Yeah, I think we're speaking to slightly different aspects. The ideal solution is technologies being widely accessible, but with ethics and social considerations intrinsic to their learning.

Also not for nothing, there are still problems with existing technical barriers where the technical barrier isn't programming. Such as human sensing, flight control, process optimization, material science, etc.

3D printing is a great example. Everyone jumped on board the 3D printing hype without even asking if there were open problems in material science that still limit what we can create.
