Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has responded to speculation suggesting he could quit the club at the end of the season [url=http://www.cheapbasketballaustralia.com/kevin-durant-shoes-for-sale.html]kevin durant shoes australia[/url] , describing the rumors as 'garbage'.

A rumour started by the Daily Mail had earlier claimed that the United boss has become 'increasingly detached' and has been spending much more time in London, where his family is still based. The story had labeled his future a 'growing concern' for club staff.

Yet when met with the inevitable questions as he faced the media on Thursday afternoon ahead of the upcoming FA Cup clash with Derby County, Mourinho defiantly denied there being any truth.

"If you want to speak about some news, I say garbage! I don't find a better word to define the talk," the 54-year-old said on the subject.

"If you want to ask me directly if I see myself next season in Manchester United, I say I see myself [here] and [url=http://www.cheapbasketballaustralia.com/]www.cheapbasketballaustralia.com[/url] , as I told you when I arrived, I am going to leave when the club wants me to leave because I have no intention to leave at all," he then clarified.

"My intention is to stay and to work and to improve and to bring the club to where the club belongs. I want to stay. I don't see any reason not to stay."

Mourinho further pointed out that he is only halfway through the second year of a three-year contract.

He commented: "My desire is to stay. It's just a question of the club, the owners, the board, Mr [Ed] Woodward [url=http://www.cheapbasketballaustralia.com/]cheap nike basketball shoes australia[/url] , [and what] they all want, [if] they all are happy with my contribution and they want me to stay beyond the end of this contract."

Specifically addressing the part of the Mail's report which hinted at lessening interest in his role as United boss, seemingly indicated by more frequent trips 'home' to London, Mourinho suggested that is the most offensive part of the claims.

"I think the worst thing somebody can do to me is to put one inch of doubt in my professionalism, in my dedication to my club, to my job [url=http://www.cheapbasketballaustralia.com/]cheap adidas basketball shoes australia[/url] , to my players, to every detail related to my job," he stated.

"So, yes, the garbage news affected me just on this aspect but again I repeat, I am in the middle of my contract. If I am going to sign a new one or not [url=http://www.cheapbasketballaustralia.com/]nike basketball shoes australia[/url] , of course depends on the club. But my commitment with the club is total."(Agencies)

In Las Vegas this week you can learn a lot about the exciting potential of artificial intelligence. You can also be left wondering whether AI is a triumph of marketing, yet to deliver real improvements to the economy and the way we live.

One of my first stops here was at a University of Las Vegas robotics lab. Scientists there were working on projects ranging from drones to virtual reality, but they were also collaborating with the team behind one of the stars of the robot world,

Sophia is a humanoid robot with a face that strays dangerously close to that "Uncanny Valley" where machines look just a little too human for comfort. She achieved fame and some notoriety when Saudi Arabia named her its first robot citizen, a stunt which saw many question whether machines were now being given freedoms denied to Saudi women.

Sophia is the work of Hanson Robotics, an American firm with a base in Hong Kong. We had come to see her take her first halting steps on legs which are the work of this university lab.

Then it was time for a handshake and a chat [url=http://www.cheapbasketballaustralia.com/]adidas basketball shoes australia[/url] , with Sophia responding remarkably articulately to my questions - though I should say she'd had advance notice of what I'd ask.

In many ways, this a hugely impressive project combining expertise in robotics, speech recognition and machine learning developed by American and Chinese scientists.

But when I ask what practical purpose she serves, Hanson Robotics founder David Hanson is somewhat vague, mentioning work with autistic children and a role as a work of art.

He is, however [url=http://www.cheapbasketballaustralia.com/men-s-adidas-james-harden-ls-2-black-white.html]Men's Adidas James Harden LS 2 Black White Australia[/url] , a man with a startling ambition to use Sophia as a platform to achieve the holy grail, Artificial General Intelligence where machines can outperform humans at any intellectual task.

He admits she is, in many ways, about as intelligent as an amoeba at present, but is hopeful that as she interacts with humans she will learn and grow. "Our aspiration is to bring the machines to life," he tells me.

It's a vision that will be met with scepticism by scientists who think the humanoid path is the wrong route for AI [url=http://www.cheapbasketballaustralia.com/men-s-adidas-harden-vol-2-mvp-black-gold.html]Men's Adidas Harden Vol. 2 MVP Black Gold Australia[/url] , and with fear from those nervous about killer robots.

Elsewhere we find more immediate attempts to turn AI into saleable products. Voice-controlled devices are everywhere, with Amazon's Alexa now facing a more sustained challenge from the Google and its Assistant. The two giants seem convinced that our homes will soon echo to the sound of people yelling orders at everything from the light switches to the microwave.

And out on the Las Vegas streets the battle to prove self-driving cars are imminent is in full swing. I hitched a ride in an autonomous taxi, a collaboration between Uber rival Lyft and the technology firm Aptiv which has bought up AI teams from both Carnegie Mellon and MIT.

The autonomous driving mode was impressive, keeping a close eye on pedestrians, but as soon as we arrived at Caesars Palace the human driver had to take over - the casinos are still cautious about allowing this kind of technology on their land.

In downtown Las Vegas, I then hopped into a more futuristic vehicle [url=http://www.cheapbasketballaustralia.com/men-s-nike-kyrie-4-white-black.html]Men's Nike Kyrie 4 White Black Australia[/url] , a taxi with no driver, no steering wheel or pedals. It made its way around a block of streets set aside for autonomous vehicles, but it was not the smoothest ride, with the vehicle lurching to a halt at any hint of an obstacle. Still, Navya the French transport company behind this project, insists its Autonom taxi will be in service in cities in the United States and Australia very soon [url=http://www.cheapbasketballaustralia.com/men-s-nike-kyrie-4-triple-black.html]Men's Nike Kyrie 4 Triple Black Australia[/url] ,

But the most confident statement about artificial intelligence at the conference was made by Baidu. Its AI supremo Qi Lu took to a st
