I don’t think it’s wrong to look at any technology and decide whether it’s worth perusing based on “how excited would hitler have been to use this”

Stuff like databases gets a pass, that’s just an essential thing. Stuff like AI and Flock obviously crosses the line into “could easily be used for genocide at scales never seen before”

Depends on the purpose of the database.

Yes, it’s the what not the how databases work
