Lets use it only on citizens who are billionaires to make sure they remain on their best behavior.
Larry Ellison is one of the biggest pieces of shit and Oracle can go fuck themselves.
A symptom of believing they are better than others.
This guy needs more luigi in his life
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.
We don't need citizens to be on their best behavior, we need millionaires and billionaires to be on their best behavior.
ORACLE - One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
Fascist fuck
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
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
Leave it to the associopathic billionaires to take a look at 1984 and decide to use it as an instruction book.
Hypothetically, if Larry was eaten, would other billionaires be on their best behavior and stop positing fascist control mechanisms?
Should work pretty good if the IRS uses it for tax audits.
WAH-hoo!
Of course it is, because that AI will totally not be programmed to ONLY surveil the lower tier sub-humans, Riiiiiiiiiight ?
By all accounts, Larry is a piece of shit.
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.

'citizens will be on their best behavior'
Compliant. He means compliant.
He's afraid of the masses.
I wonder why
And now you know why everyone hates Oracle.
He looks like the plastic version of Tim Allen as Santa from that Christmas movie.
There's a different solution that can ensure billionaires will be on their best behavior.
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.
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"
they just can't help saying the quiet part out loud
We need another Luigi for this asshole.
Move to china you dick length.
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.
Literally 1984.
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.

But...we got video evidence of someone already having murdered a ceo. It didn't seem to stop the ceo from getting shot tho, remarkable. 🤔
