“citizens on their best behavior” “big brother is always watching”
Don’t sound very different to me
“People behave themselves in a panopticon”-rich people
Firstly no, people don’t. Second, they go crazy in one. And third, this basically breaks down the threads of both community and individualism to create a miserable nightmare
Breaking community and individualism is kinda a big thing billionaires want because that way people can’t organise to rise up against them.
billionaires who talk like this should immediately be committed. he’s clearly far gone, just fucking take him away.
Wait, isn’t this the father of Megan Ellison, the owner of Annapurna Interactive? The woman who just made her entire team so mad they quit.
Larry, AI didn’t stop you from stealing an island from the people of Hawaii
Is this what Ted Kaczyinski (the Unabomber) warned against?

“[Stupid rich person shit]”
–Larry Ellison, soon to be major shareholder of Paramount
in bad country the ruling class uses AI scoring system to ensure the compliance of the workers
So glad we live in good country where the ruling class are benevolent and would never do that to us.

“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.”
And if we entertained the idea that this was true and the core focus of this idea (it’s not) what do we think the chances are that the “appropriate person” will be one of two things:
-
Another cop
-
A subscription service digital surveillance company with that cop as a client that they report back to for “internal investigation”, as long as the bill is paid.
Like the police unions will ever permit the policing of the police 🤣🤣🤣
Even if his vision for the future worked perfectly (which it won’t) and wasn’t abused (which it will be, rampantly and immediately), it’s still a complete dystopian nightmare lol

That went well.
Emboldened oligarch in a plutocracy.
But also kleptocracy and really a kakistocracy disguised outwardly as an aristocracy or neo-monarchy as Raskin said.
Outside of just saying “America” or “Capitalism” How do we combine all of this into one satisfying, effective term?
I think that word is tyranny, if we’re sticking with Greek.
The first XKCD that comes to mind
Ellision sounds like the kind of guy that wants an unstoppable army of robot swarms.
Representative Jamie Raskin recently brought up the term neo-monarchy.
