Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior'
Fascist fuck
Hypothetically, if Larry was eaten, would other billionaires be on their best behavior and stop positing fascist control mechanisms?
Nope. All their egos wouldn't allow them to believe that anybody would ever do anything to THEM.
Well then why has Elon been wearing his son like body armor all of the sudden since the United Healthcare asshole got got?
And now you know why everyone hates Oracle.
Oh you mean One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison?
Not heard that before, and I'm old. 🤣😂
That's fuckin' great!!
We don't need citizens to be on their best behavior, we need millionaires and billionaires to be on their best behavior.
This is their best behaviour.
Actually there are good millionaires & billionaires (I'm being serious)
It's just that, they're no longer Millionaires & Billionaires anymore (Or Alive)
WAH-hoo!
add him to the list
He's been on the list for a long long time.
This guy needs more luigi in his life
Want in resin pin form.
Dude looks like he's one line of coke away from a heart attack...
He looks like Tim Allen got in a fight with a hornet nest
HGH
This man is dangerous and needs to go away immediately.
After 9/11/01, he said, "You have no privacy anyway. Get over it. We should have a national ID card database." (paraphrased, but that was the gist)
I'm not disputing that he's dangerous, but I'm pretty sure his comments are mostly driven by wanting to sell Oracle licenses. Which somehow makes it worse.
By all accounts, Larry is a piece of shit.
Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle.
— Brian Cantrill
Oh yeah, I consider him to be the worst billionaire of em all, even "trumping" that muskrat...
idk, the gov't already has us under their boot
And most of us like it that way...
Time to wake those fuckers up!
And by "citizens" you mean slaves.
On coins, on stamps, on the covers of books, on banners, on posters, and on the wrappings of a cigarette Packet -- [Big Brother was] everywhere. Always the eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, working or eating, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or in bed -- no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.
\
-- George Orwell, Nineteen-Eighty-Four
And even those few cubic centimeters will only be yours as long as we don't have the tech yet to access that. Once that tech is available, it's an inevitability that that too will be theirs
I used to think I was heading toward abject poverty as our bs systems were going into more bs but now Im getting more hopeful. Maybe I will be dead or in prison.
Free food/shelter or won't need food/shelter, whatever floats your boat champ
Literally 1984.
But...we got video evidence of someone already having murdered a ceo. It didn't seem to stop the ceo from getting shot tho, remarkable. 🤔
Video surveillance doesn't stop crime, it only records it...
Well if red states are cutting access to porn, people gotta watch something to get their rocks off…
'citizens will be on their best behavior'
Compliant. He means compliant.
He's afraid of the masses.
I wonder why
Longing. Rusted. Seventeen. Daybreak. Furnace. Nine. Benign. Homecoming. One. Freight Car.
Somebody read or watched 1984 and thought that's a wonderful idea. Or is he just trying to cozy up to the Chinese government? Or the drugs long term effects are kicking in? Who knows.
These people are fundamentally narcissistic and think they personally know not only how the world works, but also how it ought to work. You can see the somewhat innocent version of that in Apple's "you're holding it wrong" fiasco.
That kind of arrogance is kind of normal if you're a very intelligent teenager, since most of the people around you are indeed less intelligent than you, but most people get their reality check pretty soon and grow up. Business ghouls like Larry, however, never got their reality check. They managed to become successful early in life and still operate under that childish mindset.
There's a different solution that can ensure billionaires will be on their best behavior.
Right, because billionaires will just fall over and concede - they won't have their government lapdogs impose draconian security and lockdown mentality on our whole society. Yes indeed, the action movie fantasy that makes you feel badass is a sure-fire winner.
they won't have their government lapdogs impose draconian security and lockdown mentality on our whole society
That's literally what this guy is trying to do right now.
It won't matter past a certain point what kind of tech they employ.
Right, because billionaires will just fall over and concede
Zombies aren't real.
Larry Ellison says that North Korea and China are great countries to live in
You first, and then we'll lock the door behind you, you mother fucker
Pardon my French, but these scum of the earth should rot in hell as far as I am concerned. They are a literal cancer for this world
Not only parasites, but they want to decide everything too.
A symptom of believing they are better than others.
Larry I am sure you will be on your best behavior as well.
Functional AI won't care how much imaginary wealth the meatbags have accumulated.
Sounds like someones vying for next in line.
We need another Luigi for this asshole.
He's one of the owners of X, he and like 20 other people invested with Musk
what he really means is that "me and my buddies are fucking everyone else and we are afraid that there will be retaliation so we need mass surveillance"
they just can't help saying the quiet part out loud
Father Luigi won't you spare us from this clown
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti
That dude was never on his best behavior. And now he wants to punish anyone that is going to out live him.
it is an attitude that happens to many rich old people; how dare you live past them and enjoy it.
including YOU and other leeches?!
ya. didn't think so.
Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison.
You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn - you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think "oh, the lawnmower hates me" – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle.
Larry and his ultra-rich megawank friends can all go first and show us the way
Funny thing about "best behavior" is that it's defined by whoever is in charge of the venue you're in, whether it's society ingeneral or a social media community. Somebody always dictates what's okay or not okay to say.

Larry Ellison is one of the biggest pieces of shit and Oracle can go fuck themselves.
Remember, remember the 4th of December...
5th of December?
I'm aware of the 5th of November and the 4th of December...
Long day, thanks. Fixed.
Can't forget the third of September! That's a day I'll always remember, yes I will, 'cause that was the day my daddy died.
Come to think of it, do you remember the 21st night of September? Love was changin' the minds of pretenders while chasing the clouds away.
Ah, the Panopticon. How novel.
Time to 3d these people.
Oh, I like this.
DVON GET THE TABLES GUILLOTINES!!!
Lets use it only on citizens who are billionaires to make sure they remain on their best behavior.
So billionaires will pay the right amount of taxes! Oh wait!
Who's watching the billionaires?
The Smash Brothers.
Usual a few hundred who blow the whistle after the billionaire is dead.
They've heard what happens to formerly-live whistle blowers.
Leave it to the associopathic billionaires to take a look at 1984 and decide to use it as an instruction book.
Brb, buying cases of Guy Fawkes masks...
You oughta buy shares of the Guy Fawkes Mask Co.
How about using it on the billionaires instead?
I bet they are under the same surveillance but for their safety
I heard a guy tell a story about a vast AI-fueled cluster of bombs strapped to Larry's head set to trigger if he says objectively inhumane, anti-democratic shit can ensure Larry stays a lot quieter.
you hear a sudden beep in your ears
"Sir you've not been smiling. We really want citizens to be smiling!"
Of course it is, because that AI will totally not be programmed to ONLY surveil the lower tier sub-humans, Riiiiiiiiiight ?
Panopticon will not be the way
Sure, it could, but should it? No of course not, a safe "utopian" society through force is dystopian and still unsafe (just now the danger is sanctioned, don't run afoul of Lord AI) in reality.
I'll take the possibility of getting shot by some dickhead over AI overlords watching my every move any day of the week.
