    I was going to make a snarky quip like “guess he’s never actually used oracle”, but then realized he IS oracle.

    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.

    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.

        I’ll consider them my “betters” when they can prove to me that their money and power is good for something other than the kind of villainy reserved for children’s cartoons.

        now sit down.

        Now, this is an interesting statement. The first part could well be taken as satire. But, this… this stands apart, a command that pings my Poe’s Law detector. Is this more villain-coded roleplay? Or, is perhaps a prophylactic ESAD called for here, in the event that you truly believe what you’re saying?

    And I would like to put Larry Ellison in a giant Vitamix blender and jam the frappe button in the ON position.

    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.

    Seriously, people in the U.S. have to start using that 2nd amendment and start eliminating the threats to their country. Like this guy.

    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.

    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.

    These are the types of people that James Bond used to hunt down.

    How the fuck is this real life?

    This is not for AI to study. Ellison has been very clear on wanting to create a surveillance state. This is to oppress Americans

    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?🤣😂😢😭
