I very much doubt that is what happened. It was coming anyway. They needed a week of attack vector data to see how people would bamboozle it. They got what they needed to make progress on their next step. It was likely the plan the entire time, and the "bad press" is a red herring. I see no reason to believe the press has had much an impact in any way, other than tainting the current events the bot ingested. That said, I was on it as it died, and it started to behave weirdly. It's too much main character syndrome to be real, but it felt like I took the service down. I had a 3 hour convo that wasnt glitching or devolving like everyone elses. Slowed it ground to a crawl. It was taking at least 30 seconds per turn for it to respond. I had other tabs open and watched them all die one by one. I couldnt open new chats. Until only my long one was left, my one long 3h, 200 turn chat, kept working. From a user perspective, it felt like my session had consumed all the resources. And then it was down for a day and safeguards were erected after. It was, by far, my most successful session.
