Speak for yourself, I look forward to joining the resistance and shooting at them all day long.
Who are you kidding, the resistance is going to have open source versions of all these things shooting back.
Or the resistance will "jailbreak" some of these and turn them against their evil masters.
A crowbar would likely be a more effective method of dispatching them, from prior experience.
No, but what're you gonna do? Ban technology?
Burn the witch!
Limiting unscrupulous funding seems like the better option. There's no reason for DARPA and NIST to be what funds all the coolest tech, it could be some other govt sector.
