doesn't the 'company' itself also pay taxes on the income? For most solo folks in the US, the revenue flows directly to you. You could set up a more complex corporate structure to hold the income that you don't pay to y

I just ran the same emperor prompt, and got back a non-black emperor image. He's... slightly Mediterranean, which is what I'd expect, but has an odd nose that doesn't really fit the rest of the face shape/size.

This was legislation passed under Trump, but didn't take effect until 2022. Take credit for "lowering taxes"... push the effects of the time bomb on to a future administration. Definition of stable genius... ;)

Exactly. How we've thought about what 'profit' is has changed. When I bought a laptop for my business, it was amortized over... 3 years I think. Kinda nuts but, whatever. It's a couple thousand dollars. But the exampl

You've increased the places where things can go wrong (in third party client apps) while not having any control over their quality. We'd hear "oh, IRS opened things up!", then deal with a dozen half-baked clients, and c

Absolutist takes like this never achieve much. Yes, it could be better. But an mvp-type launch that does some things well, without trying to achieve everything on day one, would definitely not be a "complete waste". If success
