I dropped in to comment on that bit too. You've described it well already, but I'd still like to add:
.. hypothetically, in the future. To be fair, in principle then it seems perfectly feasible that a sufficiently much more advanced nuke might invent an even more advanced nuke too, hypothetically, in the future.
Not really to detract from the rough direction of the argument in the post though, because despite the hype, imprecision and questionably declared speculation of the sort you pointed out, I think he's basically right to be concerned about the hazards of throwing even current and imminent "AI" into Humanity's communications and cultural evolution.
