"Guys, TikTok's predatory and socially corrosive behavior needs to be addressed, so we require a company known far and wide for their impeccable integrity and commitment to ethics. Oh, hey, I know..!"

Edit: In case any of the younger TikTok crowd doesn't know who Larry Ellison is, let me summarize it for you: Run. Run as swiftly as the wind, and don't stop to look back. Whatever you liked about TikTok? Yeah, that's over. Stop reading this and just run you fools.

The old joke: Know what Oracle stands for? One Raging Asshole Called Larry Ellison

There is much truth in jest, as the saying goes

We're living in an oraclarchy.

Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising 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.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire

Time to leave TikTok. Now.

That isn't any better.

That's going to be a laggy-ass algorithm. Don't try to predict more than one video at once or the whole thing will freeze up.

wheres pj when you need to track a whole other set of oracle bullsit?

Huh. Not palintir? Color me surprised.

I will delete Tik tok once the sale happens. I encourage everyone else to do the same if you are still on it when it sells.
