There's always a risk in new tech. There was a risk developing the internal combustion engine (see climate issues), there was a risk in developing the computer chip (see guided weaponry), and others but just those two examples fundamentally altered human society for the better. The argument that new tech has risks so it should not be explored is stupid, without new tech humanity stagnate with no hope of solving the problems facing the world today.

It’s possible to think tech in general is good while also believing certain specific technologies should be avoided. Nobody thinks Nazi experiments on human eugenics was a good idea, for example.
