Why is it important? Do those arbitrary labels allow us to feel morally superior to those who make different choices?

  Because building 'GPS', 'LLMs', 'food preservation', 'vaccines' and 'off-road vehicles' is not 'arbitrarily different' from building 'cruise missiles' or 'F22 fighters'. They are completely different things. 'Tech' that can be used by the military', and 'weapons' are not 'arbitrary labels'. HN is the only place in the world where someone would try to conflate the two to make a point, I don't think it's reasonable.

    That's just your meaningless opinion.

      No, it's a substantially objective, and fully uncontroversial perspective. Given that, consider consulting with another actual human being, or even your favourite AI to help ground yourself a bit in those ideas.
