Interesting… So the first scenario is an x-risk that we would want to increase.
edit: I had sort of written about this in a separate post but I was told that scenario one is extinction risk and not x-risk. Slightly confused but I agree with you based on the definition of x-risk I used.

This is getting into button-pushing territory. “Would have wanted to increase were we certain of the future being much worse”, maybe. But I don’t think we can ever be certain enough.
Re extinction vs existential, I’d say it is both (extinction being a subset of existential).
