I apologise for being a bit glib here but: I find it obvious that it would be bad (in itself, ignoring effects on animals or the chance we do space genocide a million years from now etc.) if every human on Earth was suddenly murdered, even if it happened in our sleep and involved zero pain and suffering. And I think this is the normal view outside EA.
(I think your questions are excellent overall though.)

Thanks for answering, I respect your value about x-risks (I’d consider if I was wrong)
