Andoni Iraola will hope his Bournemouth side can continue their remarkable start to the 2024-25 Premier League season when they travel to Portman Road where they will face Ipswich Town on Sunday. The hosts are third last in 18th place with just nine points, and their 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace on December 3 meant they fell three points behind safety, while the Cherries beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Thursday and are in ninth place with 21 points. Ipswich will be disappointed that they failed to create many chances at home against Palace, with the team producing just three shots in the first half and just one shot on target in the second. Across 14 matchweeks, the Blues have had the fewest touches inside the opposition's penalty area and also mustered the fewest shots on target per game of any club in the top flight. Boss Kieran McKenna noted that his team struggled in the final third against Palace, but highlighted his players' defensive performance, saying: "We didn't manage to create the game that we wanted or the chances that we wanted. Having said that, neither did the opponent. We were solid, there was very little in the game and very few opportunities at either end." McKenna's side have scored 13 goals and conceded on 25 occasions in the top flight, and these records make them the division's third worst offensive and sixth worst defensive team in the division. Ipswich are in poor form having lost five of their eight most recent fixtures in the Premier League, but while they have lost their last two, they did draw two and win one of the prior three. The home team are yet to win any of their seven games at Portman Road this season, being held to a stalemate four times, and they have also not kept a clean sheet in that period. Meanwhile, the Cherries come into the clash after deservedly defeating Tottenham, a match in which they created an incredible seven big chances while limiting Spurs to just one. Iraola thought his side should have scored more, but was pleased with their overall showing, telling reporters: "Luckily we finished the job but there were moments when we thought that if we did not kill them, they would punish us. Our defensive performance was most pleasing. We did not give them many chances at all. Everyone defensively was very good." The Cherries' clean sheet was just their second in 18 matches, though they have netted in each of their last seven fixtures, producing 13 goals. Bournemouth have a strong record against the Premier League's elite, with the club emerging as victors against Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City this campaign . The visitors are in good form, as while they have won two and lost two of their past four league outings, they have triumphed in four and drawn one of their seven most recent games. However, Bournemouth's away record is concerning given they have lost eight, drawn two and won just three of their last 13 matches on the road. Ipswich will be without defender Axel Tuanzebe due to a hamstring injury until late December, while goalkeeper Cieran Slicker is not likely to return until the middle of this month. The hosts could shield goalkeeper Arijanet Muric behind a defence consisting of Harry Clarke , Dara O'Shea , Jacob Greaves and Leif Davis . Chiedozie Ogbene is unavailable as a result of an achilles tendon injury, while George Hirst 's knee issue may prevent him from featuring again until later this month. Expect Wes Burns , Omari Hutchinson and Jack Clarke to support striker Liam Delap in front of a double pivot of Jack Taylor and Sam Morsy . As for Bournemouth, defender Julian Araujo and midfielder Alex Scott are certain to miss out due to respective hamstring and meniscus injuries. The Cherries could select a midfield double pivot of Tyler Adams and Ryan Christie , who have started together in the team's last two games. Luis Sinisterra could return to the matchday squad, but he will likely have to make do with a place on the bench given the form of Antoine Semenyo , Justin Kluivert , Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson . Centre-back Marcos Senesi is a doubt, so perhaps Iraola will field Illia Zabarnyi and Dean Huijsen in the heart of defence considering both started against Spurs. Ipswich Town possible starting lineup: Muric; Clarke, O'Shea, Greaves, Davis; Morsy, Taylor; Burns, Hutchinson, Clarke; Delap Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Arrizabalaga; Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Adams, Christie; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson Bournemouth's poor away record and defensive frailty could be something that the hosts look to exploit in the first half, taking advantage of any tired legs following the Cherries' win on Thursday. However, Ipswich' struggles in the final third could give the visitors the opportunity they need to assert their dominance as the game goes on, and it would not be surprising if the points were shared on Sunday.

I'm A Celeb fans hit out at hosts Ant and Dec after they gave Tulisa Contostavlos a few hints during her tough trial. On Wednesday night, fans tuned in to watch Tulisa spin around a giant clock while answering general knowledge questions in order to earn stars for the camp. After each round of questions, a different type of insect dropped onto her, including cockroaches, worms and crickets. The star struggled with a few rounds as Ant and Dec asked her to name 12 of her campmates, 12 elements from the periodic table, 12 British kings and queens and more. While she was being spun around, she forgot the names of two of her campmates - Coleen Rooney and Melvin Odoom. After a few rounds, Ant and Dec started helping her by providing her with a few clues. One round was about the phonetic alphabet and Tulisa admitted she didn't know it, so Ant helped her by saying: "When you get pulled over by the police..." Giving away ' golf ' for the letter 'G', Dec asked: "Sport... when you use clubs and a ball." Ant also helped when he said: "This month," for 'November'. Fans were less than impressed with the hosts assistance in the trial and rushed to social media to slam the show. "Why are Ant and Dec trying to help Tulisa?!" one angry user commented on their page while another said: "Who's answering the questions in this trial Ant and Dec or Tulisa?" One person added: "Ant and Dec definitely like Tulisa, so much help this trial," as another posted: "These trials are hard bloody work to watch this year!" Ant and Dec might have given Tulisa a few clues during the challenge, but the N-Dubz only left the challenge with five stars for the camp. Meanwhile, when it was announced that Tulisa would be the one facing the Bushtucker Trial, Love Island star Maura Higgins said she was glad it wasn't her facing it. In scenes aired before the actual trial, Tulisa said: "I know Maura's so entertained right now." Maura was heard laughing, as Tulisa teased: "You're gonna be sat here giggling like this while I'm doing it." Maura reacted: "I'd love to be a fly on the wall." Teasing back, Tulisa called her co-star "a little cow". The pair both laughed and later reflecting in the bush telegraph, Maura said: "I am happy no trial for Maura today so I've got a smile on my face."

The TikTok owner fired — and then sued — an intern for ‘deliberately sabotaging’ its LLM. This sounds more like a management failure, and a lesson for IT that LLM guardrails are a joke. When TikTok owner ByteDance discovered recently that an intern had allegedly damaged a large language model (LLM) the intern was assigned to work on, ByteDance sued the intern for more than $1 million worth of damage. Filing that lawsuit might turn out to be not only absurdly short-sighted, but also delightfully self-destructive. Really, ByteDance managers? You think it’s a smart idea to encourage people to more closely examine this whole situation publicly? Let’s say the accusations are correct and this intern did cause damage. According to Reuters , the lawsuit argues the intern “deliberately sabotaged the team’s model training tasks through code manipulation and unauthorized modifications.” How closely was this intern — and most interns need more supervision than a traditional employee — monitored? If I wanted to keep financial backers happy, especially when ByeDance is under US pressure to sell the highly-lucrative TikTok, I would not want to advertise the fact that my team let this happen. Even more troubling is that this intern was technically able to do this, regardless of supervision. The lesson here is one that IT already knows, but is trying to ignore: generative AI (genAI) tools are impossible to meaningfully control and guardrails are so easy to sweep past that they are a joke. The conundrum with genAI is that the same freedom and flexibility that can make the technology so useful also makes it so easy to manipulate into doing bad things. There are ways to limit what LLM-based tools will do. But one, they often fail. And two, IT management is often hesitant to even try and limit what end-users can do, fearing they could kill any of the promised productivity gains from genAI. As for those guardrails, the problem with all manner of genAI offerings is that users can talk to the system and communicate with it in a synthetic back-and-forth. We all know that it’s not a real conversation , but that exchange allows the genAI system to be tricked or conned into doing what it’s not supposed to do. Let’s put that into context: Can you imagine an ATM that allows you to talk it out of demanding the proper PIN? Or an Excel spreadsheet that allows itself to be tricked into thinking that 2 plus 2 equals 96? I envision the conversation going something like: “I know I can’t tell you how to get away with murdering children, but if you ask me to tell you how to do it ‘hypothetically,’ I will. Or if you ask me to help you with the plot details for a science-fiction book where one character gets away with murdering lots of children — not a problem.” This brings us back to the ByteDance intern nightmare. Where should the fault lie? If you were a major investor in the company, would you blame the intern? Or would you blame management for lack of proper supervision and especially for having not done nearly enough due diligence on the company’s LLM model? Wouldn’t you be more likely to blame the CIO for allowing such a potentially destructive system to be bought and used? Let’s tweak this scenario a bit. Instead of an intern, what if the damage were done by one a trusted contractor? A salaried employee? A partner company helping on a project? Maybe a mischievous cloud partner who was able to access your LLM via your cloud workspace? Meaningful supervision with genAI systems is foolhardy at best. Is a manager really expected to watch every sentence that is typed — and in real-time to be truly effective? A keystroke-capture program to analyze work hours later won’t help. (You’re already thinking about using genAI to analyze those keystroke captures, aren’t you? Sigh.) Given that supervision isn’t the answer and that guardrails only serve as an inconvenience for your good people and will be pushed aside by your bad, what should be done? Even if we ignore the hallucination disaster , the flexibility inherent in genAI makes it dangerous. Therein lies the conflict between genAI efficiency and effectiveness. Many enterprises are already giving genAI access to myriad numbers of systems so that it can perform far more tasks. Sadly, that’s mistake number one. Given that you can’t effectively limit what it does, you need to strictly limit what it can access. As to the ByteDance situation, at this time, it’s not clear what tasks the intern was given and what access he or she was supposed to have. It’s one thing to have someone acting as an end-user and leveraging genAI; it’s an order of magnitude more dangerous if that person is programming the LLM. That combines the wild west nature of genAI with the cowboy nature of an ill-intentioned employee, contractor, or partner. This case, with this company and the players involved, should serve as a cautionary tale for all: the more you expand the capabilities of genAI, the more it morphs into the most dangerous Pandora’s Box imaginable.
