    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”.
