No such thing as bad publicity.

That heuristic is no longer unambiguously true for SIAI, now that it's reached the stage where many people have at least heard of it.

now that it's reached the stage where many people have at least heard of it.

Is there evidence for this? Or is it just personal experience/anecdotes?

The latter, but I anticipate (at even odds) that a current survey of a nerd-heavy online community (Hacker News, for instance) would show that at least 10% have heard something about the SIAI. What's your assessment?
