It's definitely not looking good. Now that we have more open source models, for better and for worse, we have to worry about politically motivated amateur's and vigilantes too.

Mostly agree. We all know how awful swatting has been for many victims. Also personalized scams and deception at scale. I also worry about homebrew automated weaponry used for cowardly terroristic purposes and how that could imaginably be around the corner. It's a pretty scary topic to consider the depths of what can be done by individuals using these tools without regulations.

It's a little different now. Someone can deepfake or even face swap videos/images/audio and send an angry mob to someones house. Or be convinced to handle matters themselves...

"Pictures/videographic evidence doesn't lie" isn't as true now as it was 30 years ago at the amateur level. Especially with coercion and human flaws.
