No that was just a super rough estimate: world GPD of ~100 Tn, so 1 decade’s worth is ~1 Qd, and I’m guessing a global nuclear war would wipe out a significant fraction of that.
My intuition has been that at least in the medium term unless AWs are self-replicating they’d cause GCR risk primarily through escalation to nuclear war; but if there are other scenarios, that would be interesting to know (by PM if you’re worried about info. hazards.)
