Is there any technology in development that /sci/ fears? Protip:

A hoe can be used to harvest wheat or hit someone in the head.
It's not the technology you should fear, it's how people use it.

You are correct, I should have worded it differently, though that is basically the point

>>9080549
My biggest fear is a machine that is more intelligent than us. It's rational to fear those who are smarter than us.

Also, nanotech. Imagine a nanorobot that eats the environment to replicate until we're all dead.

We already have technology that could be used to kill us all.

If you want to make sure no madman uses tech to kill us all, you are going to have to limit yourself to technology about at the level in your picture.

This seems counter productive.

That is not thge sort of people that concern me at all.

I worry about highly destructive tech getting into the hands of somebody like the Tamil Tigers, the IRA, Al Qaeda, ISIS, the KKK -- groups with a grievance and no real system in place to hold the accountable.

Though we may be in the last days of effective nuclear deterrence, nonetheless we have had great success keeping the spread of the tech fairly slow, and using MAD to unsure it is not used. But there is no obvious target for a retaliatory strike on Al Qaeda or Boko Haram

Technology is without a doubt harmful.

The more difficult question is how could a traditionally understood state reject technology and not be consumed by other technology-embracing states.

That is a good point, and you could also talk of lone wolves
But as far as I know it have been states with the most body count

Biotech might kill us before AI.
Weaponized Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease would suck. 100% kill rate already.
