Meet our AI-powered robot that’s ready to play table tennis. 🤖🏓 It’s the first agent to achieve amateur human level performance in this sport. Here’s how it works. 🧵


Anybody else in #SanJose lost @Xfinity @comcast Internet and cable today? Been out since 1pm today and they claim it's back on but it isn't.


Once again @Sunrun backup battery system has failed. Have I mentioned that they're garbage?


Shopping for a new couch. Why can't I scan my room with a camera, turn that into a virtual environment, and swap in a dozen different models from different vendors? I thought #AugmentedReality would be general use by now, but doesn't seem to be. What about NeRF?


So, did @Twitter really kill all third-party apps? I've been using @TalonAndroid for years and can't bear to use the native app. How is this not getting more attention?


So @Tesla latest software update broke mobile app connectivity, deleted all driver profiles (settings, home/work locations, recent destinations) and reset map so it doesn't show traffic any more. WTF.


Watching Gremlins and remembering how much of a badass Billy's mom is. Single-handedly kills 3 gremlins with zero hesitation.


Fascinating development. Really curious to see how this hits the dinner table...

We wrote an open letter to chickens to tell them we received an “NQL” from the FDA, accepting our safety conclusion that UPSIDE’s cultivated chicken will be available following USDA inspection & label approval.🐔 Don't read chicken? Read the translation at upsidechickenletter.com

No @CHPAlerts this is not an "Extreme threat to life and property". Stop abusing this system or we turn it off and we're less safe.

Rest in peace food delivery robot and who ever ordered their food


In the US, I can't watch today's @F1 qualifying for the #USGP. I can watch every practice, quali, and race for every other GP, but not in my own country? Wtf @espn @comcast why do you suck so bad?


5 years ago today, at @COTA @F1 #USGP Maybe I'll make it again next year...

Work from our @GoogleAI team - training robots to play table tennis to better understand how they learn in dynamic + high-speed settings. One project achieved a 300+ hit rally, while another is focused on matching the precision of amateur human players 🏓 ai.googleblog.com/2022/10/table-…

Tasks that seem simple to humans — like cleaning up a spilled drink — are actually incredibly complex for helper robots. That’s why Google Research and Everyday Robots are using language models to improve robot learning. youtube.com/watch?v=E2g1AP…

Not sad about this. Happier to see Rivian and the F150 Lightning filling the need for EV trucks. carbuzz.com/news/canceled-…


Yes!

McLaren Racing announces a major multi-year partnership with @Google, featuring @Android and @GoogleChrome, as an Official Partner of the McLaren Formula 1 Team and McLaren Extreme E Team from 2022.
