"I definitely agree that Eliezer's list of lethalities hits many rhetorical and pedagogical beats that other people are not hitting and I'm definitely not hitting. I also agree that it's worth having a sense of urgency given that there's a good chance of all of us dying (though quantitatively my risk of losing control of the universe though this channel is more like 20% than 99.99%, and I think extinction is a bit less less likely still)."

I think the comments you cite are all Paul talking about chances of doom along more specific paths, and his overall estimates of xrisk are higher

Maybe a total of more like 40% total existential risk from AI this century?

Does "a 10% increase" mean he goes from 10% to 11%, or from 10% to 20%?

Does the 10% increase have to apply to both the probabilities you listed?

@JakubKraus 10-20%
I clarified the second question in the title

predicts YES

@AnishUpadhayaya6ee What is Paul's current P(doom | AGI before 2100), for reference? What if Paul talks about how his P(doom) has increased but never provides a public quantitative figure?

bought Ṁ100 of NO

I don't know this person at all. I'm just gambling because I assume being an important person at OAI indicates tech optimism and at these low Mana levels I do not have enough incentive to make sure I have high confidence on my bet.
