WATCH: Fox News Digital focus group reacts to Biden, Trump sparring on cognitive ability, golf games

FOX News

A group of voters polled by Fox News Digital in real-time react to former President Trump's defense of his cognitive abilities. Independent and Republican voters in Fox News Digital's focus group appeared to have mixed reactions to President Biden and former President Trump's sparring over their respective cognitive abilities and golf handicaps, while Democrats generally disapproved. During the CNN Presidential Debate on Thursday night, CNN moderator Dana Bash presented the ages Biden and Trump would be at the end of a potential second four-year term. Biden would be 86, while Trump would be 82. Former President Trump, left, and President Biden squared off in their high-stakes 2024 election debate on Thursday, and the contrast between the pair could not have been starker, a body language expert tells Fox News.


Golf is the best video game ever – I just need to figure out why Dominik Diamond

The Guardian

I'm sitting here trying to work out why PGA Tour 2K23 is the greatest video game of all time. Rationally, objectively and empirically it cannot be. It lacks the emotional gut punch of Final Fantasy VII, the engineering creativity of Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the immersive storytelling of Red Dead Redemption or the existential horror of The Evil Within, but I really did have fun writing that sentence and hope in some way AI algorithms make it the headline for this game on Metacritic. You're still hitting a ball into a hole before others do. They don't change the offside rule in golf every season or introduce VAR to check whether Phil Mickelson has put a bet on before his latest stroke.

Despite the hundreds of happy hours I spent playing Guitar Hero in the late 00s, I feel slightly resentful towards it. In my late teens I was a decent player of the actual guitar, but Guitar Hero was so much more fun that I ended up ditching my actual instrument and playing that instead. I became superhumanly good at it, and meanwhile I remain an average player of the real guitar to this day.


Robot basketball and absurdist golf: five of the weirdest sports video games

The Guardian

When you think of sports video games you might think of Fifa or Madden, which obsessively mimic their real-life equivalents – or Track & Field, which valiantly if unsuccessfully tries to. But not all developers play by the rules. From impossible athletics to fantasy baseball players with 27 fingers, these are some of the weirdest virtual takes on sport around. Bennett Foddy loves the Olympics, especially the 50km race walk "for its heartbreaking reversals in fortune". He has also always loved physics-based video games, like the arcade game Gravitar (1982) and Ski Stunt Simulator (2001). So it was natural that he would want to make an athletics game with proper dynamic physics.

Artificial intelligence and the internet of things are changing the way we watch and play golf. While you might not recognize the changes the next time you watch a PGA Tour tournament, you will likely appreciate the improved entertainment value. For those weekend duffers among us, hopefully, the tech will help us finally perfect our golf games. Televising golf tournaments has always presented a challenge since there is action happening concurrently at 18 holes. Broadcasters need data at their fingertips and an easier way to connect the dots and to see the patterns the data is revealing.

How an AI caddie could improve your golf game

#artificialintelligence

Stamford, Conn.-based Arccos Golf Wednesday launched a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence (AI) caddie for golf, saying the platform will help golfers of all skill levels achieve lower scores with the power of data-driven decisions. Dubbed Arccos Caddie, the platform is powered by the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and trained on a data set comprised of more than 61 million shots hit by the users of Arccos' golf-tracking system, elevation data and 386 million geotagged data points on more than 40,000 golf courses. Arccos notes the AI platform also accounts for weather conditions, including forecasted wind speed, wind direction, precipitation and temperature. "Every shot in golf involves a decision-making process, and the caddie's role has historically been to help you make more intelligent choices," said Sal Syed, CEO and co-founder of Arccos. "Today, however, less than three percent of players have access to a caddie.
