A new AI model from MIT CSAIL called "CausVid" crafts smooth, high-quality videos in seconds: bit.ly/3GKkSJQ

The system combines the photorealism of diffusion models w/the speed of autoregressive approaches, potentially making it useful for editing videos & creating training data for robots.

Cable-driven mechanisms enable streamlined, precise motion, but are difficult to assemble by hand.

MIT’s "Xstrings" 3D printing approach automates how these objects are put together, allowing users to customize designs for things like:
- A lizard robot
- A wall sculpture

MIT prof. & CSAIL principal investigator Kaiming He discusses AI’s role in lowering barriers between scientific fields & fostering collaboration across scientific disciplines.

He says that these walls are breaking down because of a "common language that has been found in AI": bit.ly/4hwPXxX

A new printmaking technique produces images that can change colors when heated up ♨️

MIT researchers helped develop "Thermochromorph" to take advantage of full-color process printing. It uses thermochromic inks to make images transition into each other: bit.ly/42Jeyeq

To help robots execute open-ended, multi-step chores, MIT CSAIL researchers used vision models to see what’s near the machine & model its constraints. An LLM sketches up a plan that’s checked in a simulator to ensure it’s safe & realistic, potentially aiding household robots: bit.ly/3ZNJWXj

You’ve likely imitated the sound of a cow or a bell before, AKA "sonically sketching."

Inspired by the cognitive science of how we communicate, an AI system from MIT CSAIL can produce human-like vocal imitations w/no training & w/o ever having "heard" a human vocal impression before: bit.ly/3VoJLz8

Hello, world!

Fun fact: This term was coined in Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie's “C Programming Language” textbook, published in 1978.
