Related. I had a rich older lady rear-end me once in her Mercedes coupe. Low speed in traffic moving through an intersection - but enough damage that I could see insurance would have to get involved. Cars in front of me are gridlocked, I get out and ask her if she's ok.

She says, "why did you stop?!". I'm a sarcastic bitch so I said - "see those cars in front of me? I can't drive through them." Her: "you hit my car!". Me: "uhhhhh (brain loading).. I was stationary, and in front of you. How can i have hit you?". Her: .. Me: "Look, the damage isn't bad, it's no big deal - insurance can sort it out. Accidents happen."

Her in her most patronising private school accent she could muster, "I don't have accidents".

Gotta admit that one threw me. I'd never heard that level of privilege, simply defying reality. We pulled aside when traffic started moving and she called her husband and handed the phone to me (I guess he's the fixer in the relationship).. he was more reasonable and we got details exchanged etc, but that conversation stuck with me.

She doesn't have accidents - all her collisions are on purpose.

Yep, I’d that reality distortion field that really makes it special and creepy, not heat because their greater wealth allows them to support the distorted sense of reality, while also likely demanding more of it so that they can fit in with their wealthy social class.

They just live in a complete different world,a world where any other human being around is there to serve them

Cops tend to believe whomever is whiter, then whomever is richer.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
