Um, until recently, I was, um, a freelance journalist, which I was doing, um, for a very long time, um, for well over a decade.

Fre- I was doing freelance journalism and, um, documentary filmmaking.

Um, I'm continuing to do the latter, but I took a job with the Midas Project, which is an AI industry watchdog group.

Um, you know, I'd been reporting on AI stuff and interested in that and concerned about it for a, for a long time, so it dovetails with, um, some of my interests already.
