so far my plan is this (of which i’m currently on step 1):
- take online classes through Harvard for a certificate that will emulate the CS background i didn’t get in school
- apply to grad schools
- get a graduate degree studying AI and cognitive science
- afterwards either:
- get a position so deeply rewarding that i don’t mind loss of autonomy
- get a position so high-paying that i don’t mind loss of autonomy
- continue working as i do now but be able to take on much more interesting projects and potentially try to contribute to the various nonprofits and open ventures that deal with AI/AI risk in my free time
- solve the hard problem of consciousness AND the mind-uploading situation and achieve immortality.
all of those 4 options seem good to me, so i’m ok with this plan (notice how it conveniently ignores massive student debt :)
