You seem to be implying that they will be terrifying for the exact opposite reasons why the previous epistemic revolution’s philosophical implications were.
What do you mean by “exact opposite reasons”? To me, it seems like continuation of the same trend of humiliating the human ego:
you are not going to live forever
yes, you are mere atoms
your planet is not the center of the universe
even your sun is not special
your species is related to the other species that you consider inferior
instead of being logical, your mind is a set of short-sighted agents fighting each other
Followed by:
even your reality is not special
your civilization is too stupid to stop doing the thing(s) that will predictably kill all of you
