Sweet. Thanks Devin Guillory for laying out some AI-specific structural issues. Well worth the read. For the broader CV community, this quote is apt: "One of the most impactful actions an ally can take is help to do this work [of 'diversifying' university campuses]".

Do your robots fail in new environments, or is it hard to get them to train at all? Happens to the best of us. Mid-level vision provides a scalable way to build in invariances for visual robotics. Check out our project site midlevel.berkeley.edu or chat with us now at CoRL '20!

We are organizing a panel discussion/Q&A on “Demystifying ML PhD Applications to US Universities” with faculty spanning various universities this Saturday at 9am PT/12pm ET. Please register at hbs.zoom.us/webinar/regist… to attend. #AI #ML #AcademicTwitter [1/n]

Did you know that you sleep poorly when you're alone? It's adaptive--to help you wake up if needed. Fmr. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy talks about the epidemic of loneliness in the US. So glad this guy is co-chairing Biden's COVID-19 task force. open.spotify.com/episode/4R3egn…

Hi folks, my team at FAIR is growing and has an opening for a recent- or new-grad RS hire. We are working on really cool generative 3D/4D stuff with followup applications to embodied AI/robotics. IMO FAIR will be THE place for robotics in 2 years 🎉 metacareers.com/jobs/121576786…
