I don’t know of anyone who isn’t in some way contributing some way or form to some rather dystopian practices, intentionally or not. This is not a justification, just an observation. Just by being part of any society and filing your taxes people can be “working for evil”.
The real crux of the matter is what you consider acceptable evil. The people who tell themselves they don’t accept any are usually the most intolerant. AI is a buzzword, but engineered intelligent systems are inevitable. We decide whether we want to let it be part of our society or whether we allow it to topple it. Either way, at the end of the day to most of us it won’t really matter if at the top is a silicon mind or a meat one.
