... attempt to garner "earned media" by a start up consulting firm that wants to sell their "expertise" to firms that are experimenting with agentic AI. They created a scarry video game made up of "non player" characters - GrandTheft AI - and publicized it as an "experiment." You can now pay them to keep what they made up themselves from happening to you.

Moral panic as a service.
