Can't wait for a hallucinating AI to report me for assault because I hugged someone in public.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Maybe they should require everyone to be happy all the time. I'm just imagining everyone going around with freaky smiles.
I mean, he's a billionaire. I guess there's big money on propping up totalitarian regimes.
Let's start by putting up cameras in all his houses.
Maybe that will ensure he behaves all the time ☺️
Billionaire wants a totalitarian state, who’s surprised?
Well how else is he going to fortify his ridiculous amount of wealth from the unwashed masses?
Just gonna tell tweakers those things are full of copper
I saw a sign on each street light on a bike path in my town that said "these street lights use aluminium cabling because the copper was stolen".
Your plan will work.
Will Ellison and government officials volunteer to be observed for next 5 years to prove software?
(No.)
You want a dystopia? Because that's how you get a dystopia.
The fascists think they die happy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon
The panopticon is a design of institutional building with an inbuilt system of control, originated by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. The concept is to allow all prisoners of an institution to be observed by a single corrections officer, without the inmates knowing whether or not they are being watched.
Although it is physically impossible for the single guard to observe all the inmates' cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched motivates them to act as though they are all being watched at all times. They are effectively compelled to self-regulation. The architecture consists of a rotunda with an inspection house at its centre. From the centre, the manager or staff are able to watch the inmates. Bentham conceived the basic plan as being equally applicable to hospitals, schools, sanatoriums, and asylums. He devoted most of his efforts to developing a design for a panopticon prison, so the term now usually refers to that.
I suspect Bentham underestimated the nature of misanthropic behavior.
When you can get ticketed for speeding while your car is on the back of a tow truck:

Or a red light traffic ticket when your car was stolen:

And the police/courts won't help you because it's a problem from the private company running the cameras... I think we can see where some sort of AI backed camera network is headed.
A bandaid to fix this might be to setup an easy way for someone to dispute the charge. For every day that it takes the company to review the dispute, they would need to pay back the accused the same amount that they are charging them (with a minimum of paying them back twice the amount of the fine).
Even then, I'd rather cameras not be used in this way at all.
They will ensure a lot of smashed up AI cameras that's for sure
While wearing a mask that'll fool AI on top of a ski mask beneath it.
Omnipresent super-soakers full of paint will ensure they wont.
One of those spray paint cans on a stick they use to paint lines on the ground
Maybe I'm an outlier, but omnipresent AI cameras would ensure bad behavior in my case.
1984 was not a manual
Why don't you volunteer to be the test case Larry?
We need them pointed at every tech CEO constantly.
Theyre already there
What if we just get the AI cameras to “hallucinate” our good behaviour?
Oh for fucks sake can we please stop putting AI everywhere
they put that shit into water bottles... water bottles! Like they have a water bottle that can be synched to your phone and it's % shown on screen and it changes color at set intervals to remind you to drink. Like for fucks sake dude!
He proposed a shitty Art Park on Lanai, the island he bought the majority of, and wanted to set up surveillance to stop "vandals".
Worked on the plumbing for the fountains he wanted to building. Those surveillance measures never came to be, yet...
Why do we even care what these tech-bro ass hats think? We already collectively know his vision apply only to "poor people".
Shitty billionaire has a shitty take. Shocker.
Shitty billionaire
ah but you repeat yourself
Welcome to China
Like person of interest?
Fuck Larry Ellison.
Now he's going for super-villainy against people who've never even heard of Oracle.
If he really believed that he wouldn’t live in a gated castle.
AI camera VS. A .45 Magnum
Tune in next decade to find out who will win this epic battle.
Edit: Why does this guy look like Adam Sutler from V for Vendetta?
Yeah but what is "good" behaviour?
we should test edge cases to ensure safety, let's shove one down this guys' throat
