This is the kind of shit Amazon drivers already have to put up with. Remember hearing about how their singing can alarm the AI driver facing camera watchdog? If they're not willing to go on strike to get rid of surveillance in the work place then it's all too likely the average citizen won't do anything about it either.

Larry Ellison can suck my dick.

Facebook proved that people are just as shitty when their identity is voluntarily public.

That guy is a raging piece of shit.

This guy read Foucault's discussion about the panopticon and took it as instructions. Ugh.

I hope Larry Ellison, trips and knocks out his front teeth.

I imagine everyone said this about video cameras, turns out crime still happens. AI is only as good as the programmers who designed it.

Now, if the AI achieves self-awareness. Let's all hope the AI comes to the conclusion that billionaires are the true root of all evil.

Keep in mind that Larry Ellison is fundamentally incapable of caring whether or not "citizens will be on their best behavior." The only reason he would say a thing such as this is because he sees an opportunity to make money from such a system.

Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising 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.

If this runs on Oracle we're all gonna be just fine. It's one of the slowest, clunkiest products ever made.

We need a catchy name for it… maybe Older Male Sibling?

Yeah, that would make any kind of political speech practically impossible. Activism? Nope, out of the question. Creative artistic expression? Better watch out for the thought police.

We don’t need “best behavior,” that would be so incredibly boring.

His out of touch suggestion is completely incompatible with democracy.

Never liked this guy. And Oracle DB has always kinda sucked.

I'm trying to think of which robot dystopia/apocalypse this most closely resembles.
