I agree there’s substantial overlap, but there could be cases where “what’s best for reducing Xrisk” and “what’s best for reducing Srisk” really come apart. If I saw a clear-cut case for that; I’d be inclined to favor Srisk reduction (modulo, e.g., comparative advantage considerations).
That’s certainly true. To be clear, my argument was not “these types of work are entirely overlapping”, but rather just that “taking s-risk seriously doesn’t necessarily mean no overlap with x-risk prevention”.
