But that person could not possibly have predicted the future actions of everyone else, and therefore it's a mockery of moral reasoning to hold them responsible.

What are we holding them responsible for? Was something amoral? They clearly made the first decision for better or worse. Now if there was a sign that said "No walking on the grass", they clearly violated something.
And that's just it. Humanity has carved a path that says, "Make as much money as possible with the least amount of effort."
These machines have taken something we already know is bad, the 90 day, quarterly earnings cycle, which had already obliterated our long-term thinking down to nanoseconds and we want it even shorter.
We have machines moving virtual money around corporations that use money to move real material around the earth -- and beyond.
That is the path we are on right now in this very moment.
Who is going to put a sign up saying, "STOP! Humanity Restoration in Progress. Please choose another path."
