I hope Larry Ellison, trips and knocks out his front teeth.

I imagine everyone said this about video cameras, turns out crime still happens. AI is only as good as the programmers who designed it.

Now, if the AI achieves self-awareness. Let’s all hope the AI comes to the conclusion that billionaires are the true root of all evil.

Is AI still racist?

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.

We need a catchy name for it… maybe Older Male Sibling?

Large Fraternal Unit?

Enormous sibling is viewing you

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.

Chocrates ,

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.

BertramDitore ,

100%

Here’s a very recent example of just that.

Never liked this guy. And Oracle DB has always kinda sucked.

Madrigal ,

And that’s their only “good” product.

The rest is utter garbageware, designed for one purpose: to check boxes on RFPs.

Chocrates ,

Java was nice for the time. Same with MySQL.

4z01235 , (edited )

MySQL was acquired by Sun Microsystems, which was also the original developer of Java. Oracle acquired Sun. So I’d say any niceness there is in spite of, not because of, Oracle.

Also… Java’s still pretty nice :-)

Susaga ,

I’m trying to think of which robot dystopia/apocalypse this most closely resembles.

Sprawl?

Chocrates ,

Right? There are probably hundreds of novels theorizing about how this turns out. Most of them unflattering I would guess, based on however many I have read

Person of Interest, no? That’s exactly what that was. 😅
