Must be an interesting audit.
IRS agent: so you put down that you received a “Cincinnati Steamer” as part of your compensation for employing this vendor.
Dude: that’s right
IRS agent: please describe what goes into a Cincinnati Steamer so I can assign it to a category or categories. Also do you happen to have her W2s and social security number?
Dude: sure, and no I don’t have her paperwork. Surprisingly she didn’t share it with me.

I imagine what is going on is the answers on the multiple choice questions weren’t random and you were picking up on the pattern then retroconing a justification. Say for example
- A. 12
- B. 14
- C. 11
- D. 68
You threw out D right away because it was much different and argued that it had to be A or C because being off by one is an easy mistake. Now it’s just a question if even or odd, so you looked for a divide by 2. If found you went odd, if you found a multiple by 2 you went even.
Added to this you probably noticed a pattern. If C was the correct answer the next one was always A, etc.
If you aren’t convinced that its just really good test taking ability it would be pretty easy to use an AI and make it quiz you.

Well on the bright side I am sure this person has a bunch of new followers on X. Granted most of them are trying to build a criminal case against him for further profoundly dumb posts but still. All publicity is good publicity

They thought about it but were too afraid of the IRS to do it.

It used to be tax deductable to bribe government officials of foreign governments.
Unrelated, if you get bribed in time with a hooker do you report it based on what she charges or fair market rate or is there a set amount? I feel like someone at the IRS sat down and came up with an answer to this.

I wonder when they will go all Boeing and GE. The day when all they will have left is the ability to buy their own stock and lobby from the government for free money. Imagine the platonic peak form of health insurance. Processing no claims whatsoever.

Funny picture, not accurate, but pretty funny. The US is the only developed nation with a life expectancy going down. Hovering around a low established in 1996. Canada on the other hand continues to increase with a tiny rate of growth dip during the worse of Covid. Worse pandemic in its history and all she gets it from it was people were living longer each year at a slower rate.

The proceeding was a paid message brought to you by Atena.
Atena, the last time we paid out was 1998 and we fired the person who did that so it won’t happen again.

Some insurance group put up a billboard on the route I use to go to work telling us how we all suffer from insurance fraud.
Each and every time I went past it I would try to imagine how much I would have to hate a person in order to side with the enemy against them. No saint and I never pretended to be one but I still wouldn’t do that.

One idea I had was to randomly put stuff into content that might pay off later. Write random sentences that say things like “saw Tom today, people are saying his brother is the chosen one.” Or “lot of traffic today, heard it was because this guy was doing crazy miracles and declared himself king”.
Tactius is going to be read forever because he interviewed a Christian one time and wrote one sentence.
- Comment on In our post-AI era, is job security strictly mythical? Or How to believe in careers as a concept worth doing? 6 months ago:
multiple ongoing projects that hope to change the existing construction processes enough that android-style robots won’t be necessary. 3d printing houses, for example.
Never going to happen in the US or Canada. Oh sure the rest of the world will but not those two countries. The culture of construction work can’t adapt. It’s amazing to me when I see stuff go up in South East Asia vs the US/Canada.
South East Asia: standardized parts, 3 shifts, army of workers, about half of which are women, things just move.
US/Canada: custom everything nothing connects right, 1 shift, all large white males, things take forever.

I don’t agree. It takes effort and you will need to balance tradeoffs but employment for life with one employer is possible.

4 Ps.
Pimps: operators of the gray and black market. Immune to automation since companies that can hire developers don’t want to be involved.
Prostitutes: people who provide a service that clients do not want automated.
Professionals: highly educated, very skilled. Automation just makes them go faster.
Project Managers: people who deal with the gestalt of legal/political/technical/institutional debt. They can’t be replaced since you can’t yell at an AI and expect them to just “fix it already”.
There is overlap. Live music and much of the service industry. But as a general rule you pick one of the four and you should be fine.
It’s interesting that you say no one could have predicted this. Labor saving devices are not exactly new.
