I will go on record as still backing Arne Slot, which for many will brand me as a heretic. I can live with that.
I don't always agree with Tomkins, but his piece today was excellent and I fully agree with the vast majority of his arguments.
I would go even further, suggesting the failure (not Slot's) to land a proper CDM, has been a hole below the waterline for two seasons.

Here's my short essay from my test. It's about AI, and the impact of technology in general. Go easy on me. (Actual proper citations were not needed)
——
La tecnología mšs importante en la sociedad actual es el inteligencia artificial, IA, o el acrónimo inglés, “AI”.
“AI” es una tecnología relativamente nueva. Él aparecí al comienzo del ano 2023 y cambió ršpidamente la manera que los personas en línea buscaban y creaban. Realmente, “AI” no esta inteligente, mejor dicho uno modelo de lenguaje grande, “LLM” en inglés. LLM significa que los ordenadores que les alimentan no usan razón, pero los intentos a predecir una respuesta de una pregunta o mensaje en función de los patrones de palabras y mensajes en les bancos de datos.(1)
La tecnología ha contribuido en gran medida al progreso del sociedad. La tecnología agrícola lo hizo posible para humanidad a crecer y cambiar de nómada a creer asentamientos y eventualmente ciudades mas grandes. La hecha posible a usar recursos del medio ambiente en nos sociedades. Pero la tecnología ha creado grandes problemas también como desigualdad o cambio climštico.
Yo creo que, en la mayoría de situaciones, la tecnología es una fuerza positiva en la sociedad. Las problemas son creado por los personas sin moralidad, a menudo para la acumulación de la riqueza, influencia, y autoridad. Si la población puede mantener la influencia democrštica para reglamentar la tecnología, como la AI, para el beneficio de la población y los individuos, entonces la tecnología puede contribuir a la progresión de la sociedad.
Finalmente, si los individuos son compasivos y respetuosos, la tecnología reflejarš esa también.
