A year ago, I would have never considered a role in AI Safety. I too fell down the rabbit hole by reading AI 2027, taking courses and now am completely focused on finding a role in the AI Safety community. I am a women, experienced professional in my 50s and my life has changed over the past 3 months. This essay is great advice, to be in this industry you need context, a deep understanding of the landscape and nuance. I am happy to be a student and to learn and am realizing it may take me 6 − 12 months to find a job. Thank you for this roadmap and guidance.
