I agree, and you could go further with that argument. Most humans already live in the universe where there are powerful entities whose goals are not aligned with what they would consider ethical.
In the talk, Stuart Russell mentions funny examples like make paperclips as a goal, but if we consider the goal of maximizing monetary profit, we can easily see that it is already being done without regard to other values, such as human life, preservation of resources or biodiversity, or even any relation to production of anything useful (consider all the "financial innovations" that allow inflation of Ponzi schemes and bubbles).
And some people even bow to that goal..
