Considering this was published on 4/20, I have to assume the author was way beyond even unintelligibly high when they wrote this. Ethics in software is a super interesting topic! Sadly, this piece does absolutely nothing to advance the dialog and reads like it's written by someone who spent less than 20 seconds thinking about the topic, who made absolutely no attempt to include prior art, before barfing up the unoriginal and completely passé idea that tool builders should be culpable for how people choose to use their tools, as if anybody actually has the authority or power to restrain downstream use cases of the free expression of ideas (as they pertain to programming machines) in a practical and meaningful way. Oh and BTW software automation is unethical, because, gah whothefuckcares why am I even responding to this piece...
