Maybe Ellison should lead by example and share all his fucking data

I'd rather spend my life in prison for an attempt to destroy their surveilance than be on my best behaviour. It's only white collar crime that goes unpunished? Fuck you big brother asshat!

Oh. I thought aligning our goals/interests and making sure everyone had something to look forward to while making them feel supported and invested in their world was the way to put people on their best behavior. But I guess it's violence. Good to know!

In light of this: Kill a tech worker. Make it horror shit. Don't just walk up with a gun, take a long shot, rig a car bomb, poison a bagel. Something out of scope of their normal reflexive paranoia. Make it violence not only against the body you destroy but the perception of the others. Violate them. Make everything a threat. I guess. This sounds like so much work, why can't we just have meetings? Nice, catered, meetings?

I can't wait for Gary Cole to play Ellison in the biopic about his decent into madness with the rest of the techbro set.

Thankfully both Oracle and Larry Ellison are going to go bankrupt because they bet the farm on AI and they're going to lose it all
