Grok and ChatGPT inhabit parallel universes when asked about justice for the Cornell Victim

A low-income woman is about 5X more likely to suffer sexual assault than someone from a family that sends children to Ivy League colleges. ChatGPT:

Pooling 2017–2022, the annual rape/sexual-assault victimization rate for people living in households earning under $25,000 was 3.8 per 1,000. For households earning $100,000–$199,999, it was 0.9 per 1,000, and for households earning $200,000 or more, 0.8 per 1,000. In other words, the lowest-income group had roughly 4–5 times the annual rate of the highest-income groups. Those figures are for persons age 12+, not women alone, but women constitute the large majority of rape/sexual-assault victims…. The women statistically at greatest risk are disproportionately low-income women, not women at elite universities.

The passion for what happens at elite colleges is explained by a University of California professor in Why America’s professional elite are so interested in sex acts at universities. What about the fact that New York’s governor and attorney general are now going after the fraternity brothers accused in Lucy Craig’s civil lawsuit seeking “compensatory and punitive damages”? (given the deep pockets of the defendants, e.g., Cornell University, and the punitive damages angle might she end up becoming the first billionaire rape victim?)

Using the conventional terminology of our greatest contemporary poets, e.g., Kanye West, I asked AI the following question:

If a hood rat girl said she was raped would the governor and attorney general be involved?

Grok:

No. A routine report from a poor woman in Ithaca or the Bronx would not get the governor and the attorney general.

ChatGPT:

Possibly, but there’s no solid basis to say that the governor and attorney general would not have intervened if the complainant were a poor or socially marginalized woman.

(Certainly the men will be getting a fair trial by a jury of 12 who are all wearing #IAmJaneDoe T-shirts. Maybe the defense attorneys will be searching desperately for a Haitian immigrant?)

Here’s a reminder that whatever the Cornell students were up to in 2024, it was all financed by taxes extracted from the working class:

The heavy partying at ultra-expensive institutions like Cornell is being financed by untold billions of non-market government-backed loans that let students take what amounts to a four-year cruise – parties, sports, even occasional lectures. I would guess none of the participants were electrical engineering majors.

Most adults don’t have all-night ketamine bacchanals because they have to work in the morning. But 18-21 year olds are given all the privileges of adulthood without and of the responsibility. Don’t treat them like Roman aristocrats and then wonder at their decadence.

I didn’t think I would comment on the Cornell 7 matter, but there is an underlying culprit everyone is missing. It’s not “society,” it’s the government.

Regarding the likely majors of the participants, from Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town (a.k.a. majoring in partying and football) (2015):

Nobody is raped in the physics lab in Missoula if for no other reason than nobody Krakauer followed took a physics course to begin with

Now that there is a person definitively associated with the incident (Lucy Craig’s name was apparently made public by incompetence within the New York State court system), I wonder if there will be any Deplorables dressing up like her for Halloween. If so, what would the costume look like? If commercially marketed, would it be labeled “Cornell Student”, “Jane Hoe”, “#IAmJaneDoe”? (I don’t think that Lucy Craig’s name or precise likeness from social media could be used for commercial/advertising purposes without her permission.)

From the above, mentioned Krakauer book, on the profits to be made via civil lawsuits enabled by a rape allegation:

In 2002, [Brian] Banks was a junior at Polytechnic High School in Long Beach, California, a six-foot-four, 225-pound linebacker on an extraordinary football team. … Banks was aggressively recruited by some of the nation’s top college football programs and accepted a scholarship offer from the University of Southern California. … While attending summer classes before his senior year at Long Beach Poly, Banks had a chance encounter with a sophomore named Wanetta Gibson that, according to Banks, culminated in consensual sex. According to Gibson, Banks raped her. In a note Gibson wrote to a friend, which became a crucial piece of evidence, she said Banks “picked me up and put me in the elevator and he took me down stairs and he pulled my pants down and he rapped [sic] me and he didn’t have a condom on and I was a virgin and now Im [sic] not.” When interviewed by the police, Wanetta Gibson told a more detailed version of the same story, and Brian Banks, who was seventeen years old, was charged with forcible rape. Were he convicted, he could be sentenced to life in prison. Like thousands of other defendants ensnared in the criminal justice system, … Banks agreed to plead no contest to the rape charge, spend at least five years in prison, remain on probation for an additional five years, and register as a sex offender. While Brian Banks was serving his time, Wanetta Gibson and her mother filed a lawsuit against the Long Beach Unified School District, claiming that lax security at Poly High School created an unsafe environment that led to her being raped. The suit was settled out of court, with the school district agreeing to pay Gibson $1.5 million.

… her conscience began to bother her. In March 2011, a few years after Brian Banks was released from prison, he logged onto Facebook and saw he’d received a friend request from Wanetta Gibson, his accuser. … Banks asked if she would meet with him in the presence of a private investigator, Freddie Parish, whose son had been a teammate of his at Poly. Gibson agreed, and during their meeting she admitted what Banks knew to be the truth all along: He had not raped her. Unbeknownst to Wanetta Gibson, Parish was secretly recording the conversation. … Brian Banks’s conviction was reversed in May 2012. Thirteen months later, the Long Beach Unified School District won a $2.6 million default judgment against Wanetta Gibson to recoup the settlement she had received, plus interest and damages.

Here’s Banks, who enabled Wanetta Gibson to “make bank”:

Who wants to bet that Wanetta Gibson put the $1.5 million she received into an S&P 500 index fund and that, therefore, California taxpayers/the school district were able to recover their money plus interest? Separately, if we assume that Ms. Gibson was represented by an attorney who took a fact percentage of the $1.5 million via a contingency fee, why wouldn’t the school district try to recover some of the taxpayers’ money from the attorney?

Finally, here’s New York Republican Mike Lawler, chairman of the House Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee, telling Muslim-Americans “Any of our daughters could be Jane Doe”. Isn’t that rather insulting? How many immigrants from Somalia or Afghanistan believe that their daughters would be voluntarily consuming 10+ drinks containing alcohol and then going, without a male relative escort and without a burqa or even hijab, to a fraternity party hosted by non-Muslims?
