FWIW I think you’re completely correct. The use of that image was near as tone deaf as I can imagine. It almost seems intentional.

With a very charitable interpretation it could be said that it’s a warning, a harbinger of the callousnness with which this tech will be used - but the reaction of this crowd to your comment is bizarre, and concerning.

Wtf HN. Any of ye silent downvoters want to outline where you’re coming from?

All I want for Christmas is up- and downvotes being displayed separately. I don't care about the sum whatsoever. Thanks for hearing me.

I thought you brought an important inspection to what I had overlooked. And I don't think it's reactionary to find the use of that image offensive. You're right that CS needs to use art with a little more care because we aren't insulated scientists - we are part of society and culture at large.
