I take comfort in the fact that Oracle hasn't been able to release new products. They're basically a legal team wrapped around their existing software.
That said, fuck this guy.
Keep in mind that Larry Ellison is fundamentally incapable of caring whether or not "citizens will be on their best behavior." The only reason he would say a thing such as this is because he sees an opportunity to make money from such a system.
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.

I think this is great advice for billionaires in general.
You have to be extremely sick to become one.
If those are your views on privacy, mister, then let's start by you giving everyone access to your personal messages, unedited or unrestricted.
Maybe a vast human being network can ensure billionaires stop existing. Let's do that one instead.
Yeah, that would make any kind of political speech practically impossible. Activism? Nope, out of the question. Creative artistic expression? Better watch out for the thought police.
We don’t need “best behavior,” that would be so incredibly boring.
His out of touch suggestion is completely incompatible with democracy.
The United States already prosecutes many activists as terrorists, or at least tries to charge them. All this would do is turn that up to eleven.
100%
Here’s a very recent example of just that.
1984 was not meant to be an instruction manual you twat
Torment Nexus shit right here
I vote we test it on Billionaires first. Especially their financial activities.
Fuck this fascist! We need to eat them ASAP. Or just bury the useless flesh. Either way, they shouldn’t come back from this…
I agree wholeheartedly Larry so let's start with monitoring the sex dungeon where you keep the abducted kids locked up, you fucking bootlicking Orwellian psychopath.
I'm trying to think of which robot dystopia/apocalypse this most closely resembles.
Guillotine
Never liked this guy. And Oracle DB has always kinda sucked.
And that’s their only “good” product.
The rest is utter garbageware, designed for one purpose: to check boxes on RFPs.
The post above this one in my feed was from the onion: Guy Who Sucks At Being A Person Sees Great Potential In AI
This is the kind of shit Amazon drivers already have to put up with. Remember hearing about how their singing can alarm the AI driver facing camera watchdog? If they're not willing to go on strike to get rid of surveillance in the work place then it's all too likely the average citizen won't do anything about it either.
........what is wrong with singing in their car???
Them moving their mouth too much made the AI think they were distracted driving and would dock them for it.
Isn't this basically what china is right now? Where's all the tankie that would wanna defend him?
Dude. You have way more than enough money. Go enjoy some real life, doing whatever it is soulless husks enjoy doing. Leave the rest of us alone.
Billionaires become billionaires by suppression of the masses. This is on brand.
Old dirt bag techno fascist.
NGL I did a double take tryna figure out why they used a picture of Tim Allen for that headline.
It's all fun and games until said system is used against you either by hackers, insider with mallicious intent or the goverment.
Albeit said A.I systems could also be used to get rid of billionares by simply exposing tax loopholes, tracking illegal transactions and by finding answers from any leaked data which will be more plentiful when such systems gets in to place.
We literally need to start turning all billionaires into compost.
Who even is this?
Asshole billionaire founder of asshole company Oracle. For reference, they sell cloud solutions and AI shit. What he says is that he wouldn't mind a totalitarian surveillance regime of us peasants to make a quick buck.
Start by putting cameras in his house
Well he's a billionaire so he probably does have some already, what needs to be done is to make these accessible to the public and sell the data to private companies. Just to see how this fucks feels about it.
This person is a danger.
Yeah! Great! Let's start by surveil all those rich guys and their behavior. For ... let's say ... the next decade.
He even looks like a doos.
I hope Larry Ellison, trips and knocks out his front teeth.
That guy is a raging piece of shit.
If this runs on Oracle we're all gonna be just fine. It's one of the slowest, clunkiest products ever made.
God, will someone just punch him already?
You keep giving us reason to eat you.
We need a catchy name for it… maybe Older Male Sibling?
“The AI has long since exterminated black people, bars, cumin, and parks, yet it continues to recommend that we arrest anyone who purchases flavor aid and chicken. Barbecues, as we knew them, are as dead as the root of its prejudice against them. On the bright side, white people have never been more free to do cocaine, the economy booster™”
Relying on AI to provide a naughty list is a horrific idea.
We need a virus that only attacks and kills billionaires.
This guy read Foucault's discussion about the panopticon and took it as instructions. Ugh.
