I’d like to point out that often conversations like this in EA send people the wrong way:
Things that are “known” to be useful for certain domains are often misleading.
A good example is the misconception that devs need ML experience to contribute to AI Safety (which is wrong).
To avoid this kind of mistake, I recommend finding one or more concrete jobs that seem appealing to you (or companies and ask what they need, or something like that).
