Google’s latest AI agent is learning how to navigate a familiar space: gaming. The tech giant released new research on its Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent, or SIMA, on Wednesday. This agent can follow instructions to carry out tasks in video games — and play games it has never seen before. But, like Genie, which DeepMind, Google’s AI research arm, discussed in a research paper published Feb. 23, SIMA is a research project. “We could in the future have agents like SIMA playing alongside… Source link

NFL free agency begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. Eastern time. And if you’ve been off the NFL grid for two days, that official start will be more exciting than it really is. The NFL’s so-called legal tampering period started Monday and there was a frenzy to lock up the top free agents. By the time Wednesday rolled around, 17 of the 25 free agents from Yahoo Sports’ top 25 on Monday had agreed to deals. That doesn’t mean free agency is over. Teams will still be searching for veteran help and there… Source link

The money is set to help the tax-collecting agency chase down cheats and refresh its shockingly outdated technology over the coming decade. But many critics on the right who say the agency is politically motivated contend the money will also make tax collectors a more pernicious presence in Americans’… Source link

If there are two areas fans can bet on the Jacksonville Jaguars addressing during free agency, it’s their offensive line and receiver. With them having around $55 million in available cap space, fans should also expect splash signings at both positions depending on who hits the market. In an article by CBS Sports, that’s exactly the approach Cody Benjamin has the Jags taking in terms of getting skill weapons for Trevor Lawrence. In his free-agent predictions article, he had the Jags… Source link

The NFL scouting combine is scheduled to begin on March 1, but whether or not the 2022 NFL draft’s top players participate is apparently a question mark at this point. Due to discontent over the NFL’s bubble rules at the combine, agents representing more than 150 of the draft’s prospects are organizing a boycott of all testing, on-field workouts and interviews at Lucas Oil Stadium, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The players’ main priority is reportedly the NFL softening its… Source link

Much has been made about the Los Angeles Lakers standing pat at the trade deadline despite some obvious struggles, and the discontent reportedly extends behind closed doors with the team. The biggest topic is what to do, or should have done, with point guard Russell Westbrook, who hasn’t proven to be the kind of player the Lakers need alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The Lakers acquired Westbrook last offseason in exchange for a bevy of players and have since watched his production… Source link
