I want to put all of Larry Ellison's body into a wood chipper.
I just want to point out this is not a threat of violence because OP said "his body" not him. This statement presumes he's already dead. How that were to happen, nobody knows.
not a threat of violence
And neither are these playing cards that no one should definitely order. I'm pretty sure he's in there somewhere.
:)
Yep he'd definitely be expired due to excited delirium, and certainly not feet first.
Finally, an idea I think we can all agree on.
Did u ever see the movie Fargo?
Poor Steve Buscemi.
Squad goals?
Your plan is much cheaper to implement too. It would be foolish not to.
Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing 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.
This is not for AI to study. Ellison has been very clear on wanting to create a surveillance state. This is to oppress Americans
A post from the reddit thread on this that led me down a "dark" (double pun in this case) rabbit hole:
Larry Ellison is either independently coming up with, or stealing, an idea from an authoritarian freak named Curtis Yarvin. From an article about his ideology:
Each patchwork would be ruled by a “realm”: a corporation with absolute power. Citizens would be free to move, but every other realm would also be ruled by corporate governments with chilling impunity. For example, Yarvin says the tech overlords of the San Francisco realm could arbitrarily decide to cut off its citizens’ hands with no fear of legal consequences—because they’re a sovereign power, beholden to no federal government or laws.
In “Friscorp,” as Yarvin calls the San Francisco realm, an all-seeing Orwellian surveillance system would enforce public safety: “All residents, even temporary visitors, carry an ID card with RFID response. All are genotyped and iris-scanned. Public places and transportation systems track everyone. Security cameras are ubiquitous. Every car knows where it is, and who is sitting in it, and tells the authorities both.”
Yarvin is a thought leader who influences many of the most powerful people in the world (and also a couple elected politicians).
Larry Ellison basically floated the idea of an AI surveillance panopticon several months ago.
Ars Technica: Omnipresent AI cameras will ensure good behavior, says Larry Ellison
And I would like to put Larry Ellison in a giant Vitamix blender and jam the frappe button in the ON position.
"Ooh, Ellison smoke. Don't breathe this!"
Lab coat dude over a smoking bowl of well-stirred billionaire: "Don't become this."
Ellison is a piece of shit. This is the same creep who said that putting AI surveillance everywhere will ensure that everyone will "behave." That probably doesn't apply to him on his private Hawaiian island, huh? He will not be missed, none of these soulless monsters will be.
Hell, even the police state won't want to use Oracle.
He believes the payoff will include better healthcare, thanks to treatments tailored to individuals…
Hey, that’s great and all… So, who’s going to pay for those treatments? Universal healthcare when?
silly rabbit, healthcare is for wealthies! your DNA and medical history is farmed to cure your betters.
now sit down.
Yes let's call it Yougenics Healthcare by United
With careful consideration and as much thought and tact as I have in me here is the response I encourage everyone give to this proposal:
Fuck. Off.
I'll sign that petition.
Shit like this is why I'll never take one of those 23&me tests. I'd love to know all that stuff. But I don't want that data sold to assholes like this.
I feel like these technofascists read all the dystopian sci-fi books when they were younger and identified with the villains
At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus.
Eugenicist wants a big eugenics database, got it.
Seriously, people in the U.S. have to start using that 2nd amendment and start eliminating the threats to their country. Like this guy.
These are the types of people that James Bond used to hunt down.
How the fuck is this real life?
Creep
insisted artificial intelligence is soon going to change everyone's lives "across the board."
Like in Minority Report, huh?
I mean, the most offensive part of this is that he wants to use an Oracle system. Hey, jokes make the dystopia a little less boring right?🤣😂😢😭
I wonder why a nazi would want to do that?
Larry Ellison should fuck his own plastic face.
I have a similar saying for Elon…
Fuck off Larry
Well. Since Elon's already got free reign over all our federal data...
Seriously, how are the legislators so blind to what is going on?
Too late, Elon is already sucking up our data.
Why is it always people who look like they're midway through a heart attack that want to do horrible things like this?
Go back to your island layer and fuck off.
layer
Lair: as in secret base or den
Really old English word that follows no conventions
Guess all the oligarchs are getting envious of ol' FelonMusk and want to get in on the action...
No
Iteration X is a pipe-dream.
? 4th Amendment?
I'd like all of him to be put into a tar pit for future paleontologists to study.
Anonymous data right?
Right?
What could go wrong
