After being initially impressed by this, I found one thing to pick at:
"Could" here tells you very little. The question isn't whether "build FAI" could work as a strategy for mitigating all other existential risks, it's whether that strategy has a good enough chance of working to be superior to other strategies for mitigating the other risks. What's missing is an argument for saying "yes" to that second question.
