If this is right, then I'd consider it probably a good thing, as it'd serve as a wake-up call that could result in calls for more regulatory action and/or greater demand for safety, before anything really catastrophic happens. That said, there are lots of ways it could fail to work out that way.

(Note that I'm primarily talking about the "lots of people are running highly privileged agents that could be vulnerable to a mass prompt injection" angle, not the "human psychology is the exploit" thing, which I think is not a particularly novel feature of the present situation. Nor the "Reddit data implicitly teaches multi-agent collaboration" thing, which strikes me as a dubious claim.)
