Human underpopulation as an existential threat is also extremely far away. Ok, less people means a weaker economy. It still won’t be as bad as an event like World War II which killed tens of millions but that humanity still recovered from. I actually want longer AGI timelines because I don’t trust AGI to share my values.

Thanks for recommending the at section of the document. I’ll take a peak at it. I’m not really worried about yhe birthraye decline case because I think there would be subgroups of humanity with higher birthrates. Both small communities like the Amish and large communities like Nigerians still have birth rates well above replacement level. Africa is industrializing fast and could become an industrial powerhouse like China, if automation doesn’t remove the competitive advantage that high population otherwise would give them. Many African countries GDPs are growing at 10% every year.

This comment of mine goes a little off topic but I think the stuff I’m addressing is interesting and important for predicting the future.
