I am 22, and already in the middle of my first career change. Yay. After taking a summer to deeply contemplate what I want to do with my life, I decided I want to do whatever is most beneficial for the advancement of humanity.

From everything I thought of, it came down to either education (enabling humans) or Artificial Intelligence (building something better than a human). I decided on AI, and am looking to build my foundations in alignment and development (previously I was focused on climate change prevention).

My main method of learning is interaction, so I joined my schools AI club, and have joined a few forums, and am reading voraciously on the latest in AI, policy, and alignment.
