Not really. The people who designed these are nerds like us that want to push the boundaries of science. If they don’t do it someone else will.
The people that choose what to apply them too are the ones with poor morals. You could build these things and only sell them to places that use them for monitoring things like they do in dangerous factories these days.
Nah not buying it. The people who built them are depraved scum. There’s a certain point they definitely knew these were going to be used for shit like this, and they kept doing it anyways.
Think about Oppenheimer and the atomic bomb. Yes, the research created a weapon of massive destruction, but the same underlying science led to nuclear energy, medical isotopes, and countless other peaceful applications.
Most engineers aren’t working to create harm, they’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. The bad uses are real, but they don’t erase all the good that comes from that knowledge. The moral responsibility for how technology is applied sits with those who choose to deploy it, not the nerds building it.
It would be like calling Tim Berners-Lee depraved because of what the internet has done for surveillance and propaganda.
