He was all for working on things like this “because it’s cool and there’s good money in it”.
I tried pointing out that that would mean he’d be living in a future full of death robots, but apparently that wasn’t a consideration.
Twenty years later and I note that the IET, along with all other UK engineering bodies, is rather keen on ethics. I’m guessing he’s not a member.
