![]() When I first heard about its concept-five couples meet up in San Diego (I think?) after one of them has issued a proposal ultimatum with the goal of A) meeting someone new and marrying them, B) getting engaged to their original partner, or C) breaking up and going home solo-I made all the requisite lesbian U-Haul jokes, which I am, ahem, allowed to make. This is emphatically not the case in The Ultimatum: Queer Love, a brand-new, all-queer reality show now on Netflix. But for a long time, that show was the exception to the rule, with said rule being blond girls named Katie sharing their hobbies with tall guys named Josh.) (Not always: I devoured the all-pansexual season of Are You The One? that aired in 2019 just like every other queer I know. That’s in part because the proceedings always seem so stilted and awkward and sponsored by cheesy hotel brands, but also because.the people on said reality shows are usually cis and straight. To be clear, I’m not remotely above it-I mean, I watch RHONJ and occasionally Selling Sunset-but the idea of watching people couple up on television has always bored me. ![]() I know this is grounds for culture-writer expulsion, but I’m not that much of a reality TV person. Goodbye to the days of trying to save and finding it necessary to ‘dip in to your savings’ for tonight's dinner.Ī creditor's dream and a spendthrift's nightmare?

By analysing your everyday transactions, the AI technology learns about your income and spending pattern and uses this knowledge to withdraw the right amount for you. Small amounts are automatically withdrawn to save without us consciously working out this months budget. The idea is to connect to your bank account where the setup process is easy and a lot more appealing than the forms of setting up a savings account. Companies like Plum and Chip have made trying to save simple, quick and inattentively, plus saving us all the earache from the family is appreciated. The years of mums and dads keeping on to get their children to save rather than spend has come to an end. The future of savings has been served to us on a very easy, convenient and appreciated platter from the app world. The app will be using ‘liveness detection’ avoiding photos being used to unlock the barrier. It’s not only the borderline psychotic ex we can be sure will no longer access our online banking, but the many fraudsters who dedicate their time to steal our hard earned cash. ![]() Users will soon be authenticated by who they are rather than what they know. Facial Recognition will help us keep our pennies safe by combating fraud. Looks like it’s time to drop the plastic and pick up a second job.įintech drifting into the AI world doesn’t just keep the tech-savvy, convenience-seeking millennials happy, it’s easing the mind of the fraud conscious too. The current AI technologies don’t often provide reasoning behind how they reach their decision, but it won’t be long before it improves and we’ll see a lot more of it than perhaps we’d desire. After all, why not have today what we can pay for tomorrow?Ĭompanies who offer credit or loans will soon be using AI to predict customers worthiness based on their past behaviour. The #treatyourself trend definitely treats you, and not the abused piece of plastic we put it on. ![]() Mix fintech with emerging tech’s favourite AI, and what do we have? Alarm bells ringing in the heads of those with more debt on the credit card than money in the bank.Ĭredit-worthiness has always been an issue for those of us who purchase with our hearts rather than our heads. ![]() FinTech is the abbreviation bounced around for Financial Technology and refers to all innovative technology in both personal and commercial finance. ![]()
