Bryan Cantrill's rant about Oracle for those who haven't seen it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc&t=2047s

> There has been no entity in human history with less complexity or nuance to it than Oracle. [...] This company is about one man, his ego, and what he wants to inflict on humanity. That's it.

With that money, Larry begged Jensen to take it and deliver him the GPUs. Onto the new grift. In yesteryears it was database and now it is AI. Benedict Evans always compared AI to databases. Oracle of AI is THE Oracle of Databases.

It's worth remembering that Oracle bought Cerner, a major EMR vendor, and that they plan to rewrite Cerner Millennium (the EMR) using AI.

Enjoy your hospital stay.
