While the debate rages on about whether the three colors of candy corn taste different, at the other end of the tech spectrum, lenders are weeding out unused or out-of-date technology, reviewing new tools, all the while looking at bad developments in the IT world. (Speaking of tools, Ben Teerlink, Founder/CEO, MMI, will be interviewed today at 11AM PT on the L1 show.) AI companies are paying people to fold laundry in front of robots so they can learn to do household chores. It’s disappointing that we may never see a robot get tangled in a fitted sheet. Robots and automatic machines aren’t new (the French were cutting edge 250 years ago). But now Americans, including potential borrowers, are losing millions to scammers at crypto ATMs. Crypto scams drew a lot of people who wanted to make money and didn’t care about victims. They abound. Here’s how companies profit.

(Today’s podcast can be found here and this week’s are sponsored by Floify, an industry-leading point of sale platform. With Floify’s new Dynamic AI feature, lenders can modify applications with no coding required and rely on AI to autofill key application fields, allowing borrowers to fill out only a few fields relevant to their needs. Hear Figure’s Anthony Stratis & West Capital Lending’s Arthur Greenbaum discussing the power of partnership, and why they’re excited about Figure’s new AI-powered DSCR platform.)
