I dropped out of high school, and was able to take a short, 3hr test to get a high school equivalent certificate from my state (the California High School Proficiency Test). I then went to community college and transferred to a 4-year university.
Some frank advice: if you “have no math or programming skills” then you don’t even know enough to know whether AI x-risk is even something worth working on. There is a ridiculous amount of biased literature available on the Internet, LW in particular, targeted towards those without strong backgrounds in computer science or AI. You may not be getting the whole story here. If this is what you feel you want to do, then I suggest taking the community college route and getting a comp sci degree from an inexpensive local university. You’ll be in a better position then to judge what you want to do.
Also, all forms of IQ measurement are worthless and without any value in this context. I would suggest doing your best to forget that number.
