"Even more interesting are the broader implications [of #ai]. The same searching, pattern-matching and reasoning capabilities that make these #models so good at analyzing software almost certainly apply to similar systems. The #tax code isn’t computer code, but it’s a series of algorithms with inputs and outputs. It has vulnerabilities; we call them tax #loopholes. It has exploits; we call them tax avoidance strategies. And it has black hat hackers: attorneys and accountants.
Just as these models are finding hundreds of vulnerabilities in complex software systems, we should expect them to be equally effective at finding many new and undiscovered tax loopholes."

In a stunning display of self-restraint, U.S. #Senators have heroically decided to stop themselves from profiting off prediction markets, because nothing says "public service" like giving up their side hustle. 🤑💼 Meanwhile, we all know they’ll find a new loophole by next Tuesday. 🙄🔄

#OpenAI’s contract with the #Pentagon, which claims to prohibit mass #domesticsurveillance and the use of its technology for autonomous weapons, is based on legal authorities like Executive Order 12333. This order, however, contains #loopholes that allow the NSA to collect and retain vast amounts of Americans’ communications, even if they are not the target. https://www.techdirt.com/2026/03/02/openais-red-lines-are-written-in-the-nsas-dictionary-where-words-mean-what-the-nsa-wants-them-to-mean/

ABC News (Australia): Age verification errors see some under-16s retain access to banned social media platforms. “It’s day one of the social media ban and, unsurprisingly, it hasn’t been a smooth launch. Many children have already been able to get around the ban in various ways, with age assurance systems misclassifying users and workarounds such as VPNs and make-up tricks being used.”

I do have a question:
If it is true that only #Congress can authorize
one (treacherous) military attack on another #Nation...Why did the #U.S. #Army went bombing #Iran >without an authorization from #Congress?
Are there any other #legal #loopholes that allow the 'administration' to avoid #congressional oversight?
Or did #Trup commit an illegal act by ordering the bombing?
Or did the #military commit an illegal act by obeying Trump?
Or as always in the USA ... >a "yes and no' -
@eco-g Standard accounting for many multinational corporations. This lack of oversight and poor regulation is not an accident. It's the result of decades of collusion and influence between government and corporate grifters. #taxation #loopholes #coffee #multinationals

Wrote a blog post on scratch tickets, and a friend linked me to this fascinating 2018 article on a mild-mannered guy who figured out loopholes in Michigan and Massachusetts state lotteries (for my western MA friends, the guy operated out of Sunderland! Maybe you heard the story when it broke, but it's totally new to me). The article is lively and super informative--enjoy! https://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/lotto-winners/ #lottery #gambling #mathematics #capitalism #loopholes

@Npars01 @shansterable @JoshuaHolland
In 2016, T**** tried to portray himself as "a man of The People" by promising to raise #taxes on "people like me":"The rich will pay their fair share, but no one will pay so much that it destroys jobs, or undermines our ability to compete.
As part of this reform, we will eliminate the Carried Interest Deduction and other special interest #loopholes that have been so good for #WallStreet investors, and people like me, but unfair to American workers."

The gall of doing this on the back of #Robodebt
is absolutely gob-smacking.Instead of closing #loopholes that allow big business and wealthy individuals to minimise #tax, you'll go after retirees and poor folk who already pay more tax than they should.
According to the #ATO they think it would be UNFAIR not to target all debts regardless of the vulnerability of the person or the age of the debt (noting we only need to hold evidential documentation for 7 years). But apparently it's perfectly fair that wealthy people minimise their tax below the rates that poor people are forced to pay.

This fundamental interpretive shift is noteworthy and prompts serious #questions regarding the #RFRA's #congruity with the #Constitution.
#ConstitutionalAmendments like the #1stAmendment must not be #altered or #misconstrued through the #enactment of #ordinary #legislation like the #RFRA. Such #alterations must be viewed as #undermining the inherent #authority of the #constitution and its #amendments, potentially creating #legal #discrepancies and #loopholes. (6/8)

#Hacking the #TaxCode
Estimates are that U.S. companies like #Google and #Apple avoided paying nearly US$200 billion in #taxes in 2017 alone. In the tax world, vulnerabilities are called #loopholes. Exploits are called tax avoidance strategies. And there are thousands of black-hat researchers who examine every line of the tax code looking for exploitable vulnerabilities—tax attorneys and tax accountants.

On the Randomness of Automatic Card Shufflers
