Before one speculates this has greater societal ramifications: They had 276 people play 2 rounds of a video game where bots helped, harmed, or didn’t interact with the player. Only players who were first harmed by bots continued to exhibit “harming” (a mechanic that removes players from the game) into round 2 even when bots stopped doing anything. Based on this super narrow definition I would hesitate to say this says anything on a societal scale.
