I’m not universally arguing against all technology. I’m not even saying that an arms race means this tech is not worth pursuing, just be aware you might be starting an arms race.
Intelligence-enhancing technologies (like superintelligent AI, connectome-mapping for whole brain emulation, human genetic engineering for IQ) are worth studying in a separate bracket IMO because a very small differential in intelligence leads to a very large differential in power (offensive and defensive, scientific and business and political, basically every kind of power).
Okay!
