Shout out to @thegautamkamath for letting me know this account was hacked 😂

After two incredible years at Waymo, this Thursday will be my last day. I'm excited to start a new adventure! If you know of any exciting opportunities or have connections in the industry, I'd love to hear from you.

@willieboag Never had that go well... I have tried DM instead of getting into a public flame war. I would still recommend this, but prepare to be disappointed?

Is there a polite way to tell a mutual “yeah man idk about that one. Kind of a messed up thing you just posted there” without being rude or making them defensive?

@josepablocam Does it work???

@innodim Amazing 🎷🎉

When I say Black people slay me every single day. That is, even our tech must dance. Our AI must have rhythm. Our computers must amapiano. We can’t be defeated🤣🤣🤣🤣 Basically, this would be me if I reincarnated as an African robot 🤖🦾💃🏾 #BlackTechVitality😂 #VibraniumBeLit

@sebatlab But what about video games?

If I have to read another grad school application that starts with "I loved science since I was in the 3rd trimester" I think I'm going to hurl

@mmitchell_ai Incredible!

Look ma, it's me.

@DrCABerry @NoireSTEMinist @Racheida_Lewis @DrCarlottaBerry @SWEtalk That's amazing!!!

@Racheida_Lewis @DrCarlottaBerry Yall! I am getting tagged in photos everywhere!!!! Plesae keep them coming!!! @SWEtalk #SWE23 #WE23 #NoireSTEMinist.

@josepablocam Well, when I played EverQuest....

@seema_upadhya @Waymo Let's do it! Looking forward to meeting you :)

@ariel_anders @Waymo Hi @ariel_anders , I will be attending GHC'23 and would love to grab coffee with you to discuss your role at Waymo!! Lmk!

Exciting travel plans this month! This is my first year attending #GHC2023 with @Waymo. Friends please reach out if you're attending to make sure we grab some coffee!

@roboticseabass We are single.

@BasicScienceSav You're being too generous.

Took until therapy today to realize how much this actually tanked my confidence. I hate that comments like these live rent free in my head. And the thing is, I even know the organizer didn’t mean anything bad by it. But still ☹️

Just a note, if you’ve invited someone to speak/teach at something and, when you meet in person at the event, they thank you for the invitation, probably best to not respond with ‘yea, we really try to prioritize diversity’ 🫠

@citostyle @tuvienna 🙏🏾

@ariel_anders @tuvienna Maybe next year for sabbatical. But that’s still in the works

Summer closing for the IPA lab ⁦@tuvienna⁩ Thank you to all lab members for the great work this semester

@thegautamkamath @KitchLibrary 💕 lovely!!

Farida is fantastic! She helped coordinate our picturesque and memorable wedding last summer at the @KitchLibrary. Can't recommend either of them enough!

@DrCABerry southern comfort and fireball

I need the names of some cheap liquors for my book but I don't really drink. I have Grey Goose. Any other suggestions? Mad Dog, Ripple?

@emilymbender I tried game of thrones before the last season came out. None of my dissertation slides aged well. Perhaps we should go back to foo and bar.

I've now seen two talks at ACL using Harry Potter examples. I think the appeal is that it's a fictional world that it's safe to assume large parts of the audience are familiar with. But still: maybe it's time to move on?

@roboticwrestler this is why I never wrote any papers :P

If my PhD advisor drilled *anything* into my head, it was this. And I am grateful.
