“Other (AI-enabled) dangerous tech” feels to me like it clearly falls under “exacerbating other x-risk factors”
I was trying to stipulate that the dangerous tech was a source of x-risk in itself, not just a risk factor (admittedly the boundary is fuzzy). The wording was “AI leads to deployment of technology that causes extinction or unrecoverable collapse” and the examples (which could have been clearer) were intended to be “a pathogen kills everyone” or “full scale nuclear war leads to unrecoverable collapse”
Thanks, I agree with most of these suggestions.
