VISA: “We wont let adults engage in consensual adult activities via our payment network becuase some religious nutjob somewhere might complain about it, but we’re gonna hand over our network to AI so it can spend all your and our money because we’re customer first”
also just a reminder there was a big password breach with instagram/meta/whatever because people asked an AI agent to give them the passwords for famous peoples accounts.
I cant wait for something similar happening on VISA, someone prompt bombing to get the AI to charge a random account and people melting down as 10s of thousands of dollars of charges appear out of no where.
Do you mean you can’t buy weed in places where it’s been only decriminalized but not fully legalized? Decriminalized means it’s still illegal but the government just decided to stop enforcing the law. It’s not actually the same as legalization, and yeah it results in all kinds of stupid situations. And yeah, a big company isn’t going to engage in something that’s technically illegal even if the law won’t be enforced.
No I mean fully legalized states. No bank in the US will work with a dispensary, so if you live here and are buying weed with one, it’s because they’re exploiting a loophole where you’re not buying weed with a Visa card, you’re “withdrawing cash”. Getting change in cash is a tell-tale sign that this is what they’re doing.
I’m pretty sure it’s still a federal crime in the US.
Here in the True North Strong and Free, weed is legalized at all levels of government and I can confirm that I can indeed buy weed with a Visa card. I can even buy it online and have it delivered to my door by the postal service. That got me through the pandemic.
Sorry your country kinda sucks about this, but it’s not really a credit card thing. CC companies suck for many reasons, but this isn’t one of them.

That’s misleading, accounts have been taken over but passwords have not been leaked (how would that even be possible?)

You can’t buy weed with a Visa card, either, even in places where it’s legal.
I buy weed with a Visa card all the time.

its still illegal federally, and fed laws are above state laws.
Which is why.

They got the ai agent to send the password reset onetime code to a new address that they supplied through the chat.
Effectively hijacking the pw reset and its safeguard. The users password did not need to be known
I was gonna say, if they knew their users’ passwords, then they already had bigger problems.
Lets get mastercard in on this as well and then we’re almost halfway to economic collapse
They already are. And paypal, stripe, etc. They are all in an “arms race” to become the preferred AI shopping payment system.
fuck yeah, burn it all down.
This money thing was overrated anyway.
