Huge Number of Crypto Users Suddenly Getting Terrifying Letters From the IRS

Published by José

[ad_1] Crypto bros are freaking out amid a surge in letters from the Internal Revenue Service about their digital currency holdings. As Bitcoin.com and other sites report, there has been a whopping 758 percent spike in customer mentions of IRS letters over the past two months alone, suggesting that there may be a taxation crackdown in progress. We don’t know exactly how many people have gotten these troubling letters — but apparently, there are a few different types going out. According to Coinledger, the crypto tax software firm that compiled the new numbers, recipients either received letters 6174 or 6174-A, which are sent as warnings and require no response, or CP2000, in which the IRS has already decided how much you owe and can punish you for not doing so. As Coinledger CEO David Kemmerer told Bitcoin.com, a lot of the people being contacted by the IRS have long reported their crypto holdings to the agency — but the precedent it sets is pretty strange regardless. “We’re seeing a wave of confusion and fear among everyday crypto …

Hailey Bieber ditches her wedding ring in latest outing after husband Justin apologized for ‘huge fight’

Published by skeptic

[ad_1] Hailey Bieber has once again found herself at the centre of intense speculation, after stepping out in New York City without her wedding ring. The 28-year-old model, who welcomed her first child with Justin Bieber just last August, was spotted on Thursday enjoying breakfast in the West Village before reappearing later that evening for a girls’ night out, and in both appearances, her $500,000 diamond ring was noticeably absent. Photographed leaving The Commerce Inn earlier in the day, Hailey looked effortlessly stylish in a khaki trench coat, oversized shades and minimal jewellery. But eagle-eyed fans were quick to note the absence of the sparkling oval diamond that has become synonymous with her marriage to the Canadian pop superstar. © GC ImagesJustin Bieber and Hailey Bieber are parents to baby Jack Later that evening, the Rhode Skin founder was seen dining with close friends Camila Morrone and a pregnant Suki Waterhouse at upscale Manhattan eatery Chez Fifi. Dressed in a black leather coat and wide-leg jeans, Hailey looked poised and polished, but still ringless. Fans have …

EU’s waffle on artificial intelligence law creates huge headache – POLITICO

Published by Sam

[ad_1] But the focus has shifted from safety to catching up with American and Chinese companies leading the AI race, and the EU’s prized AI rulebook is at strong risk of being tweaked as part of a push in Brussels to simplify laws and reduce requirements on businesses. While digital rights campaigners warn the change of heart could see technological catastrophe come true, industry is also conflicted about the indecision. “If you actually want to impose something, impose it, if you want to stop the clock, let’s stop the clock,” said Tomasz Snażyk, CEO of the Polish business group AI Chamber. “People want to be very certain of what is going on.” Dutch Greens’ lawmaker Kim van Sparrentak, who is an advocate of simply enforcing the laws that she herself helped negotiate, warned about the potential brake on the adoption of technology at a time when only 13 percent of companies in Europe are estimated to properly use AI. The European Union’s rules to rein in artificial intelligence risks are barely a year old but they’ve …

Zuckerberg’s Meta Just Made a Huge Investment in a Very Dark AI Company

Published by José

[ad_1] Meta’s AI development isn’t going quite as well as billionaire CEO Mark Zuckerberg had hoped. Once a frontrunner in the AI race, a year’s worth of technical failures and setbacks to his company’s “state-of-the-art” Llama 4 Behemoth have spurred Zuckerberg to pull out all the stops. Now, the second richest man on the planet is said to be handpicking a team of some 50 AI researchers for a shadowy “superintelligence group.” To do so, he’s set aside some $15 billion for a 49 percent stake in Scale.ai — the despotic AI startup that’s been accused of using wage-slave labor to train chatbots, commiting systemic wage theft, and is contracted to run the Pentagon’s “flagship” weapons automation program. Zuckerberg’s goal, according to the New York Times, is to be the first to develop the first AI system that exceeds the abilities of the human brain — a dream, it’s worth noting, which the majority of AI researchers still think is “very unlikely.” Scale.ai is probably the biggest player in the data labeling game, hiring third world laborers to do the laborious …

Trump’s cuts to NASA and the National Science Foundation will have huge consequences

Published by skeptic

[ad_1] Artemis I sits at Launch Pad 39-B at Kennedy Space Center Tribune Content Agency LLC/Alamy The Stern-Gerlach experiment is, in my opinion, truly the first test that forced the results of quantum mechanics onto the scientific community. Proposed by Otto Stern and conducted by Walther Gerlach in 1922, it showed that atoms have a quantum structure. Electrons, it turned out, must follow quantum rules. The Stern-Gerlach experiment also highlights a weird feature of the quantum world: it seems that the observer can determine the possible properties a particle can have. If I measure a quantum property known as spin, the fact the measurement happened seems to change the possible values of spin a particle can have later. In other words, whether a particle was observed or not determines its future. In physics, we are socialised to the idea that we are outside of the physical system, watching it. In this experiment, suddenly we aren’t. In my experience, students initially absorb this as a fact they must accept. Only after being forced to think about …

Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ is a huge, ugly disaster

Published by skeptic

[ad_1] (RNS) — President Donald Trump is attempting to push through his budgetary and tax priorities in one huge bill that is going to be a disaster for America. He refers to it as his “big, beautiful bill.” It will add trillions of dollars to the federal debt, give tax breaks to the very wealthy and cut programs that help the middle class and the least advantaged. And it will enshrine in law the draconian cuts in federal programs instituted by Elon Musk as part of the Department of Government Efficiency. The Congressional Budget Office projects the tax cuts in the bill will cost $3.7 trillion over 10 years, while the spending cuts amount to $1.3 trillion, leaving $2.4 trillion added to the federal deficit, much to the embarrassment of Republican fiscal hawks. House Republicans argue the tax cuts will stimulate the economy so tax revenues will increase, but such voodoo economics have been proved wrong by experience and economic studies. The Trump administration, like barbarians and terrorists, is capable of destroying but not building. …
