Larry Ellison says that North Korea and China are great countries to live in

You first, and then we'll lock the door behind you, you mother fucker

Pardon my French, but these scum of the earth should rot in hell as far as I am concerned. They are a literal cancer for this world

Print licensing agreements for all oracle products and shove them up your ass

Funny thing about "best behavior" is that it's defined by whoever is in charge of the venue you're in, whether it's society ingeneral or a social media community. Somebody always dictates what's okay or not okay to say.

Ah, the Panopticon. How novel.

Leave it to the associopathic billionaires to take a look at 1984 and decide to use it as an instruction book.

Panopticon will not be the way

you hear a sudden beep in your ears

"Sir you've not been smiling. We really want citizens to be smiling!"

I heard a guy tell a story about a vast AI-fueled cluster of bombs strapped to Larry's head set to trigger if he says objectively inhumane, anti-democratic shit can ensure Larry stays a lot quieter.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Give the entirety of Lana'i to the Native Hawaiians via Hawaiian Home Lands and boot Larry Ellison out into the sea on a raft or something.

Well, if you own a world inhabited by a few billion people, you want to make sure they’re optimally generating value for you and not bringing down the value of your holdings.

Sure, it could, but should it? No of course not, a safe "utopian" society through force is dystopian and still unsafe (just now the danger is sanctioned, don't run afoul of Lord AI) in reality.

I'll take the possibility of getting shot by some dickhead over AI overlords watching my every move any day of the week.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Of course it is, because that AI will totally not be programmed to ONLY surveil the lower tier sub-humans, Riiiiiiiiiight ?
