The IRS is ALREADY grossly understaffed. Our budget (13B) is smaller than USAIDs (71B) was. We serve every taxpayer. We process all returns. We assist with filing and corrections. We cannot afford to lose 1 person.

Don't trust consumer-facing "AI" for anything
BBC just released damning research on AI assistants' news accuracy.
Results: 51% of AI responses had significant issues. 19% introduced errors when citing BBC. 13% misquoted or made up BBC content entirely. 🤐🤐

What in the world? The purple frog (Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis), also known as the pig-nosed frog, might be spotted along India’s Western Ghats mountains. It spends most of its time burrowed underground, typically near a stream or a pond.
