Today therapist talked about how to make up for hurting someone
- There is no universal thing you can do (ie apologizing)— you must ask or figure out what’s best for that person
- Be prepared for that action to hurt. Making things right may make you feel awful. It’s not about you

Examples of ways making up for your actions and doing the right thing can hurt
- Giving the person space
- Facing legal consequences
- Leaving a job
- Making reparations that are time consuming and draining
- Accepting that you may never be able to make it right but trying anyway
So in other words, being a compassionate and good person often doesn’t feel very pleasant. You do it because it aligns with your values, not for an emotional high.

How can we use language supervision to learn better visual representations for robotics?

Videos of humans performing everyday tasks (Something-Something-v2, Ego4D) offer a rich and diverse resource for learning representations for robotic manipulation.

Yet, an underused part of these datasets are the rich, natural language annotations accompanying each video. (2/12)

The Voltron framework offers a simple way to use language supervision to shape representation learning, building off of prior work in representations for robotics like MVP (

The secret is *balance* (3/12)

Starting with a masked autoencoder over frames from these video clips, make a choice:

1) Condition on language and improve our ability to reconstruct the scene.

2) Generate language given the visual representation and improve our ability to describe what's happening. (4/12)

By trading off *conditioning* and *generation* we show that we can learn 1) better representations than prior methods, and 2) explicitly shape the balance of low and high-level features captured.

Why is the ability to shape this balance important? (5/12)
