Sorry, do you think nuclear weapons are smashed into every nook and cranny?

1944: Japan says world should have pause on nuclear weapons.

Like, yes, but at this point, your country opting in or out doesn’t change the destination, only who gets there.

Looks like Cox Media forgot to slip a trump some cash.

No.

It’s good to understand why people, even those with whom we disagree, are making the decisions they are making.

I’m sure you would rather those who disagree with you seek to understand why you make the choices you do etc.

“Sure, you made one of the best films of all time but what have you done lately?!?”

But yes. Subsequent films of his were nominated for the Palme d’Or as well as a pair of Cesar awards. As an actor he’s also been nominated for a variety of roles.

La Haine is a critically regarded masterpiece and usually lands in best movies of all time lists. Easily one of the best French movies ever.

It’s really worth a watch.

That read was great for the soul.

when it’s laced with multiple poisons designed to slowly murder everyone

Well that took an abrupt turn.

Believe it or not, there are people who aren’t you who struggle with stuff.

Help a marginalized person with paperwork and you’ll see what I mean.

I take it you’ve never helped someone who struggles with bureaucracy and government forms.

I’ve helped folks with tenancy, tax and applications. Usually, the issue behind the given issues is that everything feels very intimidating and the forms/support document are written in “government-ese”.

If there’s a tool that can help explain this stuff, without a multi hour phone wait, I’m all for it. Not everyone has a resource like myself that they feel comfortable asking. Especially when, there’s a sense of shame in being an adult who cannot navigate these things, yeah, I fully understand and can appreciate why 1/5 would want to ask an LLM for help.

You’d be surprised with the stumbling blocks people face. Just because you know how your deductions etc are supposed to work does not mean most people do. I find it’s really useful to consider things not from my perspective but from the least fortunate.

Like I said, not everyone has the same resources I do…

But this doesn’t seem worse than googling questions and not everyone can spend hours waiting to talk with the Irs/Cra etc.

It just seems that sometimes folks are so determined to be anti LLM that they refuse to see how it could ever help anyone.

The top ways people plan to use AI is to help answer filing questions, find deductions or credits, and review returns for mistakes.

If you can’t afford a professional, these don’t seem particularly unreasonable. I certain wouldn’t recommend feeding all your info into chatgpt etc but for a simple filer, asking an LLM for explanations or possible deductions seems fine.

Not everyone has access to the same resources that I do, so I try to picture it from others perspectives.

I don’t know the organization so can’t speak to the source or their methodology but they do note:

The top ways people plan to use AI is to help answer filing questions, find deductions or credits, and review returns for mistakes.

All of which seem pretty reasonable. If you don’t have the money for a professional, at least checking with something that is right more often than not with some basic questions seems perfectly reasonable.

From the reactions above, it seems people are assuming they’re just asking chatgpt to do all their taxes, which doesn’t appear to be the case.

Neither the article, nor source make a distinction as to whether it’s a general purpose LLM or purpose built software.

So it really depends on the question that the poll asked, which as far as I can tell, is not shared.

I mean, a lot of tax stuff is automated. Mine are pretty straightforward so turboTax handles a huge chunk of the work…

It’s free and using it means I don’t have to support American tech companies.

In both the US and the UK women account for more than 50% of Reddit users.

That is a twist I did not see coming.

Well put!

Even if it doesn’t have a kill switch, refusal to do maintenance, replace parts etc means that America will always have leverage over any “ally” that buys from them

I like it as a more relaxing version of Slay the Spire. I’m not great at either though, so take what I say with more than a few grains of salt. I feel like I can see the combos Monster Train wants more easily than in Slay the Spire, where I sometimes feel like I’m tricking the system OR the Spire is trying to trick me by offering something remoting that doesn’t quite work with my deck.

How about you? Which do you prefer, or do you have a preference?
