Weird how our AI-boosting government is killing the IRS's free tax filing tool, only for the company who spent $3,720,000 on lobbying last year to sign a big AI integration deal for their tax software. Probably a coincidence.
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.

Could we be getting an ELECTION for Christmas?

Well, the Liberals still need one more “yes” vote to avoid that (or two abstentions), making the vote that’s taking place in two hours a real nail-biter.

Here’s where things stand right now, with a little help from @supriya.bsky.social:

You're welcome. And absolutely, if you're getting this sort of predatory slop, you're not to blame, the scammers are. They're trying to take the aspirations of writers to have their stories widely read, using them as leverage to extract money most writers can ill afford. The scammers suck, not you!
I love that you share this sort of thing, though, because it helps to show that slop is not appearing in mail boxes due to any flaw on the part of the recipient. Thank you!

Of course I was conflicted when I first realized my highly intelligent genius daughter was also a fiendishly cunning serial killer, but eventually I decided it is my responsibility as a parent to raise the best child I can and it is the responsibility of the FBI to capture her.

My friend Moni (an avid figure skating + #StarTrek fan) just told me that German figure skater Katharina Witt used a version of the "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" main theme during the 1982 World Championships, 2 years before the film even debuted in the GDR (DDR):

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

I got an actual "Your silence on this subject is deafening" message this AM, so, super-quick: Nobody here owes anyone commentary about anything. This is a public park. It's full of interesting people. We hang out here, make friends, and chat, and then we leave to do whatever it is we do. That's it!
