Look, that 5'7" guy from high school who made varsity linebacker strictly because he was an aggressive psycho, who's now divorced and has CTE and spends all his time on Facebook when he's not scoring DUIs?

I could see "lobbying blitz" being not so much "hey general public, the AI that lies and produces child porn and encourages you to commit suicide and will take your job and drives up your electric bill and uses all your water is actually awesome" and more "hey state senator, here's some money"
