Lets use it only on citizens who are billionaires to make sure they remain on their best behavior.
Larry Ellison is one of the biggest pieces of shit and Oracle can go fuck themselves.
A symptom of believing they are better than others.
Who's watching the billionaires?
Usual a few hundred who blow the whistle after the billionaire is dead.
They've heard what happens to formerly-live whistle blowers.

ORACLE - One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
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.
Should work pretty good if the IRS uses it for tax audits.
Leave it to the associopathic billionaires to take a look at 1984 and decide to use it as an instruction book.
This guy needs more luigi in his life
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
He looks like the plastic version of Tim Allen as Santa from that Christmas movie.
We don't need citizens to be on their best behavior, we need millionaires and billionaires to be on their best behavior.
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
Brb, buying cases of Guy Fawkes masks...
You oughta buy shares of the Guy Fawkes Mask Co.
Fascist fuck
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.
Move to china you dick length.
'citizens will be on their best behavior'
Compliant. He means compliant.
He's afraid of the masses.
I wonder why
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.
— Brian Cantrill
Hypothetically, if Larry was eaten, would other billionaires be on their best behavior and stop positing fascist control mechanisms?
There's a different solution that can ensure billionaires will be on their best behavior.
WAH-hoo!
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"
And now you know why everyone hates Oracle.
they just can't help saying the quiet part out loud
We need another Luigi for this asshole.
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.
