Sisyphus is apt because he was "punished" by a superhuman entity for doing basically the right thing (from a mortal's pov). Doesn't it remind of alpoge, who tried to keep it as traditional as was possible? Nice one!
Then there were the brothers Epimetheus and Prometheus. One was a thief and one was implicated in the opening of Pandora's box. Who is an inspiration, who was punished? (With the caveat that it should have been climate-neutral electricity he stole, not fire.)
So the heuristic seems to be: if you come up on the wrong side of AI, you did the right thing. Ikarus was not wrong to try.
