I guess I'm saying that it doesn't seem so straightforward to me.
I think that "depending on the specialization of the technology for the purpose of doing something evil" merely shifts the question to multiple questions:
1. What does "specialization of the technology" mean?
2. Can technologies have multiple specializations?
3. What does evil mean?
4. Even if we had a perfect translation between "specialization" and "evil," if a technology has multiple specializations, which controls? The most evil? Does this require us to predict which specializations are most likely to be used?
