Fascist fuck
Hypothetically, if Larry was eaten, would other billionaires be on their best behavior and stop positing fascist control mechanisms?
You go right ahead. I'm not eating any of those assholes. They're only held together by hatred and bitterness. I'd assume the taste would be influenced by that.
But we still don't have to eat the fuckers. Just feed them to the swine, or something.
hence the expression: “as greedy as a pig”.
Nope. All their egos wouldn't allow them to believe that anybody would ever do anything to THEM.
Well then why has Elon been wearing his son like body armor all of the sudden since the United Healthcare asshole got got?
And now you know why everyone hates Oracle.
Oh you mean One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison?
Not heard that before, and I'm old. 🤣😂
That's fuckin' great!!
This is their best behaviour.
Actually there are good millionaires & billionaires (I'm being serious)
It's just that, they're no longer Millionaires & Billionaires anymore (Or Alive)
WAH-hoo!
add him to the list
He's been on the list for a long long time.
Dude looks like he's one line of coke away from a heart attack...
He looks like Tim Allen got in a fight with a hornet nest
HGH
Yeah, and a simple wooden construction with a movable metal blade keeps billionaires on their best behaviour. Or at least it did in the 18th century.
They didn’t have billionaires back then.
But people with comparable wealth at that time
Billionaires, royalty, that thing works on anyone really.
Very true! CEOs of insurance companies that indiscriminately murder and torture people are rarely billionaires, but they definitely can be used on them as well!
Want in resin pin form.
This guy needs more luigi in his life
By all accounts, Larry is a piece of shit.
— Brian Cantrill
Lawnmowers can be a piece of shit too.
Lawnmowers have the bitchiest machine spirits.
True
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
That's a real nice day to describe what is basically fraud
Literally 1984.
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.
idk, the gov't already has us under their boot
Time to wake those fuckers up!
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…
And by "citizens" you mean slaves.
On coins, on stamps, on the covers of books, on banners, on posters, and on the wrappings of a cigarette Packet -- [Big Brother was] everywhere. Always the eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, working or eating, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or in bed -- no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.
-- George Orwell, Nineteen-Eighty-Four
And even those few cubic centimeters will only be yours as long as we don't have the tech yet to access that. Once that tech is available, it's an inevitability that that too will be theirs
I used to think I was heading toward abject poverty as our bs systems were going into more bs but now Im getting more hopeful. Maybe I will be dead or in prison.
Free food/shelter or won't need food/shelter, whatever floats your boat champ

Compliant. He means compliant.
He's afraid of the masses.
I wonder why
Longing. Rusted. Seventeen. Daybreak. Furnace. Nine. Benign. Homecoming. One. Freight Car.
Желание, Ржавый, Семнадцать, Рассвет, Печь, Девять, Добросердечный, Возвращение на родину, Один, Товарный вагон.
Edit: I'm Finnish, not russian, lol. Fuck 'em. I just thought we'd do it correctly if we're going to go that way.
Google translate got me the below but I would not know how accurate this is.
Тоска. Ржавый. Семнадцать. Рассвет. Печь. Девять. Доброжелательный. Возвращение домой. Один. Грузовой вагон.
Toska. Rzhavyy. Semnadtsat'. Rassvet. Pech'. Devyat'. Dobrozhelatel'nyy. Vozvrashcheniye domoy. Odin. Gruzovoy vagon.
Sounds like someones vying for next in line.
they just can't help saying the quiet part out loud
Father Luigi won't you spare us from this clown
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti
We need another Luigi for this asshole.
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.
That dude was never on his best behavior. And now he wants to punish anyone that is going to out live him.
it is an attitude that happens to many rich old people; how dare you live past them and enjoy it.
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"
There's a different solution that can ensure billionaires will be on their best behavior.
Right, because billionaires will just fall over and concede - they won't have their government lapdogs impose draconian security and lockdown mentality on our whole society. Yes indeed, the action movie fantasy that makes you feel badass is a sure-fire winner.
That's literally what this guy is trying to do right now.
Yes it was sarcasm, although I'm not sure who you mean by "this guy".
It won't matter past a certain point what kind of tech they employ.
That's the spirit! Badassedness uber alles!
Zombies aren't real.
A symptom of believing they are better than others.
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.
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.
including YOU and other leeches?!
ya. didn't think so.
He's one of the owners of X, he and like 20 other people invested with Musk
One
Raging
Asshole
Called
Larry
Ellison
How about using it on the billionaires instead?
Yep, the more money/power/influence you have the more you deserve to be scrutinized and the more public your life should be. Once you hit $1B you shouldn't be allowed to scratch your ass or pick at a nail without it being noted on your public record.
Larry and his ultra-rich megawank friends can all go first and show us the way
Time to 3d these people.
Oh, I like this.
DVON GET THE
TABLESGUILLOTINES!!!The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison - God Doesn't Think He's Larry Ellison
Ah, the Panopticon. How novel.
Remember, remember the 4th of December...
5th of December?
I'm aware of the 5th of November and the 4th of December...
Long day, thanks. Fixed.
Can't forget the third of September! That's a day I'll always remember, yes I will, 'cause that was the day my daddy died.
Come to think of it, do you remember the 21st night of September? Love was changin' the minds of pretenders while chasing the clouds away.
Larry Ellison is one of the biggest pieces of shit and Oracle can go fuck themselves.
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.
So billionaires will pay the right amount of taxes! Oh wait!
Lets use it only on citizens who are billionaires to make sure they remain on their best behavior.
Larry "Xi Jinping" Ellison
Who's watching the billionaires?
The Smash Brothers.
Usual a few hundred who blow the whistle after the billionaire is dead.
They've heard what happens to formerly-live whistle blowers.
you hear a sudden beep in your ears
"Sir you've not been smiling. We really want citizens to be smiling!"
Leave it to the associopathic billionaires to take a look at 1984 and decide to use it as an instruction book.
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.
Brb, buying cases of Guy Fawkes masks...
You oughta buy shares of the Guy Fawkes Mask Co.
Well, if you own a world inhabited by a few billion people, you want to make sure they’re optimally generating value for you and not bringing down the value of your holdings.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Give the entirety of Lana'i to the Native Hawaiians via Hawaiian Home Lands and boot Larry Ellison out into the sea on a raft or something.
Queue countdown before this guy's skeletons come out...
Have you seen the documentary about him? Some of them are already on display.
I have no idea who this is. No
Come on.....don't be so dramatic.
.........we never got to see Brian Thompson's skeliton. We just saw him fall down.
1984
Is that the unreleased prequel to that bowling for soup hit?
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.
Of course it is, because that AI will totally not be programmed to ONLY surveil the lower tier sub-humans, Riiiiiiiiiight ?
Tim Allen with bad facial hair looking motherfucker
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.
The rich really think we'll buy a prison as a utopia.
They plan on us not having a choice
Then we make total destroy
I mean that wouldn’t be my choice obviously! 😬
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
We're already in a prison
ORACLE - One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
It will only ensure the opposite.
Can we apply it to tax cheats first?
The text is behind a paywall and I would actually like to see the details of what this idiot fuck said.
Here you go
https://archive.is/cOnPx
Should work pretty good if the IRS uses it for tax audits.
He looks like the plastic version of Tim Allen as Santa from that Christmas movie.
Lemme guess... Based on oracle no doubt. The wrong people are gonna prosper the next 4 years.
Oh, it's absolutely going to be written in Java. Storing data with Oracle DB. And running on Solaris.
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.
It will just mean that the citizens will ill-intent will find ways to use the same tools against the surveillance system.
Not to mention, most of the people NOT on their best behavior will be the guys running the companies and agencies running the system.
Broke guy Agent641 says a vast self-funded purchase of plastic water pistols and a sample pot of black house paint can ensure that Larry is wrong.
Move to china you dick length.
Hahaha this was literally the story arc of season 7 of Elementary.

i'm just gonna leave this here
