Yeah, I think that progress in nanotech stuff has been very slow over the past 20 years, whereas progress in AI stuff has sped up a lot (and investment has increased a huge amount). Based on that, it seems reasonable to focus more on making the development of powerful AI go well for the world and to think less about nanotech, so I think this is at least part of the story.
