Depends on exactly which definition of s-risks you’re using; one of the milder definitions is just “a future in which a lot of suffering exists”, such as humanity settling most of the galaxy but each of those worlds having about as much suffering as the Earth has today. Which is arguably not a dystopian outcome or necessarily terrible in terms of how much suffering there is relative to happiness, but still an outcome in which there is an astronomically large absolute amount of suffering.

Good point, and it is consistent with CLR’s s-risks definition. :)
