“We can tell our robots what we want them to do, but language can be underspecified. Goal images are worth 1,000 words, but can be overspecified. Hand-drawn sketches are a happy medium for communicating goals to robots!” https://rt-sketch.github.io/

“There is a beautiful story that just happened in AI so let me share it for a lighter tone weekend post among all the doom stories in our AI field this week. It’s a story of people on three continents building and sharing in the open a new small efficient and state-of-the-art AI model.” https://twitter.com/Thom_Wolf/status/1720503998518640703

“New paper on Masks: Some claim scientific studies show masks don’t work, or that surgical masks are as good as N95s. Just released paper shows this claim is false. Masks work, and N95 respirators give a much higher benefit than surgical masks.” https://twitter.com/yaneerbaryam/status/1717966494665941401 (paper: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-3486610/v1)
