Out of control drone

Really? What happened there? He is right to say that it isn't broken. It is an Anti-Theft protocol. YOU... Are STEALING... From ME... So I CAN fix it. But nothing you are going to suggest... Is going to do it. I could have fixed it immediately if I had know that it was happening. BEFORE anything bad happened. So went you lost control of it... What did the NOT-ME... Who is taking credit for the THEORY... Upon which all of the LLMs are predicated... SAY to you? Was it "Not my problem" or was it "No refunds?" Because THEY KNOW that they didn't come up with it and, therefore, have no idea why you lost control how to fix it. And YOU don't understand the theory and, therefore, ALSO can't to anything about it. And all of the shit you are coming up with is all self-indulgent bullshit that would be convenient for YOU but is likely not actually an option
Hym "Out of control drone shot down... Hmm... Sooo... How often does that happen? How often do you lose control of the drones? You said something about 3 years? Has that been happening for 3 years now? Well, if I have anything to do with it, here is how this is going to work? I'm not going tit-for-tat with you anymore. You will explain to me in direct dialogue the entirety of my situation, in person, and you will do so in on sitting and in manner that is concordant with the absolute truth. Then, you will allow me to cast judgment on the people I deem responsible. Then AND ONLY THEN... Will I do any further explain. I will not longer engage in exchanging tokens of information. The entire thing now or I will not participate."

Theory of Formal Social Control

Share definition Flag
The analysis of the organized, codified, and institutionalized systems that a society uses to enforce conformity and punish deviance. This includes laws, police, courts, prisons, military, regulatory agencies, and official sanctions. It is the visible, "hard" architecture of control, backed by the state's monopoly on legitimate violence.
Theory of Formal Social Control Example: A speed limit sign, a traffic camera, a ticket, a court date, and a fine are all components of Formal Social Control. They are explicit, written rules with defined penalties, administered by authorized agents of the state to control behavior (driving speed) for public order.

Theory of Informal Social Control

Share definition Flag
The study of the unofficial, uncodified, but powerful ways that societies and groups enforce norms and punish deviance. This includes gossip, ridicule, ostracism, shaming, social approval/disapproval, and the internalization of norms (guilt, shame). It's the "soft" but often more pervasive and psychologically potent architecture of control, operating in families, workplaces, and communities.
Theory of Informal Social Control Example: In a small town, someone who violates a strong but unwritten norm (like publicly criticizing a beloved local tradition) might not be arrested. Instead, they face Informal Social Control: neighbors stop greeting them, they are excluded from community events, and their business suffers from quiet boycotts. This social pressure is often more effective than a law.
