A small dose of outside view shows that it's all nonsense. The idea of evil terrorist or criminal mastermind is based on nothing - such people don't exist. Virtually all terrorists and criminals are idiots, and neither are interested in maximizing destruction.
See everything Schneier has ever written about it if you need data confirming what I just said.
We forecast technology becoming more powerful and available to more people with time. As a corollary, the un-maximized destructive power of idiots also grows, eventually enough to cause x-risk scenarios.
