Today I had the chance to meet an incredibly impressive computer science PhD @alisawuffles — she’s joining OpenAI @OpenAI soon, and previously interned at NVIDIA, Google, and the Allen Institute for AI.
Her homepage shares her job search experience and coding practice methods, and she has also open-sourced AI projects based on her papers.
Though she’s far beyond our reach, we can still learn from her. https://t.co/qcT3WgLi6t https://t.co/fOEztui055
