this sounds like a great idea. luckily there are no extremely serious consequences to providing false information to the Internal Revenue Service
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Saw a (promoted. because ofc) post on Linkedin today that scoffed at studios who state they don't use genAI, saying 'you're telling me concept artists aren't using it for inspiration? I don't believe it'.
Hi. It's me, game concept artist. I don't use genAI & I never will, hope that clears things up👍

“We’re waiting for the courts to decide what is fair use and not" Yeah, that's not how any of this works.
People get to choose what games to support with their limited time & money. I won't waste mine on any that knowingly use tech designed to replace creatives, that's all there is to it 🤷‍♀️
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Every time you use AI slop in your game, even as a placeholder, even if it's supposed to be temporary, you're helping to destroy the video game industry little by little.

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

"Why don't people support welfare programs?"

Racism. More specifically, anti-Blackness.

White folks asked about who welfare serves overestimate the number of Black people on welfare. Not only that, but just the mere THOUGHT of who welfare supports led less white people to support it. #blacksky

Trump just showed his hand and came up with half the money for SNAP. The other half is there. Don't fold. You're gonna get fucked. AGAIN. Anyone who votes to reopen the government now, as the administration is coming apart and eating shit in the press and in the polls is trying to save Trump
This is pathetic - to give in over "a promised vote" - but this is what they were always going to do.

"A handful of Democrats will supply some eight votes for a new short-term CR in exchange for a promised vote on the ACA tax credits."

As of today, for the first time since moving to the U.S. in 2008, and for the first time in my life - despite having lived in several foreign countries - I am carrying my Green Card on me, in the hope to prevent a hours/days/weeks detainment by ICE, should I be stopped by them. #LivingInTrumpland

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence

I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥
#SaveSpeech

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass.

It NEEDS mass pushback.
🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

Why are these accounts here? They are quote farming. They WANT you to post things like "Fuck you ICE!!!" and "Trump can suck my dick!!!"

That gives them fun little posts for Fox News to demonstrate the "angry left."

DO NOT give them what they want. Block and be done.

Federal immigration agents have detained an alarming number of U.S. citizens, demonstrating their widespread failure to respect basic protections against wrongful seizures.

“Any one of us could be next,” said Cody Wofsy, Deputy Director of our Immigrants' Rights Project.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

On that note, even if they WERE kids? Hold them accountable too. That's what you're supposed to do as the adult in the room. You correct them. You show them what is and is NOT acceptable. Otherwise they become adults who do this shit.
