       Ed Zitron has been on this for a long time, but good to see that the NY Times finally is digging into Silicon Valley OG Larry Ellison's sleazeball ways -- and his prop-up-Oracle-stock-until-it-crashes bets on AI. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/magazine/larry-ellison-ai-oracle.html

       @dangillmor I refuse to subscribe to the NYT "Log in to continue." to be able to read their article, which in the end, will just verify what I have already gathered. It is sad that they call it a "Gift article", though as I also speak German, "Gift" means poison 🤔 😏

       @dangillmor The Ellisons need to become paupers with NOTHING.

       @dangillmor Full disclosure: The 2nd half of my career was made possible by Oracle database and cloud technology, and I still really enjoy using and experimenting with the tech.However, Larry is one of the prime reasons I've disengaged from any more Oracle-related public speaking gigs. There's an old joke in our community: The difference between Larry Ellison and God is God knows he's not Larry Ellison. 🙄
