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.

Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior'

Billionaire Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison said he expects AI surveillance systems to reach a point where all citizens are under constant watch.

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

Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure ā€˜citizens will be on their best behavior’

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

@Grant_M after a few Luigi Mangioni copycats, Larry will be on his knees begging for AI-fueled surveillance. Unfortunately for him, AI sucks at doing anything well. But what do I care? Let him have his false hope in technology.

@nixCraft

@nixCraft Oh, he wants to make Ultron. Or Skynet. Or RoboCop. Or... you know, I think that's plenty of cautionary tales.
@lizardbill Or the system in Demolition Man.
@Luna @lizardbill before I pick sides, which system? The authoritarian police/nanny state did have its allures but if this is about those seashells my ass is leaving.

@nixCraft

These guys have a death wish.

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

@nixCraft
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 ā€œThat’s all I can stands and I can’t stands no moreā€

Ask any healthcare CEO, they’ll tell ya.

@nixCraft And who will ensure these rich fucks will just pay their fucking taxes?
@nixCraft Hello 2025? George Orwell is calling…
@jqmcd @nixCraft Oh you'd be surprised of HG Wells' vision for a society which he outlined in his non-fiction books. Or Bertrand Russels "Scientific Outlook". Scary.
@nixCraft Watch Dogs wasn't supposed to be prophetic...
@nixCraft No reason we couldn't make that happen first.
@nixCraft Dictatorships are based on forcing the educated to stop thinking

@nixCraft 1984 is coming, if we let idiots like that go ahead.
@nixCraft Oh cool, yet another asshole richer than God looking to recreate Him in his image.
@nixCraft billionaires are the enemies of humanity and human freedom.

@burnoutqueen @nixCraft of course. They've stolen all the wealth of the whole world community, and now, vastly outnumbered, they want to defend it.

How can they not see the rest of us as enemies?

@nixCraft Actually we just need fewer billionaires.

@nixCraft

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 ā€˜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
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.

@nixCraft Larry has no interest in making the world a better place: His only interest is selling more software (and making more money).
@nixCraft How Libertarian of him. Oh wait, no, Totalitarian.
@nixCraft 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.
@nixCraft They don’t read books do they?

@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

Isn't that basically China's social credit system?

@nixCraft I wouldn't let somebody lookin' like that even .... get near me on the bus.
@nixCraft And I wonder if he'll lead by example and let us all into his life.
@nixCraft Do they know they're making the plots of dystopian fiction real?
@nixCraft Ellison is a monumental arse. I don’t like to speak ill of the mentally deranged but there we are.
@nixCraft YES! Monitor the billionaires.

@nixCraft
"Best behavior" in this case meaning, everywhere, all the time, forever. What a chilling statement.

Also: AOL still does news?

@nixCraft We are the oligarch's livestock.

We're watching you Larry

Sibyl System

The Sibyl System is the name given to a law enforcement organization working in cooperation with the national government to manage crime in 22nd century Japan. It is the sole operator and manager of proprietary hardware and software used to analyze the criminal tendencies of the entire country's populace. The Sibyl System established the Ministry of Welfare Public Safety Bureau and rules over its personnel, along with all Psycho-Pass technology and weaponry, with an iron fist. The Sibyl System,

The old Panopitcon design did not scale.

Panopticon - Wikipedia

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

@nixCraft Every word out of these "visionaries'" mouths is just cover for "We need these meat machines to be EFFICIENT, or we're wasting our zillions!!"

They have lost their humanity.

@nixCraft 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.
@nixCraft A "vast AI-fueled surveillance system" would not fit with the 3rd and 4th Amendments. (Gov't assets in private homes and unreasonable search and seizure, but no big deal.)
@nixCraft 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!

@nixCraft this is one of the many reasons why #Mastodon and #TheFediverse is important!

#Fediverse

@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.

Billionaire Larry Ellison plotted with Trump aides on call about overturning election, report says

Unclear how long Oracle chairman’s involvement lasted

The Independent

@nixCraft 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

@nixCraft They (tech bros and uber billionaires) are feeling quite threatened. So they want to big brother the common citizen so they can feel safer? Orwell would be shaking his head over the fact that no one learned a thing from what he wrote.
@nixCraft poison all the AI datasets before these bastards get us killed with their faulty tech.
@nixCraft Who is going to spy on the rich?
@nixCraft 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.
@nixCraft We need more Luigi's, and not only for healthcare CEOs.
@nixCraft 1984 is calling šŸ“ž

His next idea will be the Torment Nexus.
