It wasn't just a welfare program, but also a dairy price stabilization program??

sorry I edited this in a few minutes after my reply
It's basically Epstein Island but for blue collar and/or immigrant types instead of the elite, the victim is older instead of underage and the videos of the rapes exist.
Your comment convinced me @ffrreerree2 was right on the money to bring this up as a Culture War topic.

Thinking-style models I tried the same question on gave the 'wrong' answer, but had Thinking components specifically highlighting that the question was strange and must have involved unstated assumptions (either picking up materials from the car wash to do the work at home, or the car already being there).
Mine got hung up wondering why you would try to optimize 50 meters, it's too inconsequential a distance to matter for greenhouse gas emissions or exercise.

Congrats!
Stock some Pepto bismol. The sulfur burps can be brutal while you're coming to speed.
Lift and consume high protein.
My wife said I had bad BO during my major losing months. So I had to make an effort to shower more.
Good luck!

I linked this down-thread but there's notes about each of the convicted rapists in this case here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelicot_rape_case#Convicted
Do you see a pattern?
I'll admit some of these fit some stereotypes.
Nizar Hamida
Had eight prior convictions, including domestic violence and attempted abduction of his child with a former partner.[65] Said he went for a sexual encounter to celebrate the end of his bachelor days as his wife-to-be was arriving shortly from Tunisia.[64]
Mohamed Rafaa
Had prior conviction for raping his 17-year-old daughter, for which he was sentenced to five years' imprisonment. Raped Gisèle while the Pelicots were at their daughter's holiday home on the Île de Ré.[64]
Hassan Ouamou
Convicted in absentia having fled the country, travelling between Morocco and Romania claiming no intention of returning to France. Thirteen prior convictions in connection with theft, violence, drugs, and possession of weapons.
But to me it's not that solid a pattern. Plenty of these people have proper French sounding names and like they'd be familiar with Christianity.
The most solid theme for me is: losers and imbeciles with a splash of psychopathy.

Calling LLMs “wordcel technology” is backwards in 2026.
You can paste in a screenshot of a math problem that 99%+ of adults would fail, calculus, linear algebra, probability, geometry and it will solve it step by step, showing its work.
Not just arithmetic. Structured reasoning over formal systems. The same goes for logic puzzles, physics derivations, statistics problems.
They'll even teach it to you.
If your definition of wordcel now includes ‘solves multistep math from an image and explains it', then we're just not going to agree on the term.
I can't really imagine all of those men thought they were knowingly raping this guy's wife against her will. I have to believe he told them it's her kink to be drugged up and raped and then she wants to watch the videos later. Or something. This is a lame excuse but I can see at least a few pathetic horn dogs falling for it.
Now let me see if any of the men offered any defense.
Update: I'm back. A few of the men said they thought it was a role play situation and that they were led to believe this by her husband. But most of them sound utterly indefensible. So, I underappreciated the horror by quite a bit.
There's a full table here with notes about each man and their defenses, if available.

They kind of sound like the dregs of society to me.
But yes, what is there to say? You can find dirt bags to do sex crime if you look long enough. The were all publicly shamed and convicted. The right thing happened, at least. My update is France takes these crimes more seriously than I would have expected. Also the right thing.
I'm slightly reassured it was only 72 men over 9 years and not, like, a thousand. Suggests the candidate pool is not a vast ocean.
I was unaware of this article.
My attitude towards AI tools for the last 18 months had been "yeah they're useful but if you try to get too ambitious with them they waste more time than they save" and I was like AI 2027? Ha, try AI 2035.
But something fundamentally changed with the models in the last month. I'm low key freaking out at how goddamn useful they are now through Claude Code and OpenAI Codex.
Forget METR evals. My personal real world evals are that they're 6/6 on doing 2-4 week long tasks in 1-2 hours.
looks like something that costs $1000/hour to read
