NHS Goes To War Against Open Source

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…

I've always thought it was a bit ironic that git was designed to be perfectly decentralized, only to have Github become the one centralized way one uses git (for many people, at any rate).

One aspect of open source development that some organisations have difficulty with, is that it's such a good signal of an organisation's resource priorities. There's no point putting out a statement saying you're still committed to something, when a key project repo hasn't had a commit in months.

Being an Open Source developer is the closest I ever got to being a scientist. But at least my code has taken flight on Mars (didn't get the github badge for it, though, as the relevant project is not github hosted)

And here is a first try on the snippet for open vs. closed source. Honestly, it doesn't look as good, as the first one. Maybe because, the flag colors are missing?
Any other ideas?

RE: https://dice.camp/@realms/116459545804565917
I'd argue that "AI"-based development creates a bigger attack surface on closed source/proprietary software than open source software:
1. It's more likely that internal software development uses LLMs as they're most affordable to companies; leaving them more vulnerable to prompt injection and other types of attacks targeting LLM use.
2. It's more likely that internal commits aren't vetted as much (or even purely vibe-coded) as ones in open source projects.
3. It's more likely that attacks on open source projects are discovered quicker.
Also a reminder that the "Mythos" thing—like all the other doomerist things coming out of "AI" companies—is a marketing stunt to get Anthropic free press coverage.
