What do the young forwards need to do to get a chance. Perfect game for Butler-Oyedeji. Clearly Arteta has no faith in them.

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... I'm going to keep a close eye on Benni McCarthy as new Kenya manager 🇰🇪. I've always respected him as a player. I hope he gets the South Africa job 🇿🇦 later down the line. Want him to be successful but not too successful against Nigeria 🇳🇬 haha

Possibly unfair but I think next season is win or bust for Arteta. Has to get the summer window right. If we don’t win something soon, players like Rice, Saliba etc.. are not going to stick around for ever. They’ll want to win some medals.

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄
NO CHATGPT Or other artificial stupidity: motivation
First, clarity on distinguishing AIs:
Non-generative: grammar aid, translation, dictionary, text-to-audio (e.g. Natural Reader): no problem
As long as you use the appropriate tools (least intensive in data and server energy use).
Why? Because you provide the content. Your brain is doing the most important work
Generative: ChatGPT & Co. 
You only supply the prompt, the AI supplies the content.
Why is this delegation of work problematic?
3 domains: ethical, environmental, intellectual engagement.

(Caveat: generative is probably ok for computer programming, where it can be useful and save time. Not relevant to this class.)
1) AI and ethics
Mass theft of all and everything
«learning» on books, articles, blogs, social media, images, music, cultural production, without  permission of authors/creators, and leading to their mass joblessness. Profits are not reditributed to originators. 
Permanent destruction of the mental health of underpaid precarious tech workers in the Global South (Kenya, Philippines …):
«correction» to avoid production of violent and pedophile contents etc, tech workers are obliged to watch and correct super violent contents for days on end, leading to extreme psychological suffering and trauma, from which recovery is doubtful. No or little compensation (certainly not at the level of the suffering inflicted). 
In short, an industry built on theft of real human creation and sacrifice of real human health, profiting a few megafortunes. 
2) AI and (un)sustainability

Massive consumption of electricity, water, server capacity for generative AI. 
Outcome: keep fossil fuel companies in business, using up new renewable capacity, without any satisfaction of basic human needs.
Massive misappropriation of the finance necessary for climate and ecological action (renewable generation, efficiency and retrofit for buildings, public transit, infrastructures for cycling etc) towards AI industry. 
Overall: undermine climate action, reinforce fossil industry, waste resources necessary for human development. 
3) AI and intellectual engagement

First, what learning is (or should be) about:
The goal should not (only) be the reproduction of «correct» knowledge,
But mainly personal engagement and experience of thinking about topics of interest. Personal engagement = using one’s own brain. 
The most important activity for learning and intellectual engagement is the experience of making one’s own mistakes, by trial and error, corrections based on new ideas, starting over again. Learning to recognise nuances, knowledge gaps, better explanations 
This kind of learning is possible only through using your own brain, not AI. 
Also, Ais are not «intelligent». At all. 
They simply reproduce pre-existing patterns. They «bullshit», invent false references, false facts, false data, simply because those sound plausible. VERY DANGEROUS. 
If you learn how to NOT use AI, and how to research facts and data on your own, this will serve you and your communities for the rest of your life.
