Thank you for adding various threads to the conversation Arepo! I don’t disagree with what I take to be your main point: benign AI and interstellar travel are likely to have a big impact.
I will say though, while their success might significantly reduce risk, and for a long time, any given intervention is unlikely to make major progress towards them. Hence, at the intervention level, I’m tempted to remain sceptical about the abundance of interventions that dramatically reduce risk for a long time.
