Google is developing a DeepMind based AI that could end up being the ultimate virtual co-op buddy. It’s not some play-to-win opponent or super-bot, but a general, instructible game-playing AI agent.

Kyle Shanahan stands by OT decision in 49ers’ Super Bowl loss, defends track record in big games

Two days removed from losing Super Bowl LVIII to the Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan sat at a podium with general manager John Lynch on Tuesday and addressed reporters. The 44-year-old was quick to rebuff a specific question about the game, saying he hasn’t had a chance to watch film from the loss. Instead, he spent time watching Netflix’s “Griselda” with his family to distract himself from the victory that was almost in his grasp. That didn’t stop him from… Source link
