      Yeah. I know what y’all are trying to tell me. I’m just not so sure. Elon Musk certainly is a gooner and enjoys his AI waifus. Trump is kinda rich and he uses AI to put tariffs on penguins, does poop drop videos, pictures of himself… There are quite some silicon valley bros really invested in the thing themselves. Same thing happened with the hypes before. Sure I’ve heard the anecdotes as well how these people bar their own kids from using their products. I’m just not so sure if it’s more than an anecdote. I’ve read articles claiming this is a myth. And seems to me, at least some drug dealers do drugs themselves. Some maybe don’t. It’s also split in the general population. I mean I don’t need a rich role model to tell me not to do drugs in the first place. That was kind of my point.

        Okay, but it’s worth paying attention when what rich tell you to do is different from what they actually do in their own lives.
