Larry Ellison is one of the biggest pieces of shit and Oracle can go fuck themselves.

[–] ME5SENGER_24@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

Lets use it only on citizens who are billionaires to make sure they remain on their best behavior.

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 27 points 6 days ago

A symptom of believing they are better than others.

Who's watching the billionaires?

[–] positiveWHAT@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

The Smash Brothers.

Usual a few hundred who blow the whistle after the billionaire is dead.

They've heard what happens to formerly-live whistle blowers.

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

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Not only parasites, but they want to decide everything too.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 16 points 6 days ago

Leave it to the associopathic billionaires to take a look at 1984 and decide to use it as an instruction book.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Brb, buying cases of Guy Fawkes masks...

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

You oughta buy shares of the Guy Fawkes Mask Co.

ORACLE - One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Of course it is, because that AI will totally not be programmed to ONLY surveil the lower tier sub-humans, Riiiiiiiiiight ?

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

Should work pretty good if the IRS uses it for tax audits.

Tim Allen with bad facial hair looking motherfucker

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] Revonult@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

He looks like the plastic version of Tim Allen as Santa from that Christmas movie.

Move to china you dick length.

Fascist fuck

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 126 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Hypothetically, if Larry was eaten, would other billionaires be on their best behavior and stop positing fascist control mechanisms?

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 65 points 1 week ago (5 children)

That's a testable hypothesis.

We don't need citizens to be on their best behavior, we need millionaires and billionaires to be on their best behavior.

Yeah, and a simple wooden construction with a movable metal blade keeps billionaires on their best behaviour. Or at least it did in the 18th century.
