    Human history is unfortunately littered with individuals literally and figuratively dying to do stupid shit for attention, and I doubt any amount of regulatory intervention will ever fix that. Hell, not even radical genome editing is likely to fix it - I suspect it’s an emergent property of sentience.

      Text messages allegedly sent by Graven to his mother before his death paint a troubling picture. “I feel like I’m held hostage with their concept,” one message reportedly read. “I’m sick of it, I want to leave, but he does not want to let me, he keeps me from leaving.”

      That does not sound like “an individual doing stupid shit”.

        Really? Because it sounds to me like somebody just became a kidnapper, torturer and murderer for attention. Different person admittedly, but same old story.

        Unfortunately the writer chose not to focus on that and investigate, but just take a jab at the platform since that was easier and would get more clicks.
