I am not surprised that you feel Ellison is striving to "take over the world". That is probably not his ambition but with many folk like him there appears to be a strong drive to succeed, if not necessarily to always be on top. I observed this facet of him when he involved himself in The Americas Cup. His catamaran was trailing Team New Zealand when Ellison introduced an innovation in the form of software which controlled the foils on which the yachts "flew". Software I understand he purchased from Boeing. Skippered by Australian Jimmy Spithill the Oracle entry won the next 7 races on the trot to take the Cup from New Zealand. Is it an intent to "take over"? Or is it a powerful drive to succeed that most people cannot match? It is not surprising that such as Ellison will see AI as a huge opportunity.
