Why would H&R Block even exist? In this AI-maximalist version of the future, I could just spin up my copy of Llama 25, and it’d do my taxes in seconds. Pennies to the local utility board for the energy. Not much value circulating in the economy to be reinvested anywhere.
The future isn’t a fixed point. But before then H&R Block (or a company like them) will probably shift to AI. Then eventually your AI will mean you don’t even need them.
