Is there a viable space between the extremes of luddites and those who are looking forward to the future synthesis of human and machines?
Should one withhold ideas and inventions from public at large? (Time-capsule it, etc.)
(aside: throughout human history, many schools of thought sought refuge in esoterica and clothed their outward appearance in misdirecting, e.g. occult, symbolism both to (a) filter membership (as in spot the bozo) and (b) to permit a pseudo-public discourse that resisted penetration by the uninitiated.)
Are these concerns too much to burden the creative technologists? Should we just go with the flow and trust and hope that the actors that utilize our mind-products are responsible, humane, and thoughtful?
