Does skipping the 80 years of computer chess development leading up to stockfish make this a worse or better analogy?

I don't quite understand it but the group of people saying "AI is an evil god that will destroy us all" and the group of people saying "I am building an even stronger and more powerful AI with an explicit goal of it becoming godlike" seem to overlap more than you'd think.

You're talking about the e/acc people like Beff Jezos who want humanity to be eradicated by the AI god they want to summon? It's only a contradiction if you assume they want themselves and humanity in general to stay alive or have any significant decision making power going forward. That assumption is not correct, they want the AI to have power and are either indifferent or actively hostile to humans surviving the experience.
