      If Oracle does this then they’ll probably remove their headquarters away from Nashville, TN (A city they promised to invest over a billion in infrastructure and jobs). They’re already struggling with attracting workers to Nashville, which is known as the healthcare “capital” of the country.

      Remember kids, ~~diversify yours portfolio~~ dump all your eggs in one basket with a questionable path to returns, and if you run out of eggs – sell the shirt off your back to buy more eggs.

      Are Oracle and SoftBank locked in a competition to see who can incinerate the most value in pursuit of funding AI slop?

      Or Larry could just tell David “No” and not give him his $120+ BILLION dollar allowance to go play movie mogul and use that money for Oracle…

      Larry Ellison is genuinely one of the most evil people around. He wants crushing control over people, he wants a social credit system, mass surveillance, and an automated penalty system. He wants TikTok to have massive facial recognition training, and wants news outlets to control the narrative.

      If AI really is in a bubble then him selling parts of Oracle to pay for it is the best possible scenario for humanity. Let him suffer to obscurity when it pops.

      Here we go. Yet another story about slashing jobs in favour of AI.

      This shit is just accelerating.

      This is a nice microcosm of the larger market these last few years where investment firms have shifted their money away from biotech and into AI (due to FOMO I guess)

      They forgot the main details is that now TT owns all of a content creator videos to trains its AI. The original user may post to FB or X but TT doesn’t pay the creator any money for the video

      This period of time is going to be very difficult to explain to my kid when she’d older.

      The Chinese will eventually dominate tech simply because the American form of shareholder capitalism is suicidal in the long run.

      Do Oracle still earn their profits from an overpriced RDBMS? I wonder what happens when government agencies discover Postgres. I mean, transitioning is a sensitive move, but there ought to be an inflection point.

      Sooner or later, the number of people with nothing left to lose will reach critical mass.

      I really hope this all ends out like when Zuck dumped an insane amount of money into the metaverse and it went under.

      All these companies are running ro AI no one wants. Many times telling consumers to f off as they will only cater to business going forward. They are going to be upset when that fails and they want to return to consumer and we all remember the f u they gave us and shop elsewhere.

      AI (which is not intelligent) will ruin everything and we will let it happen. This timeline sucks.

      Oracle 30,000, Amazon 16,000 (which is tied to UPS 30,000), Verizon 16,000, and Uber plans to unveil 20,000 robotaxis which is equivalent to easily double that in jobs imo. So who will be left to buy or use their products when everyone is out of work?!

      Uhoh. I see another round of java and database audits in everyones future to help fund AI

      The **problem** of all solutions is AI.
      AI is a nondeterministic parrot.

      Bring it on.

      I’m so fascinated and stoked to see how all these fuck ass companies intend to make money in an economy where no one works because all the jobs are automated or outsourced. Surely It’ll be the greatest magic trick of our time lmao

      Between UPS, Amazon, video game companies, government, retail and more we’re at hundreds of thousands of job losses
