I’m not sure kids should be taught they are on the same plane of existence as a tool created by another person. Same goes for religion and politics. I would maybe approach the subject as here is a tool that people are making, this is what we hope to achieve with it, but be very skeptical of it, as we all are with all other technology.

The praising of AI that I see is borderline religious and I imagine if the singularity happens it will become a religion for some people, I also imagine if it doesn’t happen it’ll be like Christians talking about the second coming, “it’s coming, you must believe or the AI will destroy you when it does finally come”, I can also see actual Christian’s claiming AI as the second coming. But it’s a computer program, devoid of our ability to power it, it’s nothing but an idea.

Tax implications of employee working abroad

And another

It’s not only about back taxes. Without Bob’s declaration of working abroad, the company may run into problems in regards to international taxation, unless Bob hides the fact he’s in South America or wherever. Maybe the company isn’t liable for Bob’s unpaid taxes but the company itself has obligations in regards to collect the proper taxes in regards to wherever Bob decides to reside abroad. But if Bob is an independent contractor, then it’s all on him, but as an employee, his residence very much impacts the company. Again we’re talking about Bob who says he lives in Los Angeles but actually lives in Ecuador.

The company withholds taxes out of Bob’s pay, unless Bob is a private contractor, so the company is paying taxes on behalf of Bob, which then Bob collects a return on, as well as other benefits. Unless Bob tells the company he lives in Ecuador, the company is withholding incorrect taxes and therefore the company is liable, not to mention companies need to disclose where they operate with the state, in some cases down to the county, which has tax implications. And that’s only income tax, not to mention corporate tax, sales tax, etc.

Also pay has historically been calculated based on where a person resides because tax is calculated based on where you work and reside, and there are tax benefits to live and work in certain places versus others. For example, if you work in NY and live in NJ, you get taxed by the city and state where your company operates and you get taxed by the state where you live, that’s 3 tax deductions between 2 states.

So all in all it does matter on multiple levels where you choose to live and work.

In his infinite wisdom, being a shining star of public welfare, he encouraged the elderly, the most vulnerable to illnesses of all kinds, be placed back into close quarters with one another in the middle of a quickly expanding pandemic, and at the same time mandated people to wear masks outside.

But you’re right, in this instance he just made an oopsie.
