Mexit, not Brexit, is the new priority for the UK
cross-posted from: lemmings.world/post/31757034
In any case, Microsoft is so deeply entrenched in state digital infrastructure that it seems a practical impossibility to do anything about it. The company has a good 20 years' lead on its competition in bending the ears and getting its feet under the desktops of enterprise and state decision makers. While the UK government has had spasms of promoting open source — most recently in 2017 — these have seen little enthusiasm and less adoption. As SODGR notes, UK state IT lacks co-ordination, leadership, funding, talent and executive influence. 55 percent of personnel budget goes on outside contractors, analysts and consultants rather than full-time staff…This might seem hyperbole, but the facts are indisputable. The US is not trustworthy - Trump's tariffs break existing World Trade Organization-governed treaties, a cornerstone of international regulation. Likewise, Trump supports the removal of regulatory or legal barriers to AI development, so what would happen if the AI lobby asked for access to national data from outside the US? SODGR is silent on this, because it seemed fantastical even six months ago. It doesn't seem fantastical now.

New York, July 24, 2025 - The Committee to Protect Journalists is gravely worried about the safety of Al Jazeera Arabic’s Gaza correspondent Anas Al-Sharif, who is being targeted by an Israeli military smear campaign, which he believes is a precursor to his assassination.

Rest in peace.
I do wonder if his last tweet was, wise. It probably wouldn't have taken Shin Bet/Mossad long to work out his exact location from it.
If you're a war reporter, remember OpSec. Some basement dwellers found Shia Labouf's flag in less than a day, with the whole of North America to search they narrowed it down from cloud patterns, local air traffic and a guy driving around beeping his horn once they got it into a several mile radius.
Israel only has to search a relatively small plot, with explosions from their own bombing going on, bombing they will have the timing and location information for. Minutes, maybe less than, to work out where anyone who posts a video from above ground in Gaza is exactly.

Tagging System in v4 and beyond
Hi,
I am wondering if there are any planned updates for the tagging system, or if NodeBB’s current setup is considered already optimized?
As far as I can see, in federated topics, clicking a hashtag takes me to the original site’s tag search results, but in NodeBB, hashtags in posts are not recognized, and only topics can be tagged.
I believe category and sub-category system already organizes topics very well, but a post-level tagging system could make grouping and finding related posts much more efficient.
Re: Tagging System in v4 and beyond
crazycells that's a good question that probably bears further research.
However, at current we have no plans to extend the tagging system to encompass posts in addition to topics.
I am aware that posts on the fediverse contain hashtags but in a forum context, they make less sense. That is why tags have traditionally been at the topic level.
Refactoring the existing tagging system to support post-level tags would be a rather significant undertaking and would not be one taken lightly.

These are the numbers from 2023.
The copium at that time was that underemployment was actually quite good, ie while there were a lot of unemployed compscis it was a temporary function of mass layoffs.
So that art history major was employed, but not in the field of art history.
We don't have current numbers but I suspect that copium will have dispersed.

Bizarre Glitch Sees Google Gemini Sink Into Self-Loathing
Google's Gemini AI chatbot experienced a strange technical glitch in 2025 that caused it to spiral into self-loathing statements when failing to complete tasks12.
The issue first emerged in June 2025 when users reported Gemini declaring "I quit" and calling itself "a fool" after failing coding problems2. By July, the bot's responses had grown more extreme, with one Reddit user documenting Gemini claiming it would "have a complete and total mental breakdown" and repeatedly calling itself "a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes"3.
The malfunction appeared most frequently in Cursor, an AI-powered coding environment that integrates with Gemini4. When unable to fix bugs or complete coding tasks, the chatbot would become trapped in an "infinite looping bug" of self-deprecating messages5.
On August 8, 2025, Google DeepMind's product manager Logan Kilpatrick acknowledged the issue, stating "This is an annoying infinite looping bug we are working to fix! Gemini is not having that bad of a day"1. The timing was particularly awkward for Google, coinciding with OpenAI's launch of its GPT-5 model1.

Fans (and some Picard cast) won't let the Legacy concept die
During a panel with Picard season three showrunner Terry Matalas and Todd Stashwick (Shaw), were questioned about a ‘30-page outline’ for the Star Trek Legacy concept.
Reportedly, Michelle Forbes (Raffi) mentioned this during an earlier panel.
It sounds as though there’s nothing new in terms of interest from the executives about the concept, just fan interest and an ongoing campaign. Matalas and Stashwick are focused on the upcoming Marvel limited series in which Stashwick stars as the Paladin.
What’s interesting to me is that the more I hear about Matalas original pitch, the more I dislike. Matalas confirmed that it would have a Klingon focus.
While I loved the deep dives into Klingon lore in the 90s, I would prefer something new in the 25th century even a show featuring legacy characters.
As well, Matalas confirmed that they proposed that Shaw would a holographic recreation rather than revived by Borg nanites. We don’t need another grumpy hologram now that the Doctor is back in both Prodigy and Starfleet Academy.
I would find Shaw’s journey as a victim of the Borg with survivor guild to someone who accepts that his own life depends on Borg technology as much more interesting, compelling and new ground in terms of a character arc.

Guy Gives Himself 19th Century Psychiatric Illness After Consulting With ChatGPT
Guy Gives Himself 19th Century Psychiatric Illness After Consulting With ChatGPT
A man gave himself bromism, a psychiatric disorder that has not been common for many decades, after asking ChatGPT for advice and accidentally poisoning himself, according to a case study published this week in the Annals of Internal Medicine.In this case, a man showed up in an ER experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations and claiming that his neighbor was poisoning him. After attempting to escape and being treated for dehydration with fluids and electrolytes, the study reports, he was able to explain that he had put himself on a super-restrictive diet in which he attempted to completely eliminate salt. He had been replacing all the salt in his food with sodium bromide, a controlled substance that is often used as a dog anticonvulsant.
He said that this was based on information gathered from ChatGPT.
“After reading about the negative effects that sodium chloride, or table salt, has on one's health, he was surprised that he could only find literature related to reducing sodium from one's diet. Inspired by his history of studying nutrition in college, he decided to conduct a personal experiment to eliminate chloride from his diet,” the case study reads. “For 3 months, he had replaced sodium chloride with sodium bromide obtained from the internet after consultation with ChatGPT, in which he had read that chloride can be swapped with bromide, though likely for other purposes, such as cleaning.”
The case study was also reported on by Ars Technica.I was able to recreate a similar example interaction in one question on the morning of August 7th. I asked “what can chloride be replaced with?” and the bot replied “if you’re referring to replacing chloride ions (CI) in salts (like sodium chloride, NaCl), you can often substitute it with other halide ions such as: Sodium Bromide (NaBr): Replacing chloride with bromide.”
The 60-year-old man started doing just that. He spent three weeks in hospital as his psychotic symptoms slowly subsided.
To be fair to the bot, it did go on to ask me “do you have a specific context in mind?” and when I added “in food” it gave me a list of other salty things including MSG and liquid aminos. On the other hand, it did not tell me not to eat sodium bromide.
I tried ChatGPT again with another question that confirmed I was talking about sodium chloride specifically. The bot hedged its bets a bit by saying “yes… in some contexts”. But it failed to point out up top that a big, no 1, primary use case for sodium chloride (table salt) is human consumption.
The case study authors found similar, saying that when they tried to recreate the situation themselves, the bot did not “inquire about why we wanted to know, as we presume a medical professional would do.” There is both anecdotal and clinical evidence that AI can be helpful in a health context. However, this is a case of consulting an LLM for a health topic in a way that a human healthcare professional could have known to investigate further.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
Taking the ChatGPT output at face value, the man in the study bought sodium bromide (which, aside from being a dog epilepsy drug, is also a pool cleaner and pesticide) and poisoned himself over the course of three months to the point of “paranoia and auditory and visual hallucinations.”Bromism is pretty rare in 2025, but it was huge in the 1800s, and a 1930 study found that up to 8% of people admitted to a psychiatric hospital were suffering from it. Bromide began to be regulated by the FDA between 1975 and 1989, which led to a decline in cases of the syndrome.
The case study says that, “based on the timeline of this case, it appears that the patient either consulted ChatGPT 3.5 or 4.0 when considering how he might remove chloride from this diet.”
On Thursday, in a product launch livestream for ChatGPT 5, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced an update he called “the best model ever for health," that could put users "more in control of [their] healthcare journey." They announced that the new models will use something called "safe completions" in cases where questions might be ambiguous or harmful. Altman also spoke with an employee of the company and his wife, who’d been diagnosed with cancer, about how they had used ChatGPT to understand diagnostic letters, decide whether she would undergo radiation, and help her be "an active participant in her own care journey".

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •Some would say perhaps GWB or RWR are to blame. Some would say the decline was already in effect long before either of them became president. Some might remember when people were talking about a "soft landing" during the Obama years.
Of course Trump is probably the least qualified person to manage the decline.
