   do you remember the shocking research, how rich adults are smarter than poor adults, and this is decided in childhood and relates to rich peoples' ability to sit next to a marshmellow without eating it when they're told they're allowed to but to try not to?

   And it just kind of turned out later they were measuring the fact that rich children get to eat a lot of marshmellows, and if it's smart to be rich then you're going to call rich people smart.

   This, but LLM product ads.
