Larry Ellison is one of the biggest pieces of shit and Oracle can go fuck themselves.
Lets use it only on citizens who are billionaires to make sure they remain on their best behavior.
A symptom of believing they are better than others.
And by "citizens" you mean slaves.
On coins, on stamps, on the covers of books, on banners, on posters, and on the wrappings of a cigarette Packet -- [Big Brother was] everywhere. Always the eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, working or eating, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or in bed -- no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.
-- George Orwell, Nineteen-Eighty-Four
And even those few cubic centimeters will only be yours as long as we don't have the tech yet to access that. Once that tech is available, it's an inevitability that that too will be theirs
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

'citizens will be on their best behavior'
Compliant. He means compliant.
He's afraid of the masses.

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.
There's a different solution that can ensure billionaires will be on their best behavior.

Leave it to the associopathic billionaires to take a look at 1984 and decide to use it as an instruction book.
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"
Brb, buying cases of Guy Fawkes masks...
You oughta buy shares of the Guy Fawkes Mask Co.
ORACLE - One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
Of course it is, because that AI will totally not be programmed to ONLY surveil the lower tier sub-humans, Riiiiiiiiiight ?
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.
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.
Should work pretty good if the IRS uses it for tax audits.
Tim Allen with bad facial hair looking motherfucker
He's like if you made a hybrid clone of Tim Allen and Tim Curry and then had him raised by Josef Stalin and Ayn Rand.
He looks like the plastic version of Tim Allen as Santa from that Christmas movie.
you hear a sudden beep in your ears
"Sir you've not been smiling. We really want citizens to be smiling!"
Move to china you dick length.
Can we apply it to tax cheats first?
It will only ensure the opposite.
Police could already use drones operated by humans to chase people. It's already possible and already safer. For some reason the police don't seem to give a shit about that. Their leaders don't care, and their leaders' leaders don't care. But go ahead billionaire man with AI, change the world.
