All technological improvement under such templates and regimes are MORE than a just a potentially bad combination. You just can't see it yet or haven't already, but they will consistently find a way to fuck things further despite your good intentions / inventions. Sorry STEM.
The middle finger isn't for STEM, it's for people who are inclined to sit on it willingly and even enjoy, as well as those who think their creations can't or won't be used against them and never imagine it could give them the finger in return. It's by design. Which is the best genuine compliment I can give to STEM.
My point is we've gone too far in many things and no need for more of that.
I reserve the right to amend this slightly.
@freeschool there is an internet rule for this phenomenon (forgot the number). Basically it states, no matter how harmless a device is, there will always be someone to use it for malicious reasons.
@barefootstache @freeschool there's also rule 34 which is a left-turn in the same spirit.
