I prefer the saying “technology is a tool and a tool can be used for good or evil” or something like that

You can use a hammer to hammer nails or to injure someone

Technology can make the world better if its in the right hands for example open source hardware & software

Agreed, but things act differently at scale and it’s not like there’s 10 billion+ hammers being used at the same time, almost all of the time, for years on end

You could say the same thing about splitting atoms.
