Three moths ago, after the Open AI/Hugging Face incident, I half-joked that AI firms had solved the conundrum of all profit projections coming nowhere near the colossal sums invested, by pivoting from AI-as-Hero to AI-as-Menace, from which only more AI can give protection. Joke has aged pretty well.

The NBA's bad list included Wilt Chamberlain, with eight occurrences, Dikembe Mutombo, Dennis Rodman, and Walker Kessler as players who would have reached at least 26 points and nine rebounds with 100% shooting efficiency in NBA history. The author also praised Kessler as an extremely efficient center and used a derogatory expression directed at members of the Lakers when comparing him to a son of the team. https://t.co/eUNX29DBf8 #NBA #Basquete #Esporte (translated)

It is so important that European leaders acknowledge the truth as Kaja Kallas does here. Trump and the USG have been trying to force Ukraine to surrender for almost two years. There has been no recent pivot to Russia. It’s been a constant US policy www.euronews.com/2026/10/20/k...

Libor Němec wrote that he wasn't sure whether Radek's elimination from StarDance was related to the fact that people remembered his visit to the Štekl hotel in Hluboká two years ago. According to Němec, Radek came there with a gift to celebrate Milda Zeman's 80th birthday, along with other well-known personalities, among whom he mentioned Turek, Konečná, Procházka, Panenka, Fico, Kaliňák, Vráťa Mynář, and Míša Štancl David. He referred to Zeman's connection as a "kiss of death" and admitted that this might be why people did not want to send him votes. He also recalled Mr. Sládek's statement that people can be remarkably cruel, and he expressed sympathy for Radek's partner. #Stardance #celebrita #oslava (translated)

Fan Mario pointed out that the four matches at the Santiago Bernabéu in which four goals were scored corresponded to this season and that Vinicius Junior had only missed yesterday's match. He added that in none of those matches had Valverde and Tchouameni formed the double pivot. https://t.co/3bKsTWKFff #RealMadrid #Fútbol #ViniciusJunior (translated)

Fran stated that Lucas Beltrán was a great forward and that, after becoming a starter, he had immediately changed River's game. According to what he wrote, Beltrán made Correa and Almada play, held the ball, and gave fluidity to the team. He also criticized the coach for leaving him out of the Sudamericana to bring in Borré and said that he should be imprisoned. https://t.co/Ef6q5xwBe1 #RiverPlate #LucasBeltrán #FútbolArgentino (translated)

Pablo Gallego thanked Mourinho for his changes in the lineup and believed that Arda should remain in the double pivot, that Diomandé was a tough opponent for Vini, and that Fede should keep his position on the right. He also praised the return of Huijsen and said he is now looking forward to facing Barça. #Mourinho #Barça #Football (translated)

MT2 said he didn't want to see Valverde and Tchouaméni together as a double pivot again and highlighted the difference compared to other options. He considered that Arda Güler should be an indisputable starter and stated that Diomande was still improving, although he still needed to refine his final touch. According to what he wrote, the player had generated many chances and had 4 G/A in his last 3 matches. He also praised Valverde as a right back, Jude Bellingham, and the starting eleven that José Mourinho presented that day. #Fútbol #Deportes #AnálisisDePartido (translated)

Carrerismo pointed out that Erik Lira had shown his best level at Cruz Azul by moving from pivot to center-back in a three-man line, performing as a libero. According to their analysis, from that position he anticipated, led, and organized the team's play better. The author stated that, since his transfer to Monaco fell through, he perceived Lira as less decisive and inconsistent, even though he had had good matches. He added that even in his natural position as a pivot, he was not able to impose the conditions he had previously set from defense. Carrerismo mentioned Amaury García and Alan Montes as interesting alternatives in a position where, in their opinion, Lira seemed indispensable. They clarified that they did not know how much the Monaco episode had influenced Lira and that it would not be fair to attribute everything to that, but they believed the player was struggling to regain the level that had made him a reference point. #CruzAzul #FutbolMexicano #ErikLira (translated)

Carrerismo said that he was not convinced by Cruz Azul's starting eleven, although he attributed a good part of Huiqui's decisions to the team's absences. He also pointed out that the setup had more elaboration than it seemed: Montes played as a sweeper, Amaury started from the right, and Piovi occupied the left flank, while Lira moved up as a pivot to form a three-plus-one exit, instead of a static five-line defense. #CruzAzul #Fútbol #AnálisisTáctico (translated)
