Personal Update: I'll be splitting my responsibilities between CMU and Amazon FAR over the next year. I'm convinced we need a unified understanding of how the axes of scale, data, optimization and control interact for robot learning, and am excited for my lab + FAR to push

everyone talks about AI model alignment, but what about AI oligopoly alignment? Suppose a super powerful A̵I̵ ̵m̵o̵d̵e̵l̵ AI company thought it was acting in the public interest but was actually undermining it. How would we stop i̵t̵ them?

thoughts on robot/generative RL: the best regularization is more expressive updates, not less. What we've learned from the LLM community is that data and model scale lead to the most informative and stable gradients, and we should do the same in robotics.
