Looks great!
I may be alone in this, and I haven't mentioned this before because it's a bit of a delicate subject. I assume we all agree that first impressions matter a great deal, and that appearances play a large role in that. I think that, how to say this, ehm, it would, perhaps, be in the best interest of all of us, if you could use photos that don't make the AI thinkers give off this serial killer vibe.
Yeah, Anna's happy smile and Eliezer's piercing gaze sure make you think about the number of skeletons in their SIAI closet.
Anna looks like an ad for salad and Eliezer looks like a golden retriever puppy. However, Robin looks like he wants to negotiate about who should wear your skin.
Robin's pic doesn't give me that vibe at all. Chalmers and Hall on the other hand...
Robin's photo reminds me of that of The Captain from How I Met Your Mother, in that the top half (eyes) is clearly angry and the bottom half (mouth) is clearly smiling -- try covering half of the picture and you'll see what I mean.
The first descriptor that comes to mind is "diabolical."
