The first XKCD that comes to mind
Ellision sounds like the kind of guy that wants an unstoppable army of robot swarms.

Private jets . They’ve all got multiple front yards & none of us can afford pitchforks But small aeroplanes, those are weak. & these parasites just looove em
Tool of the privileged, toy for the rest
This guy's company is planning to build nuclear-powered datacenters btw. Check in with yourself on whether you think that's a good power this responsible human being should have.
Oh that's great news! We're accelerating our development towards burn outs! Wait ...
Ah, cofounder of Oracle (that terrible software you hate using) if you, like me, were wondering who the fuck this cunt is.
Eat my shit Larry.
Does he realize that we've had AI surveillance systems for years?
Just look at my record of being locked out of my own bank account.
False positives and nothing working became the norm like 10 years ago thanks to putting these dumb AI systems in charge of IPS and "anti-fraud" systems. This is what happens when you put AI in charge of surveillance. Its like that scene from idiocracy when the computer gives him the name "Not Sure" because its a computer.
Larry is a loudmouth loser
These trash humans see china and are jealous.
Sees the USA doing what it's always done, which we've known since COINTELPRO and Snowden's whistleblowing
"THIS IS LIKE CHINA!!!"
China is preventing people from traveling and working due to their social credit system. Their level of intrusion has no comparison to any other country. The level of intrusion into peoples lives is horrible and unprecedented. Its 1984 made manifest and no amount of garbage arguments is going to to be able to equate their surveillance state with any other country.

Who asked?
Psycho Pass anyone?
Who defines what best behavior is?
Bending over, touching your toes, and not complaining when this guy comes out from hiding in the bushes and sticks something up ur but
Well, Larry obviously.
Coincidentally, Larry will not be under surveillance.
Not only that, he will probably set all the cameras that he is in control of to switch off on command or if he is in the vicinity (in addition to purging the previous 10 minutes or so) so that he is NEVER caught on any camera, period.
So the Panopticon. The hypothetical prison that even people in the 1800s thought would be a human rights violation to build because it was such an extreme form of psychological torture.
Well, we already experience that psychological torture. After 2002/2003, and then especially after 2012, this concept has already burdened our everyday behavior. Browsing behavior, phone calls, texts, emails…every single way we communicate, even face to face meetings with phones in our pockets are open to surveillance. And it’s been shown that it’s been used. Over a decade ago, thanks to Snowden. Now? Things have surely gotten worse and I would bet the farm on behavior very much having changed due these facts.
And not for the better. I think people are actually much less kind to each other when they are aware of being observed. Or worse, deliberately performing for content.

Fuck you Larry.
what he really means is he can make a ton of money out of it
What he really means is the rich can prevent uprisings against them before they have a chance to start.
It's both! His slaves create the system, then sell it to the government, who is bribed to ensure it gets used.
Ay they took capitalism so far it wrapped around into orwellian territory.
What? This is exactly what Orwell wrote about
I thought all the ministries in 1984 were big govt, not big corp, but maybe im splitting hairs 🙆♀️
1984 was written in 1948, after fascists had already demonstrated that capitalism is quite compatible with totalitarianism.
In other words, lack of accountability leads to bad behaviour. He might be onto something there…
Thank you all for these comments, they have made another horrible piece of news a bit less horrible (by knowing people are apaled by this shit).
What behaviors of Larry Ellison is it going to help change? Hoarding wealth to the detriment of society? Attacking the tech sector with their army of lawyers? AI monitoring billionaires sounds strange, but I'm willing to see how it goes.
If History is anything to go by, poor people threatening the rich.
