@smallcircles Far too simplistic. It seems like the equivalent of asking, are we complicit in destroying the planet by using an electric stove? Let's say I abandon all tech use, & instead merely indulge in abstract higher maths. Complicity remains. How far will we take it? If I merely farm food, am I not complicit, allowing engineers to survive and build the tech? Finding ways to protect our work doesn't address the problem, it just covers our arses with a fig leaf, while leaving front exposed

@coderjason Yes. No toot will be able to address the nuances that exist. You raise valid counter arguments to ponder. I think where our responsiblity starts is not to shun asking the uncomfortable questions and reflect on them. So at least we are grounded, and might be more open to find better ways. I responded with further musig to similar questions on the subthread here.. https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116316721014560422
