    I’d argue the tech is never the problem - it’s always “how can a bad corporation/government make this neat idea a dystopian nightmare?”

      I’m worried that rich people watch black mirror and think: hey, that’s a good idea.

        Finally, we have built the Torment Nexus, from the beloved book Do Not Build The Torment Nexus.

          A giant death ray? A military application?

      I’d argue that little autonomous murder robots are never a good thing, no matter who uses them.

        Perception filters? Absolutely they could be used for good… Being able to put window dressings on your reality is basically the AR version of deep dive VR

        That episode fucked with me for a long time. She wasn’t his daughter, but he had no way to know. They took away his ability to see and tell right from wrong.

      If it’s built it will be used for evil. It’s simple. That’s why so many people insist on trying to make sure certain things aren’t built.

        Yeah but what if instead we didn’t react like that and looked forward towards making a world where that tech is fine because no one is trying to crush others to fulfill a misapplied survival instinct.

        And then you go and punish the people doing evil things.

        Not really. We don’t have to live in a society where every idea is used to extract wealth or exert power over others… We just happen to live in such a society
