I've been thinking about how you need to jump through so many hoops to spend your own money; sign into this, authenticate, get the code. But someone who probably isn't even in this country just spent a bunch of my money on fucking compute at an AI company. Like, how? What's the point of all this shit if someone can backchannel it so easily?
It's balls, isn't it?! Along with the whole a company can take your money in seconds, but take weeks to give it back if they have to. So shit. Hopefully this issue gets sorted for you quickly!
And I have to wait for the transactions to go through before they can be disputed. I got on that shit as soon as I saw the notification but I need to wait for the money to leave my account first. What if they say no because it was spent on fucking AI and there is no way to prove I spent thatoney myself since you have nothing to show for that kind of spend?
