Cowboys training camp: Stock watch from the first practice
The first day of training camp is officially in the books this year. Brian Schottenheimer got his first chance to run a practice with the entire team, even as some players weren’t actively practicing due to injuries or contractual reasons. There wasn’t too much action on the first day, but there was enough to discern some marginal movements in player stocks. Stock upDak PrescottGuess who’s back, back again? Dak Prescott is back, and while Schottenheimer said that the quarterback will be limited in how much work he gets while recovering from a partial hamstring avulsion, he did just enough to remind people who he is. Prescott had several beautiful throws that were typical for how he fits passes into tight windows, and he even showed off some plus mobility. Given how poor he was playing...

The Download: training robots with gen AI, and the state of climate tech
Technology tamfitronics Plus: OpenAI is worth a whole lot of cash This is today's edition of The Download,our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what's going on in the world of technology. AI-generated images can teach robots how to act Generative AI models can produce images in response to prompts within seconds, and they’ve recently been used for everything from highlighting their own inherent bias to preserving precious memories. Now, researchers from Stephen James’s Robot Learning Lab in London are using image-generating AI models for a new purpose: creating training data for robots. They’ve developed a new system, called Genima, that fine-tunes the image-generating AI model Stable Diffusion to draw robots’ movements, helping guide them both in simulations and in the real world. Genima could make it easier to train...
The Download: training robots for unfamiliar environments, and all-new bird flu
Technology tamfitronics What’s new: It’s tricky to get robots to do things in environments they’ve never seen before. Typically, researchers need to train them on new data for every new place they encounter, which can become very time-consuming and expensive. Now, researchers have developed a series of AI models that teach robots to complete basic tasks in new surroundings without further training or fine-tuning. What they achieved: The five AI models, called robot utility models, (RUMs), allow machines to complete five separate tasks: opening doors and drawers, and picking up tissues, bags and cylindrical objects in unfamiliar environments with a 90% success rate. The big picture: The team hope their findings will make it quicker and easier to teach robots new skills while helping them function within previously-unseen domains. The approach could make...
