Do you see any reason to believe this argument wasn't equally sound (albeit with different scary technologies) thirty years ago, or a hundred?
Thirty years ago it may have still been valid although difficult to make since nobody knew about the risks of AGI or self-replicating assemblers. A hundred years ago it would not have been valid in this form since we lacked surveillance and space exploration technologies.
Keep in mind that we have a certain bias on this question since we happen to have survived up until this point in history but there is no guarantee of that in the future.
