Larry Ellison wants to put all America's data, including DNA, in one big Oracle system for AI to study

A post from the reddit thread on this that led me down a "dark" (double pun in this case) rabbit hole:

Larry Ellison is either independently coming up with, or stealing, an idea from an authoritarian freak named Curtis Yarvin. From an article about his ideology:

Each patchwork would be ruled by a “realm”: a corporation with absolute power. Citizens would be free to move, but every other realm would also be ruled by corporate governments with chilling impunity. For example, Yarvin says the tech overlords of the San Francisco realm could arbitrarily decide to cut off its citizens’ hands with no fear of legal consequences—because they’re a sovereign power, beholden to no federal government or laws.

In “Friscorp,” as Yarvin calls the San Francisco realm, an all-seeing Orwellian surveillance system would enforce public safety: “All residents, even temporary visitors, carry an ID card with RFID response. All are genotyped and iris-scanned. Public places and transportation systems track everyone. Security cameras are ubiquitous. Every car knows where it is, and who is sitting in it, and tells the authorities both.”

Yarvin is a thought leader who influences many of the most powerful people in the world (and also a couple elected politicians).

Larry Ellison basically floated the idea of an AI surveillance panopticon several months ago.

Ars Technica: Omnipresent AI cameras will ensure good behavior, says Larry Ellison

This is not for AI to study. Ellison has been very clear on wanting to create a surveillance state. This is to oppress Americans

Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing 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.

Shit like this is why I'll never take one of those 23&me tests. I'd love to know all that stuff. But I don't want that data sold to assholes like this.

Eugenicist wants a big eugenics database, got it.

Seriously, people in the U.S. have to start using that 2nd amendment and start eliminating the threats to their country. Like this guy.

These are the types of people that James Bond used to hunt down.

How the fuck is this real life?

Creep

Why is it always people who look like they're midway through a heart attack that want to do horrible things like this?

insisted artificial intelligence is soon going to change everyone's lives "across the board."

Like in Minority Report, huh?

I wonder why a nazi would want to do that?

I mean, the most offensive part of this is that he wants to use an Oracle system. Hey, jokes make the dystopia a little less boring right?🤣😂😢😭

I have a similar saying for Elon…

Fuck off Larry

Well. Since Elon's already got free reign over all our federal data...

Seriously, how are the legislators so blind to what is going on?

Larry Ellison should fuck his own plastic face.

Iteration X is a pipe-dream.

No

Too late, Elon is already sucking up our data.

Guess all the oligarchs are getting envious of ol' FelonMusk and want to get in on the action...

? 4th Amendment?

I'd like all of him to be put into a tar pit for future paleontologists to study.

What could go wrong

How about you go fuck a frozen steel plate.

I hereby nominate Larry for the aforementioned shredder.
