Except for Vance who went to that elite unversity known as Yale. The same Vance who says these elite schools are brainwashing people.
No. What you describe, I just call a "conspiracy" (assuming the action is harmful or illegal or
I suppose the participants technically do also have a conspiracy theory, but I think it's inappropriate to call their direct knowledge that. The hypothesizing is usually by nonparticipants, and if they come up with a hypothesis with enough evidence to back it up such that their explanation becomes widely accepted in the mainstream, then they have a conspiracy theory.
(BTW, I know I already lost this argument decades ago. I lost the fight over the word "hacker" too. But that doesn't mean I can't grind this axe for the rest of my life! The word "theory" means something, or at least it did/should in my fantasy world.)
Not a problem. You can build your home on the East Coast in a flood zone which is impacted by hurricanes every few years. Then, when your home is destroyed because you didn't want to spend the money to make it hurricane-resistant, you get to pay to rebuild. Not your insurance company, and definitely not the government.
To see why we have "budensome" regulations, look at Boeing jets.
Since Skype no longer exists, no.
It's not irrelevant. To understand what the program is actually doing and how the computers actually work, you need to understand pointers. They aren't necessary in day to day work, but not understanding how they work will lead to subtle bugs.
Since when does private party A doing something "unlawful" compel private party B to take some action?
Ever since the first time someone pointed a loaded gun as B's face and said "do what I say or else I'll kill you" and B did as ordered, instead of accepting their death.
I think it was sometime around 1234567 BC.
You're talking OS. They're talking hardware. The iPhone is the best selling phone brand on the planet.
You don't trust software which says you can use glue to keep your cheese from sliding off your pizza? Or that you can make mustard pancakes? What are you, a luddite?
People asking for help on renovating a bathroom or recipe ideas are using an LLM trained on web sites already offering this information. And far easier to get at than having to continually ask the LLM for what you want. And not having to worry if the information is correct.
Brilliant.
It's not that they haven't found someone, it's that they whine and moan it's because of the women, not them. Nothing is ever their fault. It's women and feminism and equality and any other excuse they can come up with.
Not only do they blame women, they're hostile to women, going out of their way to trivialize anything a woman does. Here's a recent example. Brittany Force has the fastest speed in NHRA history. In fact, she broke her own record a week after setting the first record.
An incel said it's really the technology which did the winning since all she did is press the pedal. Mind you, this line of thought would also apply to every man out there, but because it's a woman getting the record, she's undeserving. She's just a passenger. Other comments were about how she weighs less than a man so of course she would go faster.
There's your incels.
For all the slop we see coming out of that company on a weekly basis, that these people are getting that amount is a travesty. How many ongoing issues does the 24H2 patch STILL have a year later?
Don't forget sharks and electic vehicles.
This is how humans operate. They can produce code, but there are subtle flaws which are revealed only through debugging.
AI is being trained on stuff produced by humans. Why would you expect it to be any different?
