That's a fair analysis of those two lines - though I didn't say "anyone ".

For evidence for "uncommon", I would cite the GLOBAL CATASTROPHIC RISKS SURVEY RESULTS. Presumably a survey of the ultra-paranoid. The figures they came up with were:

  • Number killed by molecular nanotech weapons: 5%.
  • Total killed by superintelligent AI: 5%.
  • Overall risk of extinction prior to 2100: 19%
