NHS Goes To War Against Open Source
The NHS is preparing to close nearly all of its Open Source repositories. Throughout my time working for the UK Government - in GDS, NHSX, i.AI, and others - I championed Open Source. I spoke to dozens of departments about it, wrote guidance still in use today, and briefed Ministers on why it was so important. That's why I'm beyond disappointed at recent moves from NHS England to backtrack on…

It retains lots of your data and is even willing to hide its authorship from open-source projects that reject AI."

Hive mind: is there a non-profit that helps Open Source projects get their builds notarized by Apple? The technical part can be tricky, but it is possible to set this up with a bit of elbow grease, but getting a legal entity approved by Apple takes a lot of paperwork. I would hope that there would be a (European) foundation or sth that has done this, and would be willing to lend their credentials to a well-known project that currently cannot publish ready-to-run macOS binaries...

Huh. A self-hosted dead man's switch... https://linuxiac.com/lastsignal-is-a-new-open-source-dead-mans-switch-you-can-self-host/ Interesting.

What is the maximum amount of value destruction that could be wrought on the big centralized commercial AI vendors, and the maximum amount of acceleration of the ecosystem of open source and community-led
alternatives, using the knowledge gained from the leak of the Claude Code source code?

So Anthropic employees are using Claude Code to contribute AI-generated code to open source repositories and hiding the fact using their own internal “undercover mode”.
Totally trustworthy people.
(Any open source project that at the very least requires disclosure of AI-authored contributions should immediately ban Anthropic employees on principle.)
