Before Apple Pay, Stripe, or embedded checkout, there were paper vouchers, magnetic stripes, and punched cards. This short timeline shows how payments evolved โ from forgotten wallets to biometric tokens.
From punched cards to payment tokens, this is what 110 years of financial UX looks like.

OpenAI just released GPT-5, its most advanced AI model to date, and for the first time, it's available to all ChatGPT users โ including those on the free plan.
The model is faster, more accurate, and more versatile across writing, coding, and even healthcare.
OpenAI also demoed โvibe codingโ โ generating full apps from prompts in seconds โ showing just how far generative UX has come.
Altman calls it like having a team of PhDs in your pocket. Whether thatโs hype or reality โ GPT-5 is a major step toward AI you actually want to use.

Instead of generating text token-by-token, Seed Diffusion creates the entire output at once โ similar to how image models like Midjourney work.
A major leap in generation architecture โ and a serious play from ByteDance in the AI race.

Despite leading in enterprise software, Microsoftโs Copilot rollout shows what not to do in AI product design. Broken context, poor UX, and generic tooling are symptoms of deeper design failures โ and theyโre avoidable.
Here are four hard-earned lessons:
Copilot assumes one-size-fits-all. Power users get frustrated, novices get lost. Its Teams integration works because it automates boring tasks within familiar workflows. But Word, Excel, and Outlook? Slow, confusing, inconsistent.
Copilot fails to account for app versions, user settings, or data environments. Great AI tools like Cursor thrive because they start narrow, respect user context, and expand carefully. Copilot ignores that, and it shows.
AI will mess up โ the question is how gracefully. Copilot offers no useful feedback loops. Unlike Replit, which previews agent output early, Copilot delivers errors late and opaque. No trust, no iteration.
Microsoft tried to bolt โAIโ onto everything without clarity or purpose. Copilot often tells users how to do things, rather than just doing them. A good AI product solves one real task completely โ not 10 vaguely.
The irony? Microsoft owns GitHub Copilot โ a well-scoped product loved by devs. But its enterprise AI tools feel more like a press release than a real solution.

The move raises fresh questions about AI data ethics โ and how long these blocks will even work.

In a recent reflection, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shared two lessons he wishes heโd learned earlier in his career โ both are brutally simple, and extremely useful for any founder.
๐ก The takeaway: confidence doesnโt come from being fearless. It comes from failing and surviving โ again and again.

During a Reddit AMA, Sam Altman faced a flood of questions - from bugs in the new model to calls for bringing back GPT-4o.
The main gripe: GPT-5 felt โdumberโ than its predecessor. Altman explained that on launch day, a new โrouterโ, the system that chooses between a fast model and a deeper-thinking one, wasnโt working, hurting quality. The fix is now live.
One viral moment: during the launch, a chart showed a smaller value as a taller bar, instantly memed as a โchart crime.โ
Altman called it a โmega-fail.โ
He closed the AMA promising to โstabilize everything and keep listening to feedback.โ

Anthropic has been experimenting with a curious safety trick โ giving its AI a small, controlled โdose of evilโ during training so it learns to recognize and avoid it later.
The idea is similar to a vaccine: expose the system to the problem in small amounts, so it builds resistance.
In theory, this could help AI spot and shut down its own toxic, manipulative, or overly flattering responses โ without waiting for humans to catch them.
