>A lot of our worst science and technology emerged from good intentions--charity, humanity, heroism, public works.
And then concluded:

I'd suggest to make a conclusion based on a deeper analysts starting with the question "Why?"... Nothing strange about it. For starters, aren't wars always sold with good intentions? As is AI now.
> We should all think extremely carefully about what we're contributing to.
What about to whom you're contributing to?
> Progress is inevitable, but as designers, builders and preachers of the latest technologies, we have a small amount of power.
How true, it's small indeed, for the sake of clarity I'll put it differently:
Don't bring design skills to a political fight - that's definitely not the way to success, big or small.
