In other words, lack of accountability leads to bad behaviour. He might be onto something there…

And who will decide what is good and bad behaviour? Hmm? And what advantage will society as a whole get from this?

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 month ago

Wow, that is one punchable face right there!!!

[–] SitD@lemy.lol 9 points 1 month ago

"Will it blend?" - in today's episode, Larry Ellison, massive waste of skin and resources.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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?

[–] derfunkatron@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I think that word is tyranny, if we’re sticking with Greek.

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.

[–] sweetpotato@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

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

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.

“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

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.

Is this what Ted Kaczyinski (the Unabomber) warned against?

Psycho Pass anyone?

Put yourself on public camera streams first as a test. I bet this guy is not always on his best behavior

[–] squid_slime@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

sounds like a nazi

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.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] tektite@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

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.

These trash humans see china and are jealous.

[–] anarcho_blinkenist@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sees the USA doing what it's always done, which we've known since COINTELPRO and Snowden's whistleblowing

"THIS IS LIKE CHINA!!!"

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

China is preventing people from traveling and working due to their social credit system. Their level of intrusion has no comparison to any other country. The level of intrusion into peoples lives is horrible and unprecedented. Its 1984 made manifest and no amount of garbage arguments is going to to be able to equate their surveillance state with any other country.

And I thought satire was dead.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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.
