Funny thing about "best behavior" is that it's defined by whoever is in charge of the venue you're in, whether it's society ingeneral or a social media community. Somebody always dictates what's okay or not okay to say.
you hear a sudden beep in your ears
"Sir you've not been smiling. We really want citizens to be smiling!"
There's a different solution that can ensure billionaires will be on their best behavior.
This guy needs more luigi in his life
Police could already use drones operated by humans to chase people. It's already possible and already safer. For some reason the police don't seem to give a shit about that. Their leaders don't care, and their leaders' leaders don't care. But go ahead billionaire man with AI, change the world.
'citizens will be on their best behavior'
Compliant. He means compliant.
Longing. Rusted. Seventeen. Daybreak. Furnace. Nine. Benign. Homecoming. One. Freight Car.
He's afraid of the masses.
I wonder why
what he really means is that "me and my buddies are fucking everyone else and we are afraid that there will be retaliation so we need mass surveillance"
Father Luigi won't you spare us from this clown
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti
they just can't help saying the quiet part out loud
We need another Luigi for this asshole.
One
Raging
Asshole
Called
Larry
Ellison
So billionaires will pay the right amount of taxes! Oh wait!
By all accounts, Larry is a piece of shit.
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.

Oh yeah, I consider him to be the worst billionaire of em all, even "trumping" that muskrat...
Oracle, the official company of "Look, we're developer friendly now, our stuff is open source and free to use! Oh, right, you've activated my trap card, now pay 10k per every employee of your company because you used our proprietary JDK mwhahahahaha"
I thought it was Oracle, the company of “our products are designed for one purpose alone: to tick boxes on RFPs.”
I mean yeah but that's far less sinister than all their licensing horseplay
Ah, the Panopticon. How novel.
We don't need citizens to be on their best behavior, we need millionaires and billionaires to be on their best behavior.
Larry I am sure you will be on your best behavior as well.
Functional AI won't care how much imaginary wealth the meatbags have accumulated.
This man is dangerous and needs to go away immediately.
After 9/11/01, he said, "You have no privacy anyway. Get over it. We should have a national ID card database." (paraphrased, but that was the gist)
I'm not disputing that he's dangerous, but I'm pretty sure his comments are mostly driven by wanting to sell Oracle licenses. Which somehow makes it worse.
He's one of the owners of X, he and like 20 other people invested with Musk
Somebody read or watched 1984 and thought that's a wonderful idea. Or is he just trying to cozy up to the Chinese government? Or the drugs long term effects are kicking in? Who knows.
These people are fundamentally narcissistic and think they personally know not only how the world works, but also how it ought to work. You can see the somewhat innocent version of that in Apple's "you're holding it wrong" fiasco.
That kind of arrogance is kind of normal if you're a very intelligent teenager, since most of the people around you are indeed less intelligent than you, but most people get their reality check pretty soon and grow up. Business ghouls like Larry, however, never got their reality check. They managed to become successful early in life and still operate under that childish mindset.
But...we got video evidence of someone already having murdered a ceo. It didn't seem to stop the ceo from getting shot tho, remarkable. 🤔
Video surveillance doesn't stop crime, it only records it...
Well if red states are cutting access to porn, people gotta watch something to get their rocks off…
WAH-hoo!
Ellison made the comments as he spoke to investors earlier this week during an Oracle financial analysts meeting ...
Ellison said AI would be used in the future to constantly watch and analyze vast surveillance systems, like security cameras, police body cameras, doorbell cameras, and vehicle dashboard cameras.
"We're going to have supervision," Ellison said. "Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there's a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on."
Ellison also expects AI drones to replace police cars in high-speed chases. "You just have a drone follow the car," Ellison said. "It's very simple in the age of autonomous drones."
