at least they’re getting paid obscene amount of money to make these moronic decisions, at least there’s that
Watch out Tesla. Dumbest car company of the year might not be your prize this year.
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.”
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?
The one good thing about ai is that it exposes the morons
Idk of it even does though… Who at ford is going to take the rap for this?
Will if one would fall for this it would be a sign of progress.
But probably it’s beyond repair and the capitalistic advantage (of the y model Ford) is lost forever
Yeah… Some company or other is going to go bankrupt over this. That will be the start of a fun few months…
Check out brazil and Argentina’s economies. They both deregulated collapsed the middle class. They are both in Golden Ages down there.
Live by the coup die by the coup
Funny thing is, its all in the C-suite.
Listen to your engineers for gods sake
But they don’t have MBA’s!!!
That one person at Ford going I told you so must feel so vindicated
Except that was the first person they laid off.
You wouldn’t vibe code a car…
Classic Ford
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.
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.
Clueless managers and completely misunderstanding new trends, name a more iconic duo.
Your average MBA
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
Wait really?
Tell me you’re a manager without telling me
While Output = wrong
Run CreateOutput
Print Output.
As an experienced software engineer with tons of OOP experience, I have no idea what this is even supposed to mean.
No wonder their trucks and SUVs look like slop.
Imagine all the recalls they didn’t do because being sued and settling costs less
That’s not actually how recalls (usually) work. Companies don’t unilaterally decide when a recall happens or not.
Right but OP watched Fight Club.
If Monsanto can hide the fact that they paid off scientists to say Glyphosate is safe for 30 years when they knew it caused cancer, I don’t know whether I can trust that. I’m sure they have ways to hide recalls to deny, delay, and defend the process…
That depends on how many political “contributions” the company has made.
🤣 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?
Could tell this was forbes just from the hogwash in that excerpt.
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.
The people responsible for this obviously stupid mistake were replaced, right? Right?
Crazy how these tweets/notes dont have CEO being held responsible !? Like no names nothing. But have one good quarter and they are in FORBES magazine COVER
Yes, ironically with AI
