Except that apparently the article is full of bullshit and the author is being dragged publically for the inaccuracy and the fact that she is taking money from the same groups. There may be a lawsuit against Wired being filed as well, based on what I’m reading.

Ok, and? Seems like a big yawn to me, not a scoop. “Politicians work within existing guidelines to do politics.”
Are those guidelines a good thing? Of course not, but it’s pretty stupid to call this out as something unusual.

I think it's more accurate to say AI is providing financial value, and solving a problem created by Trump's 2017 changes to the tax code.
A Problem ‘AI’ Does Solve: Section 174 of the U.S. Tax Code

So, my nerdlings are out of the house now. We had All The Classics in the house but the only ones that I think got traction were the Dragonsinger Pern books.
Meanwhile, we read Leviathan, Larklight, the Incorrigibles, Theodosia and Rick Riordan. The new stuff is pretty darned good.
