I showed my 14 year old daughter this amazing chart illustrating the progression of best-selling musical artists during the 1970s and 80s, so that she would get some sense of how insane Michael Jackson’s run during the 1980s was.

And now in 2026 he’s back near the top again…😱

"Productivity gains aren't AI value. Redeployment is."
That's the line from @Accenture's @Manish_sharma on the latest From the Horse's Mouth podcast with @pfersht.

Most enterprise AI programs look great on paper and deliver nothing to the P&L. About a minute with Manish, below.

@8nousername8 @drsportsmedia I've been watching football since the 70s. You know nothing about what makes a club "big" except the cringe you are served up on Sky

@8nousername8 @drsportsmedia We finished 10th in the Champions League. One bad league season doesn't make us small. Look at Man u last year

[Phil Fersht @pfersht]

@8nousername8 @drsportsmedia We are a big club. Massive global support. Just because villa had a good couple of seasons does not make them a bigger club than spurs

[Phil Fersht @pfersht]

@8nousername8 @drsportsmedia We are the 9th richest club in the world.
