    Klarna’s long-awaited IPO was expected early this year after the company filed its prospectus in March.

    This is why it is a “success” to get rid of 40% of the company. Gotta pump those numbers for the IPO. Doesn’t matter if the company is fucked in the long run and need to rehire later.

        I only know of them from this and from their predatory loans. So yes, please go bankrupt in a blaze of AI fueled stupidity.

          They’re very successful in germany. Their businessmodel is leading vulnerable people ibto lifelong debt by helping them accumulate crippling debt for overpriced luxury items. There are publicly funded documentaries about the system and people who suffer from it. It is horrible.

    Eww, that’s a reason to never use their service! AI is a hallucination engine, how very dare they replace capable people. I always wondered why I saw so many videos sponsored by Klarna…They are fucking shit and need as much paid for ‘positive press’ as possible.

      “Hallucination” is marketing to make the fact that llms are unreliable sound cool.
