Should work pretty good if the IRS uses it for tax audits.

[–] ME5SENGER_24@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Lets use it only on citizens who are billionaires to make sure they remain on their best behavior.

ORACLE - One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Move to china you dick length.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 months ago

Larry Ellison is one of the biggest pieces of shit and Oracle can go fuck themselves.

[–] Revonult@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

He looks like the plastic version of Tim Allen as Santa from that Christmas movie.

Who's watching the billionaires?

[–] deadcatbounce@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Usual a few hundred who blow the whistle after the billionaire is dead.

They've heard what happens to formerly-live whistle blowers.

[–] positiveWHAT@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

The Smash Brothers.

Sure, it could, but should it? No of course not, a safe "utopian" society through force is dystopian and still unsafe (just now the danger is sanctioned, don't run afoul of Lord AI) in reality.

I'll take the possibility of getting shot by some dickhead over AI overlords watching my every move any day of the week.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 16 points 3 months ago

Leave it to the associopathic billionaires to take a look at 1984 and decide to use it as an instruction book.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Of course it is, because that AI will totally not be programmed to ONLY surveil the lower tier sub-humans, Riiiiiiiiiight ?

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago

A symptom of believing they are better than others.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Brb, buying cases of Guy Fawkes masks...

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

You oughta buy shares of the Guy Fawkes Mask Co.

[–] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Tim Allen with bad facial hair looking motherfucker

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 3 months ago

He's like if you made a hybrid clone of Tim Allen and Tim Curry and then had him raised by Josef Stalin and Ayn Rand.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I heard a guy tell a story about a vast AI-fueled cluster of bombs strapped to Larry's head set to trigger if he says objectively inhumane, anti-democratic shit can ensure Larry stays a lot quieter.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 27 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Larry Ellison says that North Korea and China are great countries to live in

You first, and then we'll lock the door behind you, you mother fucker

Pardon my French, but these scum of the earth should rot in hell as far as I am concerned. They are a literal cancer for this world

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Not only parasites, but they want to decide everything too.

Is that the unreleased prequel to that bowling for soup hit?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The rich really think we'll buy a prison as a utopia.

[–] Fashim@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

We're already in a prison

[–] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

They plan on us not having a choice

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Then we make total destroy

[–] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean that wouldn’t be my choice obviously! 😬

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Say what you will about the Greeks but their anarchy does get people to fuck with them less when they turn it up.

So yeah spread dissent and community and love and then gather your community to burn the methods of surveillance down

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago

Can we apply it to tax cheats first?

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 9 points 3 months ago

It will only ensure the opposite.

Want in resin pin form.
