Mathematics & Science
Google AI Solved An Unsolvable Problem 🧠

Google DeepMind's latest AI tool, FunSearch, had a groundbreaking achievement in pure mathematics by solving the infamous "cap set problem." 

FunSearch was developed using a LLM named Codey, based on Google's PaLM 2 and fine-tuned on computer code, and it represents a significant leap in AI's capability to contribute to scientific discovery.

Unlike DeepMind's previous AI tools, which treated math problems like puzzles in games like Go or chess, FunSearch uses a different approach:

• First, it uses Codey to generate potential solutions for problems expressed in Python code.

• Then, a secondary algorithm then evaluates these suggestions, refining and iterating until a viable solution emerges.

This process led to the discovery of a novel solution to the cap set problem, a complex mathematical challenge involving the arrangement of dots on a graph paper without forming a straight line.

Terence Tao, a renowned mathematician and Fields Medalist, has expressed his interest in this method, seeing it as a promising way to leverage the power of large language models in mathematics.

FunSearch's versatility extends beyond just one problem. It was also applied to the "bin packing problem," where it generated a more efficient solution than those devised by humans.

While it may seem like a boring set of math equations today, problem-solving AIs, like FunSearch, could tackle the issues that plague humanity in the future.

‘Tis The Tax Season
H&R Block’s New AI Tax Assistant 💰

H&R Block launched an AI assistant that's gonna turn tax season from a battlefield into a breeze, and it's called AI Tax Assist - a huge shocker with the name, I know.

Now, normally, when you think of taxes, you can already feel the onset of a nice, day-disrupting headache. Between the numbers, the waiting, and the intentionally confusing forms – it makes me want to pull what's left of my hair out.

However, this AI chatbot from H&R Block is aimed at making filing your taxes easier and more understandable so you can actually, you know… pay what you owe without the stress of finding out. 

What does it actually do?

AI Tax Assist acts as your on-demand tax expert, answering your questions about deductions, forms, and even specific situations like gig work expenses without the sass of a regular accountant.

• Does your home office setup qualify for a deduction? Ask AI Tax Assist. 

• Where to report your cryptocurrency gains? AI’s got your back.

• Can write off Smith's expensive ass brunch? Find out fam.

And if you want to speak to a real, live, sassy tax accountant, you can too at no extra charge. 

This isn't just about convenience – and this is convenient - but H&R Block's AI assistant aims to demystify the often-confusing tax code and empower users to understand their own tax situations better.

To be frank, taxes are confusing as hell, but even more than the headache; this tool empowers more people to do their taxes on time - something that many people seriously have a problem with (even myself some years).

Sometimes people can't afford to go to the real live, mouth-breathing accountant or real life is just getting in the way - this levels the tax playing field.

And if you’re already an accountant - AI, like other accounting tools, helps you become better at your job. 

H&R Block's AI assistant is just the latest step in the growing trend of tech-powered tax solutions. It's a glimpse into a future where AI simplifies our finances and makes tax season less of a chore and more of a (dare we say?) manageable experience. If you want access, is included with any paid version of H&R Block tax software. Try it today!
