Oh wow, didn't know about this. If the kid isn't rich they probably won't be able to get that money from him. Yeah, social media is pushing people to do crazy things and it's quite destructive for the society. We took this genie out of the bottle, is there a way to tame it? And there's the AI genie, we'll see some very bad consequences down the line, im sure of it.
