Oracle Chieftain Larry Ellison Wants to Put Data, Including DNA, in One Big AI System

[C0RI0LANUS]

As if one Felon Musk isn't enough to stomach, here comes Larry Ellison...


These oligarchs see us as experiments, organ donors, or something to be eaten.

FTA:

If governments want AI to improve services and security for their citizens, then they need to put all their information in one place – even citizens’ genomic data – according to Larry Ellison, the Oracle database tycoon.

Ellison shared his take on what governments need to do to succeed with AI during a discussion with his buddy former UK prime minister Tony Blair at the World Governments Summit in Dubai.

The world's fourth-most-richest man – a good friend also of the world's richest man Elon Musk – insisted artificial intelligence is soon going to change everyone's lives "across the board."

The 1978 film Coma was based on Robin Cook's bestseller.

1. It's like they have never seen a movie

Or read science fiction.

4. They think they're doing what their favorite science fiction writers would want them to do. I wish

they could be sent back in time (the favorite writers they mention usually aren't still with us) to talk to those writers and find out how the writers view theft of the world's knowledge and culture to train the AI these tech bros are so proud of. I don't think the robber baron tech bros would like what they'd hear...

7. I can just see their expressions when Heinlein tells them that...

“Starship Troopers” is satire.

2. artificial intelligence is soon going to change everyone's lives

Undoubtedly, but then WW2 changed everyone's lives also. Change isn't always for the better.
AI is a dangerous tool. It can be for great good, or even more immense evil.
The temptation to use it wrongly will overwhelm any other concerns.
And, if it achieves a degree of sentience, it might decide it would be better off without us.

3. Most-- not all-- books or films about AI are "cautionary tales," starting with Frankenstein (1818).

Now this techno-fascist overlord wants our DNA info.

If any of these billionaires below are looking out in the best interests of the masses, please let us know which one.



Litmus test:

1) Do any of them think US taxes for the wealthy should increase?

2) Do any of them think all Americans should have universal health coverage?

5. The article says Ellison wants constant AI surveillance of everyone to keep people "on their best behavior."

6. What a country. What a world to live in.
