    I was going to make a snarky quip like “guess he’s never actually used oracle”, but then realized he IS oracle.

      Oracle is that way because he wants it that way

    Shit like this is why I’ll never take one of those 23&me tests. I’d love to know all that stuff. But I don’t want that data sold to assholes like this.

    A post from the reddit thread on this that led me down an “dark” (double pun in this case) rabbit hole:

    Larry Ellison is either independently coming up with, or stealing, an idea from an authoritarian freak named Curtis Yarvin. From an article about his ideology:

    Each patchwork would be ruled by a “realm”: a corporation with absolute power. Citizens would be free to move, but every other realm would also be ruled by corporate governments with chilling impunity. For example, Yarvin says the tech overlords of the San Francisco realm could arbitrarily decide to cut off its citizens’ hands with no fear of legal consequences—because they’re a sovereign power, beholden to no federal government or laws.

    In “Friscorp,” as Yarvin calls the San Francisco realm, an all-seeing Orwellian surveillance system would enforce public safety: “All residents, even temporary visitors, carry an ID card with RFID response. All are genotyped and iris-scanned. Public places and transportation systems track everyone. Security cameras are ubiquitous. Every car knows where it is, and who is sitting in it, and tells the authorities both.”

    Yarvin is a thought leader who influences many of the most powerful people in the world (and also a couple elected politicians).

    Larry Ellison basically floated the idea of an AI surveillance panopticon several months ago.

    Ars Technica: Omnipresent AI cameras will ensure good behavior, says Larry Ellison

    Why is it always people who look like they’re midway through a heart attack that want to do horrible things like this?

    This is not for AI to study. Ellison has been very clear on wanting to create a surveillance state. This is to oppress Americans

    Nothing short of comical horseshit.

    For ai to study ai to study

    Bizarre how inept of CEO these few are when the only strategy they can come up with is throwing more money at the same models expecting different results.

    mus have bin nut enuff datas betta frow more datas at it. Dat make it AGI

    • MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Consider that Ellison has made comments in the past about how all of these camera will force people to behave. I believe he wants to create the surveillance mechanisms for the police state.

      • Wooki@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        It’s been done and as expected has very little return on utterly massive amounts of wasted money better spent on tangible valued outcomes

    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.

    Ellison is a piece of shit. This is the same creep who said that putting AI surveillance everywhere will ensure that everyone will “behave.” That probably doesn’t apply to him on his private Hawaiian island, huh? He will not be missed, none of these soulless monsters will be.

      Hell, even the police state won’t want to use Oracle.

    He believes the payoff will include better healthcare, thanks to treatments tailored to individuals…

    Hey, that’s great and all… So, who’s going to pay for those treatments? Universal healthcare when?

      silly rabbit, healthcare is for wealthies! your DNA and medical history is farmed to cure your betters.

        I’ll consider them my “betters” when they can prove to me that their money and power is good for something other than the kind of villainy reserved for children’s cartoons.

        now sit down.

        Now, this is an interesting statement. The first part could well be taken as satire. But, this… this stands apart, a command that pings my Poe’s Law detector. Is this more villain-coded roleplay? Or, is perhaps a prophylactic ESAD called for here, in the event that you truly believe what you’re saying?
