@ErikUden
Erik, has anyone asked Larry Ellison how much the price of eggs has gone down on day three of Trump 2.0?

ErikUden.mastodon.de.ap.brid.gy•34 days ago

@Guillotine_Jones Hahahaha, my god. People who wanted lower egg prices will be so out of their mind over this. With 500 billion USD we could've had free eggs.

@ErikUden

As long as it has full unrestricted access to all billionaires finances and correspondence.

Brokar.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy•34 days ago

@ErikUden China has a much better surveillance system than us! We want too!

Watch this and tell me you really want that. That and worse is where Ellison's fantasy is heading.

@ErikUden The Business Insider story is behind a paywall and thus hard to access

ErikUden.mastodon.de.ap.brid.gy•25 days ago

@olyerickson Terribly sorry. I'll edit in the archive link that was just sent to you!

@ErikUden Where is the difference to China?

Frieke72.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy•24 days ago

@ErikUden usa = china. Very little difference in this future

Frieke72.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy•25 days ago

@ErikUden
And they criticised the authoritarian DDR, where at least there was free healthcare and a good level of women's rights.

@ErikUden
Liz Truss, aka Rachel Reeves, (UK Finance Minister and all round economic and ecological ignoramus) will want one too.

@ErikUden
"Best behaviour", of course, is ambiguous and subject to, i.a., interpretation, controversy, and contradiction.

yacc143.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy•33 days ago

@ErikUden Sure, they can probably get a good discount from the Chinese on their social scoring Big Brother system.

Then they don't have to work out all the early bugs again.

stephanie.ottawa.place.ap.brid.gy•34 days ago

@ErikUden that's extremely terrifying.

ErikUden.mastodon.de.ap.brid.gy•34 days ago

@stephanie He said this as a response to how he e envisions his company's A.I. will be used for and how that makes money. Aiding law enforcement and the state in ensuring citizens will be on their best behavior.

stephanie.ottawa.place.ap.brid.gy•34 days ago

@ErikUden We already knew this was happening and would happen more. But, i don't know, something about the fact that they don't even bother hiding it now...

Azarilh.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy•34 days ago

@ErikUden Imagine your tax money being used for this shit.

Not only terrible for privacy, but also for the environment.

Dawilson999.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy•34 days ago

@ErikUden I’ll never forget reading George Orwell’s 1984 and thinking to myself, I can hardly wait until we are living in that kind of dystopia.

GhostOnTheHalfShell.masto.ai.ap.brid.gy•25 days ago

@ErikUden

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that deep state is getting a lot deeper real quick.

GhostOnTheHalfShell.masto.ai.ap.brid.gy•25 days ago

@ErikUden

China will deep six that fast by undercutting the cost.
