Yup, well said. I think it's important to remember sometimes that Skynet was some sort of all-powerful military program -- maybe we should just, y'know, not do that part? Not even to win a war? That's the hope...

More generally/academically, you've pointed out that this covers only half of the violence problem, and I'd argue there's actually a whole other dimension at play bringing the total number of problem areas to four, of which this just the first:

  ## I.1. Subservient Violence
  ## I.2. Subservient Misinformation
  ## I.3. Autonomous Violence
  ## I.4. Autonomous Misinformation

But I think it's a lot harder to recruit for an AI alignment company than it is to recruit for an AI safety company.
