Larry "privacy is dead, get over it" Ellison.

"We're going to have supervision," Ellison said. "Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there's a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on."

And if we entertained the idea that this was true and the core focus of this idea (it's not) what do we think the chances are that the "appropriate person" will be one of two things:

1. Another cop

2. A subscription service digital surveillance company with that cop as a client that they report back to for "internal investigation", as long as the bill is paid.

And who will decide what is good and bad behaviour? Hmm? And what advantage will society as a whole get from this?

Wow, that is one punchable face right there!!!

billionaires and their super important opinions eh? having money is a personality trait apparently

Ok, let’s do a test run on you

1984

Did AI trim that beard for him?

He looks like a perfectly roasted turkey 🦃 🍗 …

"Will it blend?" - in today's episode, Larry Ellison, massive waste of skin and resources.

Emboldened oligarch in a plutocracy.

But also kleptocracy and really a kakistocracy disguised outwardly as an aristocracy or neo-monarchy as Raskin said.

Outside of just saying "America" or "Capitalism" How do we combine all of this into one satisfying, effective term?

“People behave themselves in a panopticon”-rich people

Firstly no, people don’t. Second, they go crazy in one. And third, this basically breaks down the threads of both community and individualism to create a miserable nightmare

Ah, cofounder of Oracle (that terrible software you hate using) if you, like me, were wondering who the fuck this cunt is.

Eat my shit Larry.

What behaviors of Larry Ellison is it going to help change? Hoarding wealth to the detriment of society? Attacking the tech sector with their army of lawyers? AI monitoring billionaires sounds strange, but I'm willing to see how it goes.

Only the fact that he is able to say shit like that out loud is a sign of a rotting society. People are ok with being their slaves

Is this what Ted Kaczyinski (the Unabomber) warned against?

People can rise up at any time and start destroying the machines that guard them.

It's not bad enough yet but at some point, people won't accept it anymore. Probably when they have almost nothing left to fight for.

Psycho Pass anyone?

Put yourself on public camera streams first as a test. I bet this guy is not always on his best behavior

sounds like a nazi

Does he realize that we've had AI surveillance systems for years?

Just look at my record of being locked out of my own bank account.

False positives and nothing working became the norm like 10 years ago thanks to putting these dumb AI systems in charge of IPS and "anti-fraud" systems. This is what happens when you put AI in charge of surveillance. Its like that scene from idiocracy when the computer gives him the name "Not Sure" because its a computer.

And I thought satire was dead.

This guy's company is planning to build nuclear-powered datacenters btw. Check in with yourself on whether you think that's a good power this responsible human being should have.

I would suggest we give him the 3,000 acres of Lana'i he doesn't own, so the entire island belongs to him, then strand him there forever.

These trash humans see china and are jealous.
