So don’t buy ford, got it
Also implies they didn’t re-hire women
How does it imply that?
I’m an engineer and I don’t have a beard
“How do I make this about me?”
When a car company has this many recalls, it should be enough to automatically ban all of their unsold vehicles from the streets. Until they pass several inspections and audits.
Who knows how many people died or were irreversibly injured due to at least 11 million faulty cars. That number is still probably on the low end.
All this policy would do is encourage manufacturers to bury defects so that they don’t have any recalls.
What do you think they do now?
Volkswagen anyone?
They will fire these people again the minute they get AI working the way they want it. They better be getting extra compensation for returning.
buying time so they can force the “returned employees” to train south america,eastern european and some indian tech engineers and then fire the american ones.
They didn’t buy the hype; they knew it was bullshit from the start. Seriously, do we think upper-level management can’t understand such a simple message that we’ve been repeating for years? … Of course they knew; they always knew; they got bonuses for pretending not to know.
The above-average proportion of narcissists in c-suites combined with a “magic box” that tells you how smart and insightful all your ideas are and how you’re such a special big-penised boy for having them leading to delusional behaviour seems on track for me.
Yeah, but they thought they would be the one that would be able to harness AI. Like all the others
Nope, they are legit that stupid. They’re professional idiots who only know things about their tiny niche and have NO idea what everyone else does. They have no idea how much work goes into a product, they just think that everyone does what they do, meaning “Just type/draw some stuff”.
Im glad they are struggling. All corporations are bad.
Ironic the first successful car company from the early 1900s has come to this.
Uuuhmm akshually, in real capitalism we don’t need any regulations, because if the company releases a very faulty product, no one will buy it, so the company will collapse.
So, uhh, the solution is - we need more capitalism ☝️🤓
Fools. You’re only supposed to fire enough that the leftovers hustle harder at the expense of their physical and mental well-being, not enough to noticeably affect the profit.
Like the post says, their mistake was thinking ai worked, when really it’s true purpose is giving an excuse to get fewer employees to work harder.
Hope the engineers asked for significant hikes over their previous salaries
i would asked at least triple, and 1-2 years(for each worked previously) of severence if laid off again.
There was a brief time in the early 90s when Object-Oriented Programming was still new to the business world. Clueless managers thought it meant somebody could draw a box labeled “Do Payroll” and somehow software would appear. They’re doing that same thing now with AI.
Your average MBA
Clueless managers and completely misunderstanding new trends, name a more iconic duo.
As an experienced software engineer with tons of OOP experience, I have no idea what this is even supposed to mean.
Except object oriented programming is a real thing that exists.
Yeah but it doesn’t work out described, if you do it wrong then it won’t work
While Output = wrong
Run CreateOutput
Print Output.Wait really?
Tell me you’re a manager without telling me
It’s amazing how these people can essentially burn billions, trillions combined, even, of dollars on very avoidable mistakes and it’s a “whoopsie” but you ask for a fraction of it to go to the citizens and it’s “a waste of money” or “might not work despite all the evidence from elsewhere”.
And then also the execs get a few million dollars a year in bonuses and such because they’re “so smart and important.”
They thought they could treat their workers shitty and it backfired spectacularly on them! I only wish karma was this quick and brutal for other firms that treat their workers the same way.
It’s not impossible with a set of highly trained individual AI’s like one that’s good at designing engines and one that’s good at determining market procurement and so on all being managed by a central AI. Taking a singular model and giving it the whole task just isn’t there yet, much less tasking an LLM with the job.
🤣 How Ford Is Embracing AI To Drive Innovation In The Automotive Industry
Nov 23, 2025, 04:58pm EST
Today, Ford is betting on the next stage of technology innovation–AI. With annual revenues of $185 billion, Ford ranks 19 on the Fortune 1000, and markets automobiles and commercial vehicles across the globe. So, how does a company that pioneered an earlier era of innovation adopt the next wave, manifested by artificial intelligence (AI), to optimize its business operations for the next generation of customers?
It’s funny. I was on the Detroit factory tour in August, and it was all about the human factor andnhow great itnisntonhabe human expertise and skill behind Every FORD Truck.
Interesting. The PR team seemed to have got it at the local level. Maybe the AI bit from the article I posted was trying to reach the money people. I’m guessing the money people don’t buy Fords as a rule.
Well the article’s from November, and they probably didn’t touch the tour script before then. It’s just funny how in a few months things have gone so tits-up.
Could tell this was forbes just from the hogwash in that excerpt.
No wonder their trucks and SUVs look like slop.
