While Einstein regretted working on nuclear weapons, the work they did there is equally responsible for the many lives saved by nuclear power, which he also appreciated. Also, it was the first 20% of the work towards nuclear fusion. Technology is not evil or good. Even this technology could be great. Jacky Chan, for example, is not going to make any more movies. But I want more of those movies. This very technology would allow that.

Does Jacky Chan have any saying in this? Or is anyone on the internet free to use his face however they like? Yea, tech is not evil or good, it's all about how people use it and so far, deep fake tech has only been used for evil. From deep fake porn to fraud. The only not evil thing about this are the memes, but we can live without deep fake memes just fine.

His technology might end human civilization or even the human race as we know it. > Technology is not evil or good. Of course, it's not. Technology is real. Evil and good are imaginary human-brain constructs.

The Nuclear bomb in itself was a lifesaver in the way that the US nor the USSR ever dared to attack each other (directly) because of the potential consequences. Without Nuclear bombs a "hot" 3rd world-war would have probably happened. Also no country who has nuclear weapons was ever (directly) attacked.
