I still believe in AI and I believe many of these companies are going to be staples of this new era.
That said, I hope Oracle doesn't survive this transition. We need higher moral companies to usher in the AI era.
- kjreact 10mo agoCompanies with high morality, do those even exist? Which one of the big tech companies do you expect to work towards benefiting humanity instead of focusing on turning a profit by any means?
- ojbyrne 10mo agoDefinitely true, but Oracle is the worst, has been for decades.
- duxup 10mo agoBig companies? I don't know. I know plenty of small tech companies that really do care about their customers top to bottom. There's no magic way for anyone to validate that claim because if I named them, nobody would know, there's no way to really know these things anyway. But they exist.
- brandensilva 10mo agoThat's the point of having a government for the people by the people. But when you let billionaires take over that too then the people have zero protections from exploitation. If they cared they would invest in America paying more taxes, ensuring citizens are educated and capable of leading their companies versus offshoring and even competing with them. They don't want that and prefer their monopolies instead.
- fakedang 10mo agoAnd as an aside, let's deep dive into the kind of person Larry Ellison is. Guy literally bought out an island where he rules as almost-a-king. You can't do shit in Lanai without Larry's say-so, and if you move out of Lanai or you quit/lose your job working for Larry, your only option is to sell your home back to him.
- quickthrowman 10mo agoPlease don’t anthropomorphize Larry Ellison.
- r0b05 10mo agoTouché sir.

- giwook 10mo agoPatagonia. That said, they are the only example I can think of.
- siliconwrath 10mo agoMaybe Costco?
- surgical_fire 10mo ago> We need higher moral Like Google? Microsoft? Meta? Amazon? Those staples of morality? Or like companies such as OpenAI that just stole industrial amounts of copyright to train their models? Morality has left this building a long time ago.
- brandensilva 10mo agoI've never been a fan of Oracle to begin with given my love for open source but after Larry Ellison is out there preaching about a surveillance state America he became a "person I can ignore" to a "person a despise".
- insane_dreamer 10mo ago> We need higher moral companies to usher in the AI era I agree that Oracle scrapes the bottom of the moral barrel. But OpenAI, post-Altman-coup, is right there at the bottom with them. Not sure that Google, Amazon and Microsoft are that much higher.
