consider scaling up in ML to become an ML engineer or ML researcher. If it’s still possible, try to join the best engineering school in your region, and then join your local EA group, and start community building to nudge your smart friends towards AI safety. ML engineering does not necessitate a genius level of IQ.
I’m myself an ML engineer, you can dm me for further questions. I’m far from being a genius, I’ve never been the best in my class, but I’m currently able to contribute meaningfully.
Do you, or other people, know why your comment is getting downvoted? Right now it’s at −5 so I have to assume the general LW audience disagrees with your advice.
Presumably people think it is really hard to become a ML researcher? Or do they think we already have enough people in ML so we don’t need more?
