I cringe at the term x-risk.
Can you think of another five letter description? The shorter the term, the easier of a time people will have remembering it and thus the meme will spread faster than a longer term.
Can one use the backwards-E existence symbol as one of the letters?
If we want ease-of-use, the fact that you typed out “backwards-E existence symbol” instead of “∃” isn’t encouraging...
It seems intuitively obvious to me that since the risk event is an absence of existence, we should call them \forall-risks.
Yeah, universal risks instead of existential risks would’ve been a better name, probably too late to change now though.
Alien teenagers sending robots to bitch-slap every human on earth is a universal risk of bitch-slapping, but isn’t an existential risk to humanity.
What matters is not how many people will remember it, it’s how many people will remember it and take it seriously.
The shorter the term, the easier of a time people will have remembering it and thus the meme will spread faster than a longer term.
Well...
Is x-risk what happens when x-men do x-rated x-treme stuff?
