I wonder about the psychology of the people (researchers) working on "innovations" such as these (other things also come to mind, e.g. face detection in crowds, optimizing fragment distribution from bomb/granade explosions).
Are they just extremely myopic, and cannot see the consequences of their work at all?
Or naive, in that they only can imagine the positive use cases?
...or (to simplify) are they evil and fully understand and welcome the terrifying outcomes?
