Until you see weaponized robots following you everywhere you go,it's just a doomsday prophecy. You could die tomorrow; you sit there with your life flashing through your eyes as you realize you spent the last week alive worried about an Al-pocalypse. Nobody can predict when or if. Stop worrying.

They don't want you to know that #ICE (IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT,) is creating a database of EVERYONE who ever voted and HOW they voted in every Election! It's because they're planning on locking us up & then DEPORTING us somewhere we've never been, like EL SALVADOR! Paying attention yet?

You guys would love Mastodon. I'm seeing a lot of mellow, dog-loving introverts here on Bluesky. Lot of tech gurus on Bluesky too. 💁🏼‍♀️ Same vibes.

I wonder if Ashley St. Clair deleted the rest of the incriminating electronics communications evidence that corroborate with her allegations that Elon Musk used his extensive computer knowledge and access toalter the outcome of the last US Presidential Election? Or is ahe just gatekeeping them? 🤷🏼‍♀️💯

Are they really not going to investigate Ashley St. Clair's allegations that Elon Musk interfered in the 2024 Election?! Ashley St. Clair is gatekeeping the rest of the electronic communications evidence she still has, she said she has all of them and only a few of them went public.

theverge.comTrump is giving data centers a pass to polluteThe EPA is “thinking first about industry’s needs.”

They're also building new prisons, to provide free labor by filling them up with homeless people, since it's illegal to be homeless, after purposely price-gouging rent everywhere. 🤷🏼‍♀️💯

The Verge@theverge.com

The Trump administration is sacrificing Americans’ health to build data centers, former EPA officials warn. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Sorry to QT ya, but can you imagine if law enforcement could read our thoughts? They would make some thoughts more legal than others and we'd all be in prison for thought crimes. I sincerely hope AI takes us all off the face of the Earth before they start imprisoning people for thought crimes!

Once we have more than two realistic options on the ballot, elected officials will have to focus on serving us to get reelected instead of just scaring us.
