WTF? Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior' https://www.aol.com/billionaire-larry-ellison-says-vast-160646367.html

You know what? We need a system that ensures all the billionaires are on their best behavior. These tech bros have already lost their minds.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social
I find that billionaires that want to control citizens behavior, don’t understand that they are fueling a citizens revolution that won’t end well for them.

Folks out here in the real work a day world all suffer from the Popeye syndrome, it that will result in a resounding “That’s all I can stands and I can’t stands no more”

Ask any healthcare CEO, they’ll tell ya.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social billionaires are the enemies of humanity and human freedom.

[–] BagOfNails@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Actually we just need fewer billionaires.

[–] holgerpatzelt@mastodon.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social anyone could know that he thinks that way, as he treats his employees like that since day one. His electronic devices control everything his employees do even without cameras. That he has no problem treating people like China 2.0 can be no surprise to anyone

If you see a billionaire, say something! Post about it! Take a picture if you get a chance! Share everything you learn about our new overlords publicly so that we can all learn to love them! What were they driving? Wearing? Who were they with? Where were they and when?
Help them rule us by sharing everything you learn about every billionaire you encounter!

@nixCraft@mastodon.social How about no thanks.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Oh cool, yet another asshole richer than God looking to recreate Him in his image.

[–] patricus@mstdn.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social billionaires are crap.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social We are the oligarch's livestock.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social I'm so glad #StarTrek went off the air in 1969. Imagine what it would become with Paramount in the hands of this wanker.

listens to earpiece

What? They made more?

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Hello 2025? George Orwell is calling…

@nixCraft@mastodon.social How Libertarian of him. Oh wait, no, Totalitarian.

[–] davehigginsnaples@mstdn.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Larry has no interest in making the world a better place: His only interest is selling more software (and making more money).

[–] Lightfighter@infosec.exchange 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Sounds a bit like the Chinese surveillance system, but with an LLM backend.

[–] Beggarmidas@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social No reason we couldn't make that happen first.

[–] funbaker@chaos.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Such a system already exists, invented by https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph-Ignace_Guillotin

@nixCraft@mastodon.social

I saw Ellison at Oracle World in SFO some years back - super bright, super crazy, and wedded to the tech-bro pissing contest, like all of them.

Halfway along half the audience had left because the ‘keynote’ turned into a recitation of granular technical details a few engineers might still find useful but the rest of the crowd grew bored with.

Lotsa trash-talking the competition as well, salesforce.com then being a target Larry obviously relished grinding under heel.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Watch Dogs wasn't supposed to be prophetic...

[–] onepict@chaos.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social ah the virtual panopticon. Funny how billionaires and governments don't like the full idea where they are surveilled as well.

Jeremy Bentham was clear on that one.

[–] Grant_M@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social The best way to insure fascist billionaires are on their best behavior is face-punches and taxes. Tax the shit out of them.

[–] humanhorseshoes@mastodon.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Ellison has always been this obnoxious though, long before it became trendy

[–] iveyline@mastodon.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social It's scary how these billionaires are increasingly controlling our lives. What happened to power to the people? Wish they would all go on a one way trip to Mars and leave us in peace!

[–] road_krill@mastodon.online 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social

Since AI is so good at facial recognition, I suggest everyone who breaks the rules of “good behavior” do so while wearing a Larry Ellison mask. He should be very happy with the results.

[–] That_Damn_Frank@beige.party 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social
We need new laws to limit surveillance, both public and private, not encourage it.

It's possibly the only part of the first amendment that needs tweaking.

[–] corpomancer@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

@nixCraft Funny. They don't know how utterly unprepared they are against everything that has yet to occur in this world.

Together with everyone else, who know it's their fault.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social

Meanwhile, we've all seen Eagle Eye, The Surrogates, and who knows what other movies and the end result is always the same.

[–] rejzor@mastodon.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social And who will ensure these rich fucks will just pay their fucking taxes?

[–] alexmorse@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social sadly he does not look delicious, maybe he can feed some livestock

[–] FossThought@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social And I wonder if he'll lead by example and let us all into his life.

[–] _j5s7_@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social What could probably go wrong?

[–] SordidAmok@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Do they know they're making the plots of dystopian fiction real?

@nixCraft East Germany tried surveillance on a massive scale, didn't work out too well for them.

[–] PizzaDemon@mastodon.online 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social thing about a panopticon is that it's a design for a prison

[–] lloydlemons@me.dm 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social YES! Monitor the billionaires.

[–] Sh4d0w_H34rt@cyberpunk.lol 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social poison all the AI datasets before these bastards get us killed with their faulty tech.

[–] Paradisehome@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social This is ridiculous wtf

[–] GGMcBG@mstdn.plus 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social

Crime or Justice, as we know they exists, don't continue to exist, without billionaires. That Chiclet-toothed weirdo knows it.

[–] geonz@mathstodon.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social I wouldn't let somebody lookin' like that even .... get near me on the bus.

[–] LordCaramac@discordian.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Oligarch who don't behave might not have a very long lifespan. At least not if they live in places where a lot of people own firearms.

[–] Luna@mastodon.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social All I can say is no.

[–] Dtraslerwriting@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social How about training an AI on tax law and setting it loose on this guy's accounts? Sure, it may return a wildly inaccurate answer, like $70 billion dollars, or three elephants and a pint of squid ink, but that's a risk I'm sure he's prepared to take.

[–] xs4me2@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

@nixCraft

Really? He must be kidding.

There is a great instrument to cure that. It with guarantee will make them lose their minds. The French used it with great succes in their revolution.

But seriously, with only some 50% of the votes they should be very careful with such statements. The 2nd Amendment is just made for cases like this…
There comes a point where people will not take it anymore.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social

We never got satisfactory investigation of the donors who funded Jan 6.

Larry Ellison continues his war on democracy. .

And it isn't about taxes for him & his buddies Musk & Thiel.
They believe they can take from the common good, but not contribute to it.

[–] viralobscurity@mstdn.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Come on then Larry. Lead by example. Drink your own Kool-Aid.

Put 24/7 live streaming cameras in your bathroom, bedroom and office to make sure you're not being a naughty boy

The old Panopitcon design did not scale.

[–] themadhatter@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social who needs billionaires?

[–] alex02@cyberplace.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@nixCraft@mastodon.social is this the fuckface at Oracle who has allowed The Heritage to build a db of their "loyalists" cuz fuck this guy and his stupid nazi ass.
