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.

BertramDitore ,

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.

I vote we test it on Billionaires first. Especially their financial activities.

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

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 :-)

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.

Lost_My_Mind ,

…what is wrong with singing in their car???

Maven ,

Them moving their mouth too much made the AI think they were distracted driving and would dock them for it.

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.

Reverendender ,

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.

You can't enjoy anything but accumulating more money by the time you get to that point I think

Billionaires become billionaires by suppression of the masses. This is on brand.

“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.
