[...] I think work that looks like ādifferent ways of categorising x-risksā can provide useful conceptual frames for thinking about mitigation through modularity. Some examples of this Iām aware of:
āDefence in Depth Against Human Extinction: Prevention, Response, Resilience, and Why They All Matterā (Cotton-Barratt, Daniel, & Sandberg; 2020)
āClassifying Global Catastrophic Risksā (Avin et al., 2018); and
I also note in that collection that āCotton-Barratt also discusses [the Defence in Depth] model, and rationales for building such models, on the 80,000 Hours podcast.ā
I previously made a collection of all such things that I was aware of. It only really has 5 items, the most notable of which youāve already covered. The other two are:
Causal diagrams of the paths to existential catastropheāme, 2020
Typology of human extinction risksāAlexey Turchin, ~2015
