Okay then, seeing as how #TheOrangeMenace is an #ExistentialThreat & #ClearAndPresentDanger, Biden not only has the authority but NAY the OBLIGATION to have his opponent jailed or executed.

#Biden CERTAINLY (at the very least) now has the authority to suspend the election and refuse to resign. #SCotUS #AbsoluteImmunity

@gerrymcgovern While I appreciate the concerns with regards to energy use & I personally feel that #AI is a serious #existentialThreat to #humanity..

I do wonder why some people feel the need to #insult others like "fuck tech bros" etc. Seems #unnecessary.

In the end most, if not all, #energy slurping services keep existing because of users. Including "social media" like X, Face**, etc and yes even #Mastodon & the #Fediverse with its glorious cat pics..

So I applaud efforts to reduce usage. ❤️

I understand how #AI can interact with politics and economics to make the world worse, but I can’t even imagine a plausible scenario in which it’s an existential threat to our species. What am I missing? #existentialthreat #genuinequestion #imeanreally
