The difference is that ICBMs, cruise missiles etc. are in the hands of major organized militaries. The article doesn't complain too much about organized militaries using drones.

In 10-20 years, "small killer robot swarm" will be achievable for a single individual. It won't be as terrible as a world war, but I'm not looking forward at extremists randomly blowing up people with lightly modified COTS drones.

There's a Black Mirror episode on this IIRC.

Killer bees are in S02E06 "Hated in the Nation", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hated_in_the_Nation

There is another one with killer dogs in an apocalyptic wasteland (in black and white), S04E05 "Metalhead".

The short film "Slaughterbots" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HipTO_7mUOw) fits it even more precisely though, I'd say.
