Valley culture, they have the Tall White Guy In a Spartan Hallway That Doesn’t Exist, going yammer yammer yammer about whatever the fuck it is he wants you to think.
I’ll say one thing, though. Scrolling through the so-called AI information, they’ve at least nailed one corporate mandate: pandering galore! These guys are going to give Bank of America a run for their money in THAT department.
