Hi LW! My name is Yaacov, I've been lurking here for maybe 6 months but I've only recently created an account. I'm interested in minimizing human existential risk, effective altruism, and rationalism. I'm just starting a computer science degree at UCLA, so I don't know much about the topic now but I'll learn more quickly.
Specific questions:
What can I do to reduce existential risk, especially that posed by AI? I don't have an income as of yet. What are the best investments I can make now in my future ability to reduce existential risk?
If you choose the path of trying to make a lot of money and supporting the organizations who do the research, 80000 hours can help.
If you choose to contribute by doing the research, you can start by reading what's already done.
