i an confused about the agi safety vs longtermism debate. as far as i can tell, longtermism mostly is just about agi safety, with some "and also bio risk!"s thrown in?

also somewhat confused by the branding of longtermism, since most longermists seem to think agi safety is an existential risk in the very short term :)

I am reading the precipice by toby ord and the stand out category you're missing(as far as i recall) is inescapable dystopia. It's concerning to me that this isn't already on your list of things to work hard to avoid.
