On the .mil side, there's not a lot that hasn't already been going on for a while. I'm not personally super tapped in on emerging threat systems stuff; but to the folks who focus on that domain, this wasn't much of a surprise.
Can't say know much about the think tankies' internal reactions though. Late last year I was subjected to a long APAC trip wherein I had to interact with many such creatures, as well as a few p*liticians and senior leadership figures. While I was promised that it would be the last time I had to do anything of the sort (I am now back to blissfully working in my lab), the experience was still deeply distressing to me, and I have no intentions of absorbing further psychic damage from the oxygen thief demographic. As a countermeasure against further interaction, I have begun directly insulting the entities and mocking their intelligence whenever one enters my attack range. It has been very successful.
