Pretty good result for the Hammers, and also an outstanding one for Swansea! First win at The Arsenal in 30 years I think!

My beloved Villa were pretty bloody useless again today, almost conjured up a goal at the death, but was not to be!

I'm still here, although as Chelsea supporter, its been a roller coaster of a season thus far. Really not sure what to say of it, really. Not a Benitez fan, really, but finally someone has come in and put the kabosh on David Luiz in defensive back. Sideshow Bob aggrivates me to no end - if he's going to be on the pitch, put him at midfield and let him run around, if anything.

I'm just getting sick of everytime checking the scores and Chicharito or RVP has some crazy ass late minute goal to steal points for MU. Getting rather irritating, actually.

It happens so frequently, it isn't luck anymore. It's written in MU's DNA :) On a serious note yesterdays clean sheet was a milestone for us because we've been leaking goals all over the place this season, hopefully with our defence back to full strength, we can tighten up at the back.

Sideshow Bob, haha great name. I agree, he's a beast in midfield & his free kicks aren't bad either. Chelsea looked strong at the start of the season and I thought they would go on to win the PL. It surprised me how bad they flopped but they aren't looking too at the moment and with a few games in hand, I think they can easily beat Man City to 2nd spot before the season is up :D

Looks like Southampton are finally getting used to the PL. We're not winning as much as we should but we're not losing either. We'd have won yesterday if it wasn't for Cameron's wonder goal. Hopefully we'll have enough to keep us out the relegation battle towards the end of the season. I think Villa is going to be there and looking like QPR also.

Well, big win @ Everton today. Thank goodness for Lampard. We'll see how bad the Cech injury is - at least we have QPR on Wednesday.

No telling what will happen in transfer window. Sounds like Ba is close to done deal - a move I like very much.

Good time to sack our manager when we seem to be on the up.

If they were going to get rid of him, they should have done it at the start of the season.

Him and Pardew have put Southampton where they are now. I think he deserved more than this.

Well at least some other team is going to get a decent manager out of this.

Your board have made you a dead cert for relegation already.

Your ex-manager I heard, will be approached by Villa very soon.

It feels that way and at the moment I wouldn't be too bothered, would feel like an I told you so to NC. However come Monday I will be 100% behind the team and new manager.

NA is a genuinely good person and a good manager, he won't be out of work for long.

Alot of tweets I saw and response from Saints fans are saying they will go down now, the new manager said he had been studying the club for several weeks...football is just cruel and mystifying sometimes!

Honestly don't understand this one. I suppose if it's been weeks in the making then yes, but the timing of it seems absurd! Lets hope NC gets this one right, the last time he sacked a manager was Pardew when we just picked up a big win. He was replaced by Adkins and we all know how that one went, hopefully lightning can strike the same place twice.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before a part ever reaches the plant floor. This hands-on process prevents the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions. CEO Jim Farley noted that this return to human oversight quickly decreased warranty coverages and recall costs. The change saves the automaker hundreds of millions of dollars as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.

      Free AI in IDEs is shifting to paid models Or you know, you could just learn to actually design and code apps, use frameworks to handle the repetitive parts and not use AI at all - and voila... free for life!

      In a sane world US antitrust laws wouldn't even allow these companies to be in the position to be subjected to EU directives. As you say, better than oligarch nothing.

      Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.
