First hand anecdotes like that are some of my favorite HN things - thanks! But do you think we as technologists should be thinking about things like that? That feels icky to me. Maybe I'm wrong.

Technologists are people, too! I think we should definitely be thinking about those things. We have some pretty sharp technologists to point to who thought about the ethics of what they were doing as well. Those working on the Manhattan Project and the German equivalent[1] and come easily to mind.
