A bullet to the head of billionaires will also ensure that they will be on their best behavior.

So much for “land of the free”.
This will probably be embraced by the same people who disobeyed covid lockdowns because “muh freedumz!”

Minority Report: "This bad actually and leads to problems."
Larry watching Minority Report: "What the fuck this is awesome"

The guy who helped a government develop a database system is in favour of the government developing data gathering systems? Well, I never...
- A shit-ass database system that treats empty strings as null values, and doesn't do automatic casting between ISO date-formatted strings and date/datetime types, yet costs a fuckton to license. Even if he weren't a multibillionaire piece of shit, that fucking prick still deserves the guillotine just for OracleDB's unholy existence; that software wasn't released: it escaped.

Do not make the mistake of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison.
- The Deserter: The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone — everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest, most courageous people in the world... (he's silent for a second) You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you know.
  You: What?
  The Deserter: That you should not make the mistake of mistake of anthropomorphizing the bourgeoisie

Surveillance that billionaires themselves will not be subject to, I'm sure.
- naturally.. this is just for the mere 'citizens' not the overlords
- Oh wow! Wouldn't you know all the systems stopped working specifically in the general area at coincidentally the exact same time this rich boi was doing something naughty. Geee I guess itxs all hearsay and inadmissible now. Shucks. That's too bad. Case closed.

I was watching 90 day fiance the other way and one of the persons wife is in China. When they were driving around he would see a "flashing light" and freak out. It got to the point where they had a fight over it, she was like "I donno maybe the apartment camera or something" and he'd make her drive around to catch it again. On stormfront, people were saying it's probably China watching them and other propaganda bs.
Now I know in the US, there's hella cameras in public places plus we're encouraged to surveil on our own with ring cameras and the like. So what's so scary about a camera flash? It's scary when it's tied to the evil seeseepee but we'll gladly sign our own privacy away for any private company that contracts with the state anyway
- Amazing, willingly participating in a reality show where you are constantly being filmed, and freaking out about some random light because ebil communism!

In capitalist America their oligarchs use AI cameras to micromanage all their citizens and punish them publicly in real time.

Dude looks like Bert Kreischer and Brendan Schaub did a fusion dance to create the perfect dickhead

He lives in a different universe than the citizens. Why does he give a shit what kind of behavior they're on?
- It's incomprehensible to us because we lack the Billionaire Mindset: a severe degree of narcissism that compels them to control everyone and everything at the costs of cheapened human lives and the moral bankruptcy of their own souls.
  Basically because he's a vampiric husk man.
- Because in his head, likely, all that isn't his, should belong to him not soon, but NOW!! In great possibility, to him, everyone ought to obey his will.

we already fuckin have that the only waffling you could do is by arguing about the definition of “ai”
