It really bums me out that I keep seeing blog posts from technical people like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical implications of LLMs, I'm interested in evaluating whether they can be useful for my work."

Like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical concerns of breaking into my neighbours' houses, I'm interested in evaluating whether this can be useful for acquiring other people's valuables."

@Joshsharp reminds me of my friends who care about animal welfare but do research on health impacts of different diets "Putting aside the obvious moral and ethical implications of eating animals, I'm interested in evaluating whether non-vegan products like meat could be useful for my health."
