You probably imagine some Brave New World kind of conditioning. Not to mention, those people will want their kids to have those traits.

No. That's like saying that the V2 rocket program helped keep a bunch of people out of the gas chambers.

We should absolutely do our best to make sure our work does more good than harm, not just that it does some good.

EDIT: I am sad to see your other comment below flagged/dead. HN does not like the idea that a lowly open source contributor could take their phones and computers away from them for petty things like genocide, murder or rape...
