You can say the same thing as we invented the atomic bomb.

Cool science and engineering, no doubt.

Not paying any attention to societal effects is not cool.

Plus, presenting things as inevitabilities is just plain confidently trying to predict the future. Anyone can san “I understand one day this era will be history and X will have happened”. Nobody knows how the future will play out. Anyone who says they do is a liar. If they actually knew then go ahead and bet all your savings on it.

I dunno, I take a more McLuhan-esque view. We’re not here to save the world every single time repeatedly.
