OpenAI tests in-chat payment checkout system
OpenAI is planning to integrate a payment checkout system into ChatGPT in a bid to boost revenues, according to the Financial Times. 0 This content has been selected, created and edited by the Finextra editorial team based upon its relevance and interest to our community. The feature is currently being tested with Shopify, among others, as a way to let OpenAI take a commission on sales made through the chatbot. OpenAI and Shopify already work together on boosting product discovery, but ChatGPT links to external retailers for transactions. Having pumped billions of dollars into their products, AI firms are working hard on monetising the services. This week, Anthropic launched a tool to help finance professionals analyse markets, conduct research, and make investment decisions with its Claude models.

I thought I was a drama queen because of how much I was affected by things that happened to other people... but then I discovered I had this little-known condition - and it's far more common than you'd think
Standing at a supermarket checkout, Juliet Owen-Nuttall felt a rising panic. Her heart was racing; she felt nauseous and weak to the point of needing to lean against the conveyor belt. But none of these symptoms occurred as a result of something that was happening to her. Instead, she found herself on the verge of a full-blown panic attack because the payment card belonging to the woman at the till, a stranger, had been declined.

Darts fans hail ‘greatest thing I've ever seen' as star lands extremely rare triple-bullseye checkout
THE Modus Super Series has provided darts fans with the fix they needed over the last few days. And it has certainly not disappointed after a Conan Whitehead landed an epic nine-darter. 2 However, that may have now been topped by Thomas Banks after he landed a remarkable 150 checkout... with THREE bulls. Banks was up against Steve Plumstead in a Group C clash with the score 1-1. Plumstead, 30, had just hit 133 at the board to bring his score down from 273 to 140. Banks had 150 to hit or risk his rival being able to checkout. And the 18-year-old prodigy, tipped to follow Luke Littler to the top of the darts world, made his three throws count. The cameraman had zoomed in on treble 19, expecting him to aim there. However, Banks instead went straight for the bull. That set him on a path to needing two more. And he duly delivered to move 2-1 ahead in the match, turning to the camera with his arms raised out either side of him. PDC stage official Owen Binks was stunned at the trip. Taking to social media, he said: "Refereed nearly 6000 matches for this business and that is arguably the greatest thing I've seen!! "TAKE A BOW THOMAS BANKS!!!" Other fans joined the chorus of applause for The Bulldog. One fan said: "Top arrows. Don't think I've ever seen that before." A second said: "Beautiful that." Another said: "There you go, this lad has it. Brilliant darts, just take a bow right now Thomas." A fourth added: "Brilliant checkout 150." Banks used the momentum of the 150 to win the match 4-1, which had followed a run of four defeats on the spin at the Super Series. He won the series last year, in similar fashion to Littler who had won it on his route to the PDC before eventually winning the World Championship. List of all-time Darts World Champions BELOW is a list of darts world champions by year. The list does not include winners from the pre-Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) era or BDO world champions. That means Raymond van Barneveld, for example, is only listed once - Barney also won four BDO titles - and none of Eric Bristow's five BDO titles are included. 1994 - Dennis Priestley 1995 - Phil Taylor 1996 - Phil Taylor (2) 1997 - Phil Taylor (3) 1998 - Phil Taylor (4) 1999 - Phil Taylor (5) 2000 - Phil Taylor (6) 2001 - Phil Taylor (7) 2002 - Phil Taylor (8) 2003 - John Part 2004 - Phil Taylor (9) 2005 - Phil Taylor (10) 2006 - Phil Taylor (11) 2007 - Raymond van Barneveld 2008 - John Part (2) 2009 - Phil Taylor (12) 2010 - Phil Taylor (13) 2011 - Adrian Lewis 2012 - Adrian Lewis (2) 2013 - Phil Taylor (14) 2014 - Michael van Gerwen 2015 - Gary Anderson 2016 - Gary Anderson (2) 2017 - Michael van Gerwen (2) 2018 - Rob Cross 2019 - Michael van Gerwen (3) 2020 - Peter Wright 2021 - Gerwyn Price 2022 - Peter Wright (2) 2023 - Michael Smith 2024 - Luke Humphries 2025 - Luke Littler Most World Titles 14 - Phil Taylor 3 - Michael van Gerwen 2 - John Part, Adrian Lewis, Gary Anderson, Peter Wright 1 - Dennis Priestley, Raymond van Barneveld, Rob Cross, Gerwyn Price, Michael Smith, Luke Humphries, Luke Littler

Japan ponders cashless options as banknotes fade
Paper money is losing its appeal, but the country continues to lag in the global shift to cashless payments. One surprising obstacle: shoppers face too many options at checkout.
