Where you see “cash in”, I see their desperate attempt to put laws in place, to prevent this happening to another family; this was not an isolated incident where AI #ChatBots have harmed children.

How does hoping for a windfall in court put laws into place? I may have missed the activism from the family for the new laws. Thousands of murderers every year due to alcohol use, being the direct cause of the murder, but I don't see alcohol companies being successfully sued.
The lawsuit IS the activism - money is the ONLY thing that these companies understand & care about. Read it again - you did miss it. Then consider how you’d feel if this was YOUR child.
I'd feel awful, it's all terrible. But I'd know that it wasn't some random company's fault. It wouldn't be my first or 10,000th instinct to sue for money. But to each their own. There is a much lower bar they have to pass to win a civil lawsuit, so maybe they have at least some chance of winning.
