Resilience seems to matter for human safety mainly via food supply risks. I’m not too concerned about that, because the world is producing a good deal more food than is needed to support our current population. See my more detailed analysis here.
It’s harder to evaluate the effects on other species. I expect a significant chance that technological changes will make current biodiversity efforts irrelevant. So to the limited extent I’m worried about wild animals, I’m focused more on ensuring that technological change develops so as to keep as many options open as possible.
How would technological change make current biodiversity efforts irrelevant? And by irrelevant, do you mean that the technologies reduce environmental burden and degregation e.g. by being more resource efficienct or that they would be actual new solutions aimed at reducing biodiversity loss?

Is there another link? I couldn’t open that one.
Does your analysis consider GCRs and tail risks through this century?
