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. — Brian Cantrill

Oh yeah, I consider him to be the worst billionaire of em all, even “trumping” that muskrat…

Oracle, the official company of “Look, we’re developer friendly now, our stuff is open source and free to use! Oh, right, you’ve activated my trap card, now pay 10k per every employee of your company because you used our proprietary JDK mwhahahahaha”

We don’t need citizens to be on their best behavior, we need millionaires and billionaires to be on their best behavior.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 year ago
This is their best behaviour.
MITM0@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Actually there are good millionaires & billionaires (I’m being serious)
It’s just that, they’re no longer Millionaires & Billionaires anymore (Or Alive)
MyOpinion@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Larry I am sure you will be on your best behavior as well.

This man is dangerous and needs to go away immediately.
limelight79@lemm.ee 1 year ago
After 9/11/01, he said, “You have no privacy anyway. Get over it. We should have a national ID card database.” (paraphrased, but that was the gist)
I’m not disputing that he’s dangerous, but I’m pretty sure his comments are mostly driven by wanting to sell Oracle licenses. Which somehow makes it worse.

He’s one of the owners of X, he and like 20 other people invested with Musk

Somebody read or watched 1984 and thought that’s a wonderful idea. Or is he just trying to cozy up to the Chinese government? Or the drugs long term effects are kicking in? Who knows.

These people are fundamentally narcissistic and think they personally know not only how the world works, but also how it ought to work. You can see the somewhat innocent version of that in Apple’s “you’re holding it wrong” fiasco.
That kind of arrogance is kind of normal if you’re a very intelligent teenager, since most of the people around you are indeed less intelligent than you, but most people get their reality check pretty soon and grow up. Business ghouls like Larry, however, never got their reality check. They managed to become successful early in life and still operate under that childish mindset.

But…we got video evidence of someone already having murdered a ceo. It didn’t seem to stop the ceo from getting shot tho, remarkable. 🤔

Video surveillance doesn’t stop crime, it only records it…

Ellison made the comments as he spoke to investors earlier this week during an Oracle financial analysts meeting …
Ellison said AI would be used in the future to constantly watch and analyze vast surveillance systems, like security cameras, police body cameras, doorbell cameras, and vehicle dashboard cameras.
“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.”
Ellison also expects AI drones to replace police cars in high-speed chases. “You just have a drone follow the car,” Ellison said. “It’s very simple in the age of autonomous drones.”

Broke guy Agent641 says a vast self-funded purchase of plastic water pistols and a sample pot of black house paint can ensure that Larry is wrong.

That dude was never on his best behavior. And now he wants to punish anyone that is going to out live him.
it happens to all rich old people; how dare you live past them.

How about using it on the billionaires instead?
njordomir@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yep, the more money/power/influence you have the more you deserve to be scrutinized and the more public your life should be. Once you hit $1B you shouldn’t be allowed to scratch your ass or pick at a nail without it being noted on your public record.
TwoFacedJanus1968@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It will just mean that the citizens will ill-intent will find ways to use the same tools against the surveillance system.
Not to mention, most of the people NOT on their best behavior will be the guys running the companies and agencies running the system.

Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing 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’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.

what he really means is that me and my buddies are fucking everyone else and we are afraid that there will be retaliation so we need mass surveillance
