I am well versed in most of this math, and a fair portion of the CS (mostly the more theoretical parts, not so much the applied bits). Should I contact you now, or should I study the rest of that stuff first?

In any case, this post has caused me to update significantly in the direction of "I should go into FAI research". Thanks.

Please contact malo@intelligence.org; some early guidance can probably help steer the rest of your studies even more than this post does.
