Joseph Weizenbaum once said to the question (paraphrasing) "If I don't develop evil/unethical thing Z, someone else will." with: "In city X every day there is rape and if I don't do it, someone else will." Showing how stupid this line of reasoning is.
- bondarchuk 4y agoBut that's stupid, if he does it there is MORE rape.
- noAnswer 4y agoSo not only will someone else do it, if you join, there will be even more harm. So don't do it!
- bondarchuk 4y agoWhich is a different situation than the one with developing some technology. If someone develops faceswap, and then someone else develops it too, we won't have twice the amount of faceswap-badness. edit: which is not to say that I think "if I don't do it, someone else will" is a good argument for doing something you disagree with..
