I don’t think people here realize that this is an incredible opportunity, since the arguments are now going to be field tested with tons of people. It was written pretty efficiently here, too.
But mainly, it’s horrifically bad news, because AI safety is now in the hands of extremely nefarious shadow people using it at large scale for god-knows-what. Left-Right Polarization is the main bad outcome, but it is by no means the only one. There’s Russian bots out there, and they’re as bad as any nihilistic “for the lulz” hacker from that one trope.
Hopefully it peters out without doing too much damage, e.g. setting attitudes in stone in ways that will last decades.

The public will end up with a somewhat garbled and politicized picture. Which is still more accurate than their current picture based on some hollywood scifi.
Miri will carry on being Miri. The russian botnet creators aren’t smart enough to make an actual cutting edge AI, and aren’t as good at creating compelling nonsense as hollywood. Most people have a kind of ok perception of climate change despite the botnets and oil companies and green nuts.
