Can someone point to MIRI's estimates (with justifications) of various x-risks and the odds of mitigating them? Just wondering how, in MIRI's view, the FAI work stacks up against other disaster prevention efforts. I can't seem to find this information on their site.

One relevant point is that successfully building an FAI mitigates other x-risks.

A potentially-relevant sub-point is that successfully building a fast explosive fooming FAI optimally reduces all x-risks.
