^ that's /very/ overhyped and incorrect. To be exact one/two of the NREC teams that worked on the DARPA Robotics Projects left. To put that into perspective - NREC is ~15 min drive from CMU. And "underpaid" is inaccurate - it's well known that industry pays far more than academia can usually. Furthermore NREC is one of the many institutes under the CMU SCS (school of computer science) banner. It finds/pays for its grad students and then pays main campus for its students to take classes. Saying that CMU was vastly impacted is incorrect - this did not cause the loss of CSD - the actual Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon - faculty. There are some 6? autonomous/semi-autonomous institutes/centers and then the actual CSD. -- a CMU student ps: for interns/FT alone Uber ATC allows for 2x overtime pay (ontop of a pretty high base). ps(2): for less exaggerated news, refer to the interview with Dean Moore.
