Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

one of the great tragedies of our age is how many people are willing to view AI as magic because they don't understand how it functions but unwilling to exhibit any humility at all towards more important things they understand even less (like the climate or medicine)
