I am super-disappointed in my congressional rep for jumping on the "Biden must step down" bandwagon. Who is Adam Smith trying to please? Why is he helping Democrats lose the presidency?

I have to think that the people at the IRS have had this idea in mind for decades and the initial "study" was just writing down all their ideas into a project plan.

People criticize the government for moving slow but the timeline in this article looks lightspeed for any company:

-Funding to develop the system released in 2022
-Initial report to Congress in May 2023
-Pilot project available for 2024 tax filing season.

Time to treat #AI like we treat faerie folk:

-Never give an AI your full name

-Never accept a gift from an AI

-Never eat food that an AI gives you

-Do not mention that you have a newborn child at home or that you know someone who has

-Do not step into an AI ring
