Okay, top three banks in the US.. Chase requires MFA, but still allows SMS, which can be broken easily with SIM swapping. BoA and Wells Fargo MFA can be completely disabled, which is how many people likely have their accounts set up. Until

Bard isn't a model, it's a product. Bard was launched with PaLM originally, the same model that the one employee claimed was sentient. At Google I/O they announced PaLM2 and switched over to Bard being backed by it, while als
