With regards to your point on harms of population collapse. My belief is that changes to population structure that increases the ratio of non-working-to-working people increases the likelihood of permanent recession. I can only think of negative consequences for this outcome. The promise that a reduced labour force will not lead to recession due to compensatory large-scale automation from AGI within the next 20 years is something I do not weight as highly as others.
