I understand the concern, but I don’t think we gain much from vilifying scientific discovery because of what humans do with it down the line, especially a second order effect like this. I don’t think it’s super complex. Was it bad to discover nuclear fission because the USA bombed Hiroshima?
I think important discoveries well intended should be praised, and it’s a separate discussion why it was then used for ill.
