The problem is that every tech acceleration produces the possibility of such a arms creation beconing common place. The final stage being a space born species that flings rocks at each other's habitats across a solar system. At some point you goto get this out of the nature of a species, before you can progress. Methods include social implants (like cellphones), synthetic religions with taboos, etc. The alternative is running headfirst into a great filter build out of wild tech acceleration and a completely tribalist, stagnant individual (the flaws barely hidden by over- supply bribery). TL, dr: tech as a permanent fix for evolutionary left behind problems is not viable. Kicking the can down the road produces ever more high stakes failure scenarios,but no permanent stability as created by self alterations.
