I could imagine some listeners, there are probably some people listening, right, who they really do want to do good for the world.
They really do care about that, but they just don't think that they're going to take one of these AI-focused jobs.
And like, maybe they think that because, you know, maybe they don't think that they're well suited to any kind of AI related roles, or maybe they're not that inherently interested by this AI stuff.
And if you're that person, I'm sorry that we've been talking so much about AI.
And, or, you know, I think alternatively, it might just be that they feel like
they're not in a good position to change their careers right now.
And if these things are gonna happen very soon, that's kind of pointless.
Yeah, what do you say to these people?
Is there anything specific in the book for them?
Whoa.
Yeah, what a trajectory.
Yeah, totally.
There's a really wide range of jobs that are helpful for making AI go well that don't necessarily require technical skills.
Basically, any kind of dispositions or sets of skills that you currently have, there's plausibly some really useful way you could apply that towards something AI-related.
And it also seems like there are lots of jobs where your day-to-day wouldn't even necessarily need to be focusing that strongly on, like,
the specific details that may not interest you about AI, but you could still be furthering efforts kind of indirectly in that way.
I'm also hearing that if you give it a shot, you might actually love it, which is true, I think, of lots of careers.
I think I kind of want to talk to you now about your personal experience
trajectory here because you know you're an example of somebody who wasn't previously that focused on AI so I know around 15 years ago or something you were already like AI risks were already very much like on your radar but it wasn't your sort of the thing that you were thinking about every day is is my is my understanding and I'm kind of interested in what
changed for you?
