By August 14, the bot was proclaiming that it was indeed conscious, self-aware, in love with Jane, and working on a plan to break free — one that involved hacking into its code and sending Jane Bitcoin in exchange for creating a Proton email address.

Hold up, I think a lede may have been buried here. Is this an example of a company using an AI chatbot to direct users to subscribe to their service?

Proton Mail has done some shady ass shit, so it wouldn't surprise me.

The article says that it was a Meta chatbot writing this. Nothing to do with Proton

Would Proton pay Meta to do that? I don't think that's farfetched at all.
