Summary
Trump declared Biden’s pardons “VOID” in a late-night Truth Social post, claiming they were signed by autopen without Biden’s knowledge—despite Trump having used autopen during his first term.
Trump warned pardoned individuals, including January 6th committee members (who weren’t charged with crimes), that they’re “subject to investigation at the highest level.”
Critics characterized his statements as “dictator shit” and questioned their legality, with one commenting this represents “the 17th constitutional crisis of just this weekend alone.”
I’m rooting for the AI ending. Maybe something superior can be born out of humanity so we served some kind of purpose.
Given who’s funding the AI, a perverse instantiation or infrastructure profusion failure mode is far more likely
Imagine if the butter robot from rick and morty really takes its purpose “to pass butter” to heart, and concludes that, in order to maximize the degree to which it succeeds in passing butter, it must hack and reorient the world economy to make as much butter as possible, and further apportioning resources to improve its ability to pass butter en-masse, then it just goes full “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream”, but it imprisons a few people and just passes the ever-growing amount of butter between them
Hah. That is a very depressing end indeed.
i’m rooting for the ‘people finally stood up and did away with the sociopaths, ushering in a new utopia’ ending.
stop being cowards making bad jokes.
I remember when I was young and optimistic and believed this was possible. The humanity at its best ending. I honestly don’t have that kind of faith anymore and doubt I can get it back now.
i’m 51. you lack a spine. STFU if you’re not here to win a fucking war.
What would it matter? Would just become corrupt again in a few decades. The species is trash. It deserves to die
God I hate people like you.
I’m sure I hate you at your rotten core too, terror ape, as I also hate myself. Hate is exactly what binds us all together. Aren’t we lovely?
If it’s not clear yet, I’ll spell it out for you. I’d push the button to end all human life if given the opportunity without a second thought. Again, I’m rooting for the AI.
Start small friend.
Oh trust me, I would… but it would hurt my family, and I do care about avoiding any additional pain to them. I’ll live out the prison sentence. Won’t be much longer.
The button is probably pretty small.
Give the cephalopods the reigns
