I didn't like this version but it IS very scary what's going to be coming down the pike in the future. They can generate fake photos, fake videos, fake interviews using AI to discredit a person. Instagram has entire pages of AI generated models for whatever you are interested in looking at. Very freaky when you consider political or economic events in the future. Imagine if someone goes massively short a particular stock using options and then releases a fake interview of the CEO making horrific claims. William Randolph Hearst supposedly said "You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war." AI can easily furnish all the evidence you need.

"Regulations section 301.6011-2 was amended by Treasury Decision 9972, published February 23, 2023, which lowers the threshold to 10 for which employers must file certain information returns electronically, including Forms W-2, W-2AS, W-2GU, W-2VI, and Form 499R-2/W-2PR (collectively Forms W-2), but not Form W-2CM. To determine whether they must file information returns electronically, employers must add together the number of information returns (see the list below) and the number of Forms W-2 they must file in a calendar year. If the total is at least 10 returns, they must file them all electronically. The new threshold is effective for information returns required to be filed in calendar years beginning with 2024. The new rules apply to tax year 2023 Forms W-2 because they are required to be filed by January 31, 2024. The following information return forms must be added together for this purpose: Form 1042-S, the Form 1094 series, Form 1095-B, Form 1095-C, Form 1097-BTC, Form 1098, Form 1098-C, Form 1098-E, Form 1098-Q, Form 1098-T, the Form 1099 series, Form 3921, Form 3922, the Form 5498 series, Form 8027, and Form W-2G."
