Pablo, I submit you haven’t thought carefully enough about the nature of the postbiological future. Once humanity has the capacity to preserve and emulate minds, those minds are as impervious to x-risks as is the entire network of backups. Once minds are stored redundantly and both on and off Earth, x-risks themselves become negligible. There is something deeply accelerative and protective of advanced complexity in our universe that is typically ignored by the x-risk community. It doesn’t serve their fundraising and political purposes to see it, and it is truly weird vs. biology’s dependence on planets, suns, etc.. Yet it is apparently (most likely, the default model) how evolutionary development works, on all Earthlikes in our universe. We just need the courage to see and learn from it.
