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

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

Move to china you dick length.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago

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

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

Who's watching the billionaires?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

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

A symptom of believing they are better than others.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Tim Allen with bad facial hair looking motherfucker

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

We're already in a prison

They plan on us not having a choice

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Then we make total destroy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days 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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

Can we apply it to tax cheats first?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

It will only ensure the opposite.
