I think they mean we don’t have a deathstar. We can make the atoms here shitty. We can’t annihilate them or scatter them out of their own gravity well.
Life in theory could restart with our weapons, but what’s the point with the other scenario.
Being scared about novel AI weapons sounds like the people who were scared that turning on the LHC would create a black hole that would suck in the Earth.
The most important difference is that this time it's the people who know the most about the topic who are concerned, and the people who know the least about it who are blasé. (Also, Yann LeCun.) With the LHC it was the other way around.
If you truly believe this, I am begging you to touch some grass, preferably very very far away from Silicon Valley. It’s nice out here.

What a silly distinction to make.
