TaxAct fucking sucks. Just helped my mom file the most basic return and they were all like "oh it's free!" up until it was time to actually file and then: "aaaactually how about you give us $100" 🖕

AI folks, or at very least Sam Altman, claim to be aiming at and close to a tech that can do most economically valuable work.

Taken at face value, that's kinda terrifying, no?

We don't seem to have a good track record as a species for taking care of non-economically valuable members.
