On your first sentence, not sure if you read footnote 3 - I believe I cover under the “value of the future” bullet point why I didn’t include this. (combined with AIs probably being moral patients).
And your three bullet points, very briefly:
From a longtermist perspective, not important.
I consider permanent stagnation pretty unlikely for evolutionary reasons, eventually factions that want to grow will be selected for.
Yeah it’s a factor, but AI just seems important enough that I highly doubt that it’s a major one.
I hadn’t read footnote 3! And I agree that the 2nd list looks less important from a solely longtermist perspective. (They may still be reasons that AI safety ends up doing significant harm though; I hadn’t realised you were taking a ‘strong longtermist’ stance in the post.)
Ah yeah, maybe I should have made that clear, sorry. The original post that the list came from did, and I didn’t think of that when I just copied the list over.
