How I got here
I didn't come to AI safety through the obvious path. [Write your own opening here — where you started, what you were doing before this became the thing you cared most about.]
The moment I started taking the problem seriously was [describe the inflection point — a paper, a conversation, a realization]. It wasn't a dramatic conversion. More like a slow accumulation of discomfort.
What I got wrong early on: [be honest — a wrong belief, something you had to unlearn]. I still think about it.
