Aplazo is using buy now, pay later as a stepping stone to financial ubiquity in Mexico
Buy now, pay later services have become so ubiquitous that BNPL may as well just be another way to say "debt." But in Mexico, where BNPL platform Aplazo operates, a large underbanked population makes BNPL more like an alternative to cash. To the end users, Aplazo offers a virtual card that lets them buy now and pay later in many stores. While BNPL is often associated with online merchants, e-commerce is still limited in Mexico, and Aplazo says that in-store transactions account for more than half of its business.

Anthropic now lets kids use its AI tech -- within limits
AI startup Anthropic is changing its policies to allow minors to use its generative AI systems -- in certain circumstances, at least. Announced in a post on the company's official blog Friday, Anthropic will begin letting teens and preteens use third-party apps (but not its own apps, necessarily) powered by its AI models so long as the developers of those apps implement specific safety features and disclose to users which Anthropic technologies they're leveraging. In a support article, Anthropic lists several safety measures devs creating AI-powered apps for minors should include, like age verification systems, content moderation and filtering and educational resources on "safe and responsible" AI use for minors.
