We live in a very interesting and unusual time. It's not just about events that are happening now, we are at a point of bifurcation where the development directions of our civilization are chosen.

Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle and one of the world’s richest people presented his view on the ideal world of the future. Imagine a city with skyscrapers and cars, with thousands of happy citizens... each one being monitored by multiple cameras. Artificial intelligence online tracks actions, analyzes behavior and identifies suspicious individuals. At the slightest suspicion of a potential attacker are followed by several special drones.

The entire population is under control, which guarantees strict compliance with the law and social peace. 

Don’t you think it’s like some kind of anti-utopia? A world of total control with no privacy and an all-powerful state. It is particularly interesting to hear such a sentiment from an American billionaire, not, say, a North Korean leader.

Would you like to live in such a world? I wouldn’t.
