Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

NGL I did a double take tryna figure out why they used a picture of Tim Allen for that headline.

Can't wait for my security-minded, feudal overlords

We literally need to start turning all billionaires into compost.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Old dirt bag techno fascist.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah! Great! Let's start by surveil all those rich guys and their behavior. For ... let's say ... the next decade.

If those are your views on privacy, mister, then let's start by you giving everyone access to your personal messages, unedited or unrestricted.

I take comfort in the fact that Oracle hasn't been able to release new products. They're basically a legal team wrapped around their existing software.

That said, fuck this guy.

God, will someone just punch him already?

It's all fun and games until said system is used against you either by hackers, insider with mallicious intent or the goverment.
Albeit said A.I systems could also be used to get rid of billionares by simply exposing tax loopholes, tracking illegal transactions and by finding answers from any leaked data which will be more plentiful when such systems gets in to place.

1984 was not meant to be an instruction manual you twat

Torment Nexus shit right here

Maybe a vast human being network can ensure billionaires stop existing. Let's do that one instead.

Our ruling parties have seen over the course of the last 23 years that Americans are accepting of living under constant surveillance, so as dystopian as this is, Ellison's not proposing anything that is particularly outlandish. If you have any cash squared away, it might even be a good idea to research which companies are trying to get these government contracts and invest.

Isn't this basically what china is right now? Where's all the tankie that would wanna defend him?

This person is a danger.

You keep giving us reason to eat you.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

Fuck this fascist! We need to eat them ASAP. Or just bury the useless flesh. Either way, they shouldn’t come back from this…

Asshole billionaire founder of asshole company Oracle. For reference, they sell cloud solutions and AI shit. What he says is that he wouldn't mind a totalitarian surveillance regime of us peasants to make a quick buck.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I know what Oracle is and what they do, never thought about what kind of asshole their founder was, though. I guess most big tech companies were either founded by assholes or bought by assholes (or both)...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

You have to stomp faces to get to this kind of wealth, pretty much all billionaires have empathy issues, either from birth or acquired.

Start by putting cameras in his house

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Well he's a billionaire so he probably does have some already, what needs to be done is to make these accessible to the public and sell the data to private companies. Just to see how this fucks feels about it.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago

I agree wholeheartedly Larry so let's start with monitoring the sex dungeon where you keep the abducted kids locked up, you fucking bootlicking Orwellian psychopath.

We need a virus that only attacks and kills billionaires.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Lets target no empathy people, they are just suffering all their lives, and if smart enough shares that suffering with as many as possible.

He really needs to do something else with his facial hair

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Dude. You have way more than enough money. Go enjoy some real life, doing whatever it is soulless husks enjoy doing. Leave the rest of us alone.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Billionaires become billionaires by suppression of the masses. This is on brand.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

You can't enjoy anything but accumulating more money by the time you get to that point I think

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 months ago

I vote we test it on Billionaires first. Especially their financial activities.

“The AI has long since exterminated black people, bars, cumin, and parks, yet it continues to recommend that we arrest anyone who purchases flavor aid and chicken. Barbecues, as we knew them, are as dead as the root of its prejudice against them. On the bright side, white people have never been more free to do cocaine, the economy booster™”

Relying on AI to provide a naughty list is a horrific idea.
