Hi! My name is Dev and I’m 17 years old. I’m a current high school graduate about to start university in the fall of 2022. Looking forward to interacting here. I’m currently interested in a lot of areas—including global priorities research, AI alignment, existential and s-risk, and energy poverty—but I’m currently trying to figure out the best path I could take since I’m at quite an early stage in my career. Of these topics, I’d say I’m most well-informed about energy poverty and I’m currently reading Superintelligence to get a better idea of AI alignment. Not sure what I want to do to have the most impact as of yet, but I welcome anyone who might want to have a conversation.
Got introduced to effective altruism by a friend and found the forum on the effectivealtruism.org website. Was a lurker for quite a while before I made this post
Hey Dev! I noticed you’re attending Berkeley for college—just wanted to let you know that the city is a pretty large EA hub, and the university has an active EA club. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat more or join our student group slack :)

How’d you hear about the EA forum out of curiosity?
