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 parts ever reach the plant floor, helping prevent the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions 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! -

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. -

Question
seb86
I am trying to update a table row by adding photos. Now everything in the code below works, except it cannot work fully until I can get the $name = $_GET['name']; to read from the row in the table. If someone can help get it to detect this part then the rest should work.
These are the errors I get because I do not have the name displaying from the property details when creating the directory.
If you read the code below carefully you will see that the other POST fields are there becuase they are not to be overwritten.
This is the full page:-
<? $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM properties WHERE property_id='$id' AND username = '$session->username'"); while($propertyRow = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { $id = $propertyRow['property_id']; $status = $propertyRow['status']; $saletype = $propertyRow['sale_type']; $category = $propertyRow['category']; $name = $propertyRow['name']; $address = $propertyRow['address']; $village = $propertyRow['village']; $long = $propertyRow['long']; $lat = $propertyRow['lat']; $department = $propertyRow['department']; $postcode = $propertyRow['postcode']; $price = $propertyRow['price']; $featured = $propertyRow['featured']; $dateentered = $propertyRow['date_entered']; $sec = substr($propertyRow['date_entered'],17,2); $minute= substr($propertyRow['date_entered'],14,2); $hour = substr($propertyRow['date_entered'],11,2); $day = substr($propertyRow['date_entered'],8,2); $month = substr($propertyRow['date_entered'],5,2); $year = substr($propertyRow['date_entered'],0,4); $date_entered = $day."/".$month."/".$year."

if($_GET['mode'] == "update") { $id = $_GET['property_id']; $name = $_GET['name']; ///// Upload Photos ///// foreach ($_FILES["photo"]["error"] as $key => $error) { if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK){ $tmp_name = $_FILES["photo"]["tmp_name"][$key]; $photo = $_FILES["photo"]["file"][$key]; mkdir("$SITEurl/photos/properties/$session->username/$name",0777); $file = preg_replace("/([^a-z0-9])+/i", "-", $photo); move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$SITEurl/photo/properties/$session->username/$name"); chmod("$SITEurl/photo/properties/$session->username/$name", 0777); $picno = $key; $PHOTO[] = $photo; $sqlphoto = "UPDATE properties SET photo$picno = '$name' WHERE property_id = '$id'"; if(@mysql_query($sqlphoto)){ $msg = "Photo ".$picno." ".$photo." uploaded.</br>"; }else{ echo mysql_error(); } } }Now if the error was to show again because of something else the warning should read like this:-
Warning: mkdir(http://www.site.com/photos/properties/username/name) [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in
/home/account/public_html/panel/write-photos.php on line 158
Warning: move_uploaded_file(http://www.site.com/photo/properties/username/name) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: No such file or directory in /home/account/public_html/panel/write-photos.php on line 161
Notice name in bold, that part is not reading from the table, that is whats missing. I would really like to get this to work.
