Ok, let’s do a test run on you
billionaires and their super important opinions eh? having money is a personality trait apparently
Wow, that is one punchable face right there!!!
#TaxTheRich
And who will decide what is good and bad behaviour? Hmm? And what advantage will society as a whole get from this?
Did AI trim that beard for him?
1984
Emboldened oligarch in a plutocracy.
But also kleptocracy and really a kakistocracy disguised outwardly as an aristocracy or neo-monarchy as Raskin said.
Outside of just saying "America" or "Capitalism" How do we combine all of this into one satisfying, effective term?
I think that word is tyranny, if we’re sticking with Greek.
"Will it blend?" - in today's episode, Larry Ellison, massive waste of skin and resources.
He looks like a perfectly roasted turkey 🦃 🍗 …
Ah, cofounder of Oracle (that terrible software you hate using) if you, like me, were wondering who the fuck this cunt is.
Eat my shit Larry.
Only the fact that he is able to say shit like that out loud is a sign of a rotting society. People are ok with being their slaves
“People behave themselves in a panopticon”-rich people
Firstly no, people don’t. Second, they go crazy in one. And third, this basically breaks down the threads of both community and individualism to create a miserable nightmare

What behaviors of Larry Ellison is it going to help change? Hoarding wealth to the detriment of society? Attacking the tech sector with their army of lawyers? AI monitoring billionaires sounds strange, but I'm willing to see how it goes.
If History is anything to go by, poor people threatening the rich.
sounds like a nazi
Put yourself on public camera streams first as a test. I bet this guy is not always on his best behavior
People can rise up at any time and start destroying the machines that guard them.
It's not bad enough yet but at some point, people won't accept it anymore. Probably when they have almost nothing left to fight for.
Psycho Pass anyone?
This guy's company is planning to build nuclear-powered datacenters btw. Check in with yourself on whether you think that's a good power this responsible human being should have.
I would suggest we give him the 3,000 acres of Lana'i he doesn't own, so the entire island belongs to him, then strand him there forever.
How about instead of that, we give the entirety of Lana'i to Native Hawaiians via Hawaiian Home Lands and boot Larry Ellison out into the ocean on a raft or something.
And I thought satire was dead.
Does he realize that we've had AI surveillance systems for years?
Just look at my record of being locked out of my own bank account.
False positives and nothing working became the norm like 10 years ago thanks to putting these dumb AI systems in charge of IPS and "anti-fraud" systems. This is what happens when you put AI in charge of surveillance. Its like that scene from idiocracy when the computer gives him the name "Not Sure" because its a computer.
Fuck you, no I won’t
