You definitely aren't wrong on that! The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
How about the Nobel Peace prize and dynamite? Explosives changed the wars..
How about now weaponozed drone wars?

In a way I still have some hope for humanity, because the Nobel prize was instituted by Alfred Nobel as an act of contrition after he realised how awful his invention was, even if it's become politicised in recent years. Oppenheimer seems to have regretted what he made.
It's definitely an issue with scientists and inventors; they're to quick to ask "can we ?" and not quick enough to ask "should we ?"
As for drones, my concern is when they mix drone swarms with AI. There was a recent USAF simulation (which they seem to have tried to downplay) where the AI worked out that it's human operator was hindering it's mission so "killed" him - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/01/us-military-drone-ai-killed-operator-simulated-test
Too bad the masses are so asleep.
