But only citizens; the elite will carry on doing what it has always done.

Guy has been a fed since day one. Involved in early CIA projects. Bunch of the early contracts he got for Oracle came directly from the CIA. It made the company. They've been pally ever since. Ellison is just the CIA with all the social tact of a tech billionaire.

"citizens on their best behavior" "big brother is always watching"

Don't sound very different to me

Wait, isn't this the father of Megan Ellison, the owner of Annapurna Interactive? The woman who just made her entire team so mad they quit.

“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

billionaires and their super important opinions eh? having money is a personality trait apparently

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

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

1984

billionaires who talk like this should immediately be committed. he's clearly far gone, just fucking take him away.

in bad country the ruling class uses AI scoring system to ensure the compliance of the workers

"We're going to have supervision," Ellison said. "Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there's a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on."

And if we entertained the idea that this was true and the core focus of this idea (it's not) what do we think the chances are that the "appropriate person" will be one of two things:

1. Another cop

2. A subscription service digital surveillance company with that cop as a client that they report back to for "internal investigation", as long as the bill is paid.

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?

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

"[Stupid rich person shit]"

--Larry Ellison, soon to be major shareholder of Paramount

Maybe billionaires should be filmed and streamed continuously, since their behavior has such a big impact on the world. If they don't like it maybe we shouldn't allow them to control such incredible assets. I'm sure billionaires have nothing sketchy to hide, right? What we will see is probably how they are hard working people who are not at all detached from normal folks. Right?

This is a great way to motivate the developement of hovercars and boards.

sounds like a nazi

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

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

By "citizens" he means poor people, naturally, and by "best behaviour" he means obedience to authority.
