Keep in mind that Larry Ellison is fundamentally incapable of caring whether or not “citizens will be on their best behavior.” The only reason he would say a thing such as this is because he sees an opportunity to make money from such a system.
Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think ‘oh, the lawnmower hates me’ – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle.

I think this is great advice for billionaires in general.
You have to be extremely sick to become one.
I take comfort in the fact that Oracle hasn’t been able to release new products. They’re basically a legal team wrapped around their existing software.
That said, fuck this guy.
Maybe a vast human being network can ensure billionaires stop existing. Let’s do that one instead.
If those are your views on privacy, mister, then let’s start by you giving everyone access to your personal messages, unedited or unrestricted.
I agree wholeheartedly Larry so let’s start with monitoring the sex dungeon where you keep the abducted kids locked up, you fucking bootlicking Orwellian psychopath.
Fuck this fascist! We need to eat them ASAP. Or just bury the useless flesh. Either way, they shouldn’t come back from this…
Guillotine
Can ensure parasites are on their best behaviour.
1984 was not meant to be an instruction manual you twat
Torment Nexus shit right here
Yeah, that would make any kind of political speech practically impossible. Activism? Nope, out of the question. Creative artistic expression? Better watch out for the thought police.
We don’t need “best behavior,” that would be so incredibly boring.
His out of touch suggestion is completely incompatible with democracy.
The United States already prosecutes many activists as terrorists, or at least tries to charge them. All this would do is turn that up to eleven.
100%
Here’s a very recent example of just that.
Who even is this?
Asshole billionaire founder of asshole company Oracle. For reference, they sell cloud solutions and AI shit. What he says is that he wouldn’t mind a totalitarian surveillance regime of us peasants to make a quick buck.
Start by putting cameras in his house
Well he’s a billionaire so he probably does have some already, what needs to be done is to make these accessible to the public and sell the data to private companies. Just to see how this fucks feels about it.
I know what Oracle is and what they do, never thought about what kind of asshole their founder was, though. I guess most big tech companies were either founded by assholes or bought by assholes (or both)…
You have to stomp faces to get to this kind of wealth, pretty much all billionaires have empathy issues, either from birth or acquired.
Isn’t this basically what china is right now? Where’s all the tankie that would wanna defend him?
Dude. You have way more than enough money. Go enjoy some real life, doing whatever it is soulless husks enjoy doing. Leave the rest of us alone.
Billionaires become billionaires by suppression of the masses. This is on brand.
You can’t enjoy anything but accumulating more money by the time you get to that point I think
This person is a danger.
