Not always, but sometimes….

In 2013, bakery owner Dominique Ansel created the pastry out of dough similar to that of a croissant (a pastry that he had been more familiar with) with flavored cream inside. The Cronut was introduced on May 10, 2013, at Ansel's bakery, Dominique Ansel Bakery, in New York's SoHo neighborhood.

Any new discovery that makes life better for one man, another man will find a way to use it to make life worse for another.
That is not necessarily true! Many discoveries are positively enhanced by other people for the benefit of mankind.

Discoveries are neutral. Good or bad depends on how they are used.

Guns are used by good people or good purposes. They are used by bad people for evil purposes. By some studies, the good use far outweighs the bad.

Even the atomic bomb saved millions of lives. Evil people will find ways of plying their trade as well as good people.

With the OP's images comes to mind that we survived the Cold War without anyone pushing the button! Almost amazing!

And many more are enhanced by others to do harm to mankind. Im trying to think of one thing that has bettered mankind where someone else has not used it for the opposite.
