Is it fair to say that this is similar to Richard Kennaway’s point? If so, see my response to their comment.
I agree with you and Richard that nanotechnology still presents a catastrophic risk, but I don’t believe nanotechnology presents an existential risk independent of AI (which I could have stated more clearly!).
Imagine an airborne “mold” that grows on every surface, and uses up all the atmospheric CO2. You’d need to be hermetically sealed away to escape it, and then the planet would freeze around you anyway.
