With all due respect, a lack of curiosity towards the moral implications of how tech is used in the world is an extremely irresponsible take for anyone working in the tech industry, which is presumably a large cohort here in Hacker News.

If you happen to be part of this cohort, you should absolutely always question the moral implications of any project you work on, and you're in a better position than the average person to fully explore the possible ways tech can be used and abused. I'd argue that should be considered one of the primary purposes of Hacker News.

I was being facetious.

And I assume the only reason this thread hasn't been flagged like every other "political" thread is that the current top comment references Dune.
