"I want to be alone." The despairing words spoken by Greta Garbo while being spied on by a thief in her 1932 film Grand Hotel, have been injected with chilling new irony. Using the latest AI technique, the starlet has been brought back to life to flog ball bearings in an advert by the industrial Swedish Company SKF. And what a terrifying spectacle it makes.
The lifelike precision is terrific, from the smoky, undulating voice to the thin pencilled eyebrows that twitch between anxiety and hauteur.
At the same time there is something deathly about the figment. What made Garbo so brilliant to watch was that you didn't know where the woman started and the character began; when the camera was rolling she didn't so much perform as emerge. Her AI rendition has magnetism without presence.
True, the animation deploys cutting-edge AI techniques to evade successfully what is known as the "uncanny valley" trap, the nausea that people feel when faced with simulations that nearly – but do not quite – resemble real humans. But simulations like Greta's arguably occupy a new ******* e that one might call the "immaculate void".
Garbo's family gave their permission for the ad. But it's impossible to know how Garbo herself would have felt about it. As we extract commercial value from the departed without their consent, it begs the question: are we any better than Egyptian grave robbers, who sacrilegiously plundered the dead?

After an impressive showing last Saturday against East Carolina, the Alabama Crimson Tide now begin SEC play this weekend in Lexington against the Kentucky Wildcats.
Similar to last week, Roll Tide Wire recently turned to the EA Sports College Football 27 video game to simulate the Alabama-Kentucky matchup, as well as find out which team wins in the simulation. So far this fall, the simulation is 1-0 when correctly predicting the results on Alabama's schedule.
Here is how the College Football 27 video game predicts the Alabama-Kentucky game to play out this Saturday.
Final Score: Alabama 34, Kentucky 25

The useful part of these matchup conversations is figuring out which players outside the obvious tier have a chance to outkick their ranking and give you more than the market is pricing in. That's what we're looking at here.
Every player on this list sits outside the top 10 at his position in both Yahoo Sports' Week 1 half-PPR consensus rankings and FantasyPros' half-PPR Expert Consensus Rankings. From there, I'm looking at the matchup and the higher-end outcomes from my projection model.

The boom and nuke percentages come from my simulation model. Boom thresholds are 27 points for quarterbacks, 24 for running backs and wide receivers and 20 for tight ends. Nuke thresholds are 35, 33, 34 and 28, respectively.

Synopsys (SNPS), a leading provider of software used to design, verify, and test semiconductor chips, remains one of the most dominant players in electronic design automation (EDA). Its EDA software and semiconductor intellectual property (IP) solutions play a critical role in the development of increasingly sophisticated chips.
Moreover, the company has expanded its capabilities with its approximately $35 billion acquisition of Ansys, bringing semiconductor design and engineering simulation under one roof. However, the integration has also brought restructuring and workforce reductions.

After falling short of their back-to-back ambitions, the Oklahoma City Thunder are ready to get back in the saddle. Even after their offseason of cost-cutting moves, they're viewed as arguably the top **** le favorite again. That's what happens when you have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams.
The Thunder have everything that it takes to win the 2027 NBA championship. This group has one ring in hand — with the hopes of adding another. As long as those three are around, OKC will always be in the **** le picture.
Thunder Wire recently simulated the Thunder's upcoming season in the new NBA 2K27 video game. Thunder fans might straight-up hate the final result. Let's look at how OKC's campaign played out as it hopes to bring home a second championship.
For transparency, injuries and trades were turned off in this simulation. So all 30 NBA teams had the same rosters and rotations available throughout the entire season. It was at Hall-of-Fame difficulty. With that taken into account, let's look at how things turned out:
The Thunder make NBA history once again. They're the first seed for the fourth consecutive year. That's only the sixth time that has happened ever. They went 59-23 and had to wait until the regular-season finale to cool their jets. The Spurs and Timberwolves also had the same record. OKC had the tiebreaker over the two.

For the third year in a row, Yahoo Sports is simulating a full NBA season in the latest entry in the NBA 2K franchise — NBA 2K27.
Last year's simulation proved to be shockingly accurate. Not only did NBA 2K26 predict the Knicks to win the NBA Finals and Jalen Brunson to be named NBA Finals MVP, it also nailed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's repeat bid for MVP, Victor Wembanyama's Defensive Player of the Year nod and Cooper Flagg's Rookie of the Year victory. It even had the Wizards as the league's worst team, albeit with half of the wins the real-life version managed to muster.
All things considered, it was safe to say one of the best simulation video game experiences on the market walked the walk.

For those new to this series, here are the rules: We select one team, at random (Miami Heat) and run through a MyEras season with CPU trade offers turned off, with G-League, scouting and rotational decisions set to automatic. The simulation is halted to record the NBA Cup winner, at the end of the regular season and before the NBA Finals.

New Delhi: As the Indian team awaits Jasprit **** rah's fitness reports ahead of the T20I series against Afghanistan next week and the subsequent Asian Games, the national selectors have identified Prince Yadav as a probable backup.
TOI understands that **** rah, Nitish **** ar Reddy, Washington Sundar and Harshit Rana are due to undergo match simulation tests over the course of this week before the Indian team **** embles in Delhi on Sept 10.
"The BCCI medical team at the Centre of Excellence (CoE) had shared a report with selectors last week, where it was mentioned that these four players were clinically fit but had to be **** sed in practice matches. The CoE has lined up the matches from Sept 4-9. The CoE is confident that the players should be ready for the Afghanistan series," a BCCI source said.
Prince made his international debut in the ODI series against Afghanistan at home in June. He too suffered a hamstring injury in the second T20I in Zimbabwe on July 25.
It is learnt that he has been declared fit by the CoE and is available for selection. Prince has been doing well in T20Is since this year's IPL and the selectors see him as a serious prospect going forward.
The selectors and the team management want **** rah to get some game time in a first-class match before the Test series in New Zealand. **** rah hasn't played a red-ball match since the second Test against South Africa in Guwahati last November. He has only played T20 cricket before injuring his knee after two ODIs in England in July.
"As it is, he has to skip Test matches because of his fitness. One has to be clear that his knee can take the load of a first-class game before he takes the field in a Test in New Zealand. It needs to be seen if he plays a Ranji Trophy game or a first-class game for India 'A' in New Zealand. He is likely to be rested for the T20I series against West Indies at home in October. But the 'A' games in New Zealand overlap with the ODI series there," a source said.

The Southeastern Conference has been a perennial college football powerhouse for the last few decades, but lately, there has been a lull in the league's dominance, having now gone three straight seasons without a team being crowned with a national ****** le.
Despite the recent championship doldrums, the SEC remains a powerhouse on the collegiate gridiron with nine member schools cracking the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll. Having expanded its intraconference schedule to nine games, the league slate is a veritable gauntlet that provides a superlative level of competition that can only be matched by the Big Ten.
Ahead of the 2026 campaign, The Athletic's Dan Santaromita and Austin Mock put together their SEC odds, win totals and projections for this fall based on the latter's simulation model. The results have the Georgia Bulldogs leading the way when it comes to expected wins (9.6), as well as their chances for a College Football Playoff appearance (65.1%) and a conference championship (28.3%).
The Florida Gators landed in the lower third of the pack, with an expected win total of 6.5 along with an 11% chance of making their first CFP appearance and a 2.2% chance of winning the SEC ****** le. That ranks the Orange and Blue at No. 11, between the South Carolina Gamecocks and Missouri Tigers.
Take a look at the projections for the conference from Mock's model below.

With Zandvoort now in the rear-view mirror, Formula 1 is ready to head to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix, which is set to provide another crucial turning point in the championship battle. Below is the full schedule and session times for the weekend at the Temple of Speed.
After winning the last two races in succession, there will be plenty of attention on Lando Norris to see whether he can complete a hat-trick in Italy and firmly reignite his championship challenge. The McLaren driver arrives at Monza carrying significant momentum, with another victory potentially allowing him to make further inroads in the standings.
There will also be huge interest surrounding home favourite and championship leader Kimi Antonelli, who will race in front of the Italian crowd at Monza with the added pressure of leading the **** le fight. His weekend, however, will be complicated by the grid penalty hanging over him, meaning the Mercedes driver will have an additional obstacle to overcome as he looks to deliver a strong result on home soil.
Toto Wolff explained that Mercedes' decision to make the engine change in Italy was driven entirely by performance considerations, with the team's simulations identifying Monza as the most favourable circuit at which to absorb the resulting grid penalty.

Real Madrid left the RCDE Stadium with three points after a dramatic 2-1 victory over Espanyol, with Jude Bellingham and Carlos Espi getting the goals.
It was a win that marked Jose Mourinho's first official victory as manager since his return to the club, and there were signs of promise.
One incident in particular that caused controversy involved Vinicius Junior and has continued long after the final whistle.
Espanyol used their official social media account to take a thinly disguised swipe at the Brazilian after believing he should have received a second yellow card for simulation.
"After how many dives do you get a second yellow? Asking for a friend," Espanyol posted.

Fleet safety directors spend years building compliance programs that ****** ody ever asks them to defend out loud, and when someone finally does, it is a plaintiff's attorney with a court reporter in the room. Trucksafe Consulting is selling the rehearsal.
The DOT compliance consultancy will hold its fifth annual Fleet Compliance Bootcamp Sept. 16-17, 2026, at the Crowne Plaza Indianapolis-Downtown-Union Station, and this year's program adds a half-day Live Deposition Simulation and Rule 30(b)(6) Preparation Seminar on Sept. 18.
Trucking deposition preparation usually begins after a lawsuit is filed, which is also the point at which the record stops being fixable. Attendees will watch a realistic deposition of a fleet safety director in a serious highway-accident case. Plaintiff and defense attorneys will demonstrate the questioning strategies, document issues and credibility challenges they use in live cases. A panel discussion afterward will examine how testimony and company records affect liability exposure and settlement value.
"Today, a compliance failure rarely stays confined to an enforcement proceeding," said Brandon Wiseman, president and founder of Trucksafe Consulting. "After a serious accident, attorneys will scrutinize years of driver files, maintenance records, safety data, policies, emails and management decisions."
The exposure is retroactive, and it reaches documents ****** ody wrote expecting an audience.

For a football-starved audience, early August cannot come soon enough. Between the NFL, college and fantasy football, there's no shortage of reasons to be excited about what is undeniably America's favorite sport. For gamers, the excitement is two-fold as August's arrival also brings the latest Madden release — and with it the annual Yahoo Sports simulation.
If you're new to the series, we simulate an entire NFL season in "Madden" — Madden NFL 27 in this case — and break down the winners, losers, surprises and disappointments from the virtual year that was. The ground rules for the simulation remain the same: one random team is selected (Chargers) and we start at the regular season using "simple" settings in Franchise Mode.
Some years, the simulation is surprisingly accurate. Other years — like last year — it's jarringly off, so take all of this with a grain of salt.
With all of that said, let's see how Madden predicts the 2026 season.

Wrexham's first competitive outing of the 2026/27 season ended in disappointment.
The Red Dragons were in first-round Carabao Cup action against Middlesbrough on Friday evening at the Riverside Stadium, having previously drawn 2-2 with Boro in their final game of last campaign.
As this was a cup match, it could not end in a draw, and Wrexham ultimately fell to a 1-0 defeat thanks to a goal from Will Lankshear.
Now, manager Phil Parkinson has shared his verdict on the defeat, including the moment Sam Smith was booked for simulation.

Can the world's newest technology give a boost to one of transportation's oldest? A plan by leading Asia companies wants to find out.
Nvidia and Kawasaki Heavy Industries announced a joint effort to build a "next‑generation digital shipyard" at Kawasaki's Sakaide Works in ****** an.
The core of the deal is co‑development of AI‑powered robots for shipbuilding tasks such as welding, painting, inspection, and material handling.
Kawasaki (OTC: KWHIY) will contribute decades of shipbuilding data, production know‑how, and its own robotics capabilities. Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) will contribute its AI and simulation stack, including products for applications in digital twins, robotics, vision/AI, and edge AI, which applies AI models and algorithms directly to devices such as sensors, cameras, robots, vehicles, or industrial controllers.
One report notes Nvidia making a $5 million investment connected to this 1990s‑era Kawasaki shipbuilding business as part of the arrangement, though the main value is technology integration rather than large equity stakes in shipyards.

Oscar Piastri's Friday at the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix was an uphill battle from the start. Forced to sit out Free Practice 1 to fulfill McLaren's mandatory rookie running requirements, the Australian had just one hour to get up to speed on a highly inconsistent, freshly resurfaced track.
Despite finishing FP2 down in eighth place—nearly 1.4 seconds off the leading pace set by Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton—Piastri remains highly optimistic about McLaren's potential this weekend.
Jumping into the MCL40 for FP2, Piastri inherited a tricky situation from reigning Formula 2 champion Leonardo Fornaroli, who had driven the car during the opening hour.

The Hungaroring proved incredibly difficult to tame, characterized by severe gusts of wind and a bizarrely inconsistent track surface where new patches of tarmac were already wearing away. Adding to the frustration, Piastri's initial qualifying simulation was completely derailed when Alpine's Franco Colapinto spun backwards into the final corner barriers, triggering a red flag.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) provides GPUs and the CUDA-Q platform for quantum simulation, hybrid quantum-classical workloads and the integration of quantum processors with accelerated computing systems.. It is also one of the Best Quantum Computing Stocks to buy and Hold Forever.
Recently, on July 11, Morgan Stanley reiterated NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) as its top semiconductor pick and also maintained a Buy rating with a $288 price target. The rating and the research note came after the firm met with the company's top management.
The firm noted that from the meeting it extracted that Nvidia's growth is increasingly coming from beyond traditional AI hyperscalers. In addition, management expressed confidence that revenue growth can keep accelerating even as quarterly sales near $100 billion. Morgan Stanley said demand is diversifying across AI labs, hyperscalers, enterprise customers, neoclouds, and sovereign AI projects. That broader mix reduces the risk of Nvidia's results depending too heavily on a small group of big-spending cloud companies.
Moreover, networking and CPUs are becoming meaningful growth drivers within hyperscale customers as well. The firm also pointed to sovereign AI, industrial applications, and enterprise adoption as areas likely to grow in importance as countries and companies build out their own AI infrastructure.
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a fabless semiconductor and AI computing company that designs GPUs, AI accelerators, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and system-on-a-chip units. Through its CUDA ecosystem, the company enables industries ranging from autonomous vehicles to scientific research by advancing AI, accelerated computing, and data center infrastructure.

With EA Sports' predicted pick Spain reaching the FIFA World Cup final, fans believe history is set to repeat itself.
Since the 2010 FIFA World Cup, EA Sports have run simulations on their FIFA (now FC) game franchise to make a prediction of who would win the tournament.
In 2010, they predicted Spain to win the tournament, followed by Germany in 2014, France in 2018, and Argentina in 2022 – and they were proven right each time.
After Spain confirmed their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final with a 2-0 win over France, EA FC's X account shared a post they made before the tournament where they predicted La Roja to win it all.
Given EA Sports' history of correctly predicting the winner of the FIFA World Cup for the last four instalments, many believe this is proof that Spain are going to win the tournament.

Nothing about the World Cup knockout stage has been easy for defending champions Argentina. Each round, Lionel Messi has been looking at the likely end to his World Cup career, and yet, Argentina has found a way to win — often with controversy.
Saturday's 3-1 quarterfinal win over Switzerland in extra time was no exception. But while the Swiss were furious with the VAR review and referee Joao Pinheiro's decision to send off Breel Embolo, it was the correct call.
The U.S. men's national team's opening match against Paraguay already sent precedent for that kind of VAR review.
New for this World Cup, VAR was given the ability to check for mistaken identity on yellow cards. That review was applied in June when Paraguay's Miguel Almirón drew a yellow card on Tim Ream despite not being touched by the USMNT defender. VAR looked at the incident and instead had the referee issue a yellow to Almirón for simulation.
The incident with Embolo — who was already on a yellow card — was awfully similar. Embolo went to ground before there was any contact with Argentina's Leandro Paredes. It was a clear simulation, and Embolo should've had the situational awareness to both know the VAR rules on a yellow card and simply not take a dive.

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni insisted Wednesday's heavyweight World Cup semi-final against England was "just a football game" after his side beat Switzerland 3-1 in the last eight.
Alexis Mac Allister put the defending champions ahead early in Kansas City on Saturday but Dan Ndoye scored a deserved equaliser midway through the second half.
Disaster struck minutes later for Switzerland when Breel Embolo was shown a second yellow card for simulation, reducing them to 10 men.
Julian Alvarez broke Swiss hearts in the 112th minute before substitute Lautaro Martinez added a last-gasp third.
Argentina now turn their attention to the semi-final in Atlanta, which promises to be a tense encounter.

KANSAS CITY, MO — Switzerland coach Murat Yakin ripped the referee for the decision to give Breel Embolo a second yellow card for simulation after a VAR check, forcing the Swiss to play the rest of the World Cup quarterfinal against Argentina with 10 men.
The Swiss striker left the field sobbing after he was shown the red card in the 72nd minute. The game went to extra time, and Argentina won 3-1.
"In my opinion, it was a harmless foul. If it even was a foul," Yakin said through a translator. "This rule destroyed our game today and it was incredibly painful. To be eliminated that way hurt a lot."
Argentina's Leandro Paredes was initially given a yellow card for a tackle from behind. But VAR official Guillermo Pacheco informed referee João Pinheiro that he believed the yellow card should have gone to Embolo for simulation instead.
Replays clearly showed Embolo went to the ground without being touched by Paredes. Embolo actually kicked at Paredes as he was falling.

In this electric, late-night episode of The Cooligans After Dark, Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros fire up the microphones live from Miami to unpack a chaotic day of World Cup quarterfinal action. The guys kick off with Argentina’s high-stakes 3-1 victory over Switzerland, a match far tighter than the final scoreline suggests. They dive headfirst into the massive refereeing controversy surrounding Breel Embolo's game-altering second yellow card for simulation. Spurred by the new "mistaken identity" VAR protocol, the hosts engage in a fierce debate over whether video review belongs anywhere near yellow cards, while praising a clutch, world-class brace from Julián Álvarez that saved an exhausted, human-looking Lionel Messi against a disciplined Swiss squad anchored by a legendary Granit Xhaka.
The theater only intensifies as the guys shift focus to the watch party tour's very first extra-time thriller: England's dramatic 2-1 triumph over Norway. Alexis and Christian tackle a double dose of tournament controversy, starting with Erling Haaland’s disallowed go-ahead goal that was nullified by a highly questionable, soft defensive flop. They then dissect Jude Bellingham’s crucial equalizer, which was clouded by allegations that a Norwegian goal kick struck an overhead skycam cable—a claim the players explicitly pointed out but FIFA's advanced ball sensors conveniently denied.
To close out the night, the hosts look down the bracket to preview the ***** anic semifinal matchups ahead. Christian and Alexis trade tactical blueprints and drop official score predictions for the highly anticipated Spain vs. France heavyweight bout. Finally, they map out the psychological warfare and massive historical narratives set to collide when the Three Lions meet Argentina with a spot in the World Cup Final on the line.

Switzerland's well-earned reward for acting is ejection from game and elimination from World Cup originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The tears were real. Switzerland striker Breel Embolo no longer was acting by then. He covered his face in horror, aware everything he’d dreamed about at the start of the day, at the start of the 2026 World Cup, had been demolished in an instant.
First, referee Joao Pedro Silva Pinheiro held a yellow card toward the Kansas City sky; then he showed considerable dexterity by pulling a red card from his pocket and signaling to Embolo he no longer would be involved in Saturday's quarterfinal game against Argentina.
Embolo’s offense: simulation.
