Sterling makes his mark against PSV as Arsenal stroll into quarter-finals

On a night when Arsenal ended the game with four left-backs on the pitch, this may not have been the biggest stage of Raheem Sterling’s illustrious career. But after a dismal loan spell from Chelsea during which the former England forward failed to live up to his reputation, he will be relieved to have finally made a contribution as Mikel Arteta’s side eased into the quarter-finals.

He provided two assists in the first half as goals from Oleksandr Zinchenko and Declan Rice ensured that Arsenal were never in danger of surrendering their record-breaking 7-1 advantage from the first leg. This time PSV Eindhoven proved more of a challenge and deserved to come away with a draw on the night thanks to equalisers from Ivan Perisic and then a sublime chip from Couhaib Driouech that denied Arteta’s side a place in the history books for the biggest aggregate victory in the knockout stages.

‘OpenAI’s metafictional short story about grief is beautiful and moving’ | Jeanette Winterson

I think of AI as alternative intelligence – and its capacity to be ‘other’ is just what the human race needs

I think of AI as alternative intelligence. John McCarthy’s 1956 definition of artificial (distinct from natural) intelligence is old fashioned in a world where most things are either artificial or unnatural. Ultraprocessed food, flying, web-dating, fabrics, make your own list. Physicist and AI commentator, Max Tegmark, told the AI Action Summit in Paris, in February, that he prefers “autonomous intelligence”.

I prefer “alternative” because in all the fear and anger foaming around AI just now, its capacity to be “other” is what the human race needs. Our thinking is getting us nowhere fast, except towards extinction, via planetary collapse or global war.
