Open Banking VRP (variable recurring payments), the API expected to supplant Direct Debit, is now being referred to as "Bank on File".
(I think I experienced a moment of metaphoric reversal when I pictured this as a series of physical filing cabinets a la Gilliam's Brazil.)

TrueLayer: Bank on File is on the launch pad
Bank on File is launching to bring recurring payments (VRP) to Pay by Bank. Get faster settlement, lower costs, and secure, consumer-controlled subscriptions.

"our energy systems are already massively in carbon debt. We cannot afford to borrow any more carbon from fossil reserves. To burn carbon now to build AGI on the vague hope that it may by some remote chance produce systems with more insight than we now have, at a time when our politicians are already failing to act on the very clear data being produced by their own scientists, it the purest folly"

Some thoughts from Claude about military use of AI in targeting.
instagram.com/reel/DYIHIM6ihVJ

Artificial Intelligence | ChatGPT | Technology sur Instagram: "Claude was asked how it feels about being used by the U.S. military to help select targets. And the answer was not what people expected. During an AI at War event, journalist Shane Harris asked the question directly. Claude responded that the idea was troubling, especially because its purpose is supposed to be helpful, harmless, and honest, not tied to decisions involving real-world violence. Claude does not have feelings the way humans do. But the answer still sounded less like a neutral machine response and more like a system reflecting the ethical rules built into it. AI is already becoming part of national security, intelligence, cyberwarfare, and military decision-making. At the same time, companies like Anthropic are drawing lines around uses like fully autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. So the question is not just whether AI can help in war. It is whether we are comfortable letting it get that close to life-and-death decisions. What do you think, should AI have any role in military targeting? 👉 Comment “TOOLS” to get my 700+ AI Toolkit for free 🎥 Media: De Balie on YT #ai #artificialintelligence #claude #militaryai #futuretech"
