I don't buy the "raising awareness" argument, ethically speaking. To do that, you could release demo files that show the capability without weaponizing it through easy access. It'd be great to increase awareness around our vulnerability to EMP attacks, but we don't need to publish specs and or sell a working prototype to make that case.

This is just one of those areas where the negative implications, I believe, far outweigh the positive ones. Aside from the noble cause of helping the disabled, most of the use cases center around entertainment. As great as that may be, the likely application to fraud and the potential for a catastrophic misuse in matters of war and peace just dwarf any upside.
