But lots of the interventions in 2. seem to also be helpful for getting things to go better for current farmed and wild animals, e.g. because they are aimed avoiding a takeover of society by forces which don’t care at all about morals
Presumably misaligned AIs are much less likely than humans to want to keep factory farming around, no? (I’d agree the case of wild animals is more complicated, if you’re very uncertain or clueless whether their lives are good or bad.)
That does seem right, thanks. I intended to include dictator-ish human takeover there (which seems to me to be at least as likely as misaligned AI takeover) as well, but didn’t say that clearly.
Edited to “relatively amoral forces” which still isn’t great but maybe a little clearer.
