That’s fair, but I imagine X risks and S risks are very heavily correlated. Especially in regards to “speed of progress”, accelerationism will, in my view, obviously increase X risks (safety research takes time, the more time you have, the more time for research you have, the more research is done, therefore reducing risk) but also increase S risks (this is more personal opinion, but I don’t think the current leaders of AI innovation have stuff like animal welfare in mind. if we just keep chugging along, the first ASI might not care about animals at all).
