TOKYO – A 25-year-old man has been served a fresh arrest warrant for allegedly creating a computer virus using generative artificial intelligence (AI), the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD)'s cybercrime control division announced on May 28, in what is believed to be the first such case in Japan....
It’s worth reading the article, and better articles are available in the UK press too.
The coverup came from ignorance, no one actually knew this was happening but the NHS staff had reason to reassure patients and just assumed everything was ok without looking hard.
NHS management also didn’t look.
When ministers tried to ask about it they got told everything was fine by their civil servants. And so they go out and tell the press everything is fine.
No one can start an investigation for the suspicions because it looks like admitting it’s happening, and they genuinely didn’t know it was. Because there had been no investigation.
“Standing back and viewing the response of the NHS and of government, the answer to the question ‘was there a cover-up?’ is that there has been. Not in the sense of a handful of people plotting in an orchestrated conspiracy to mislead, but in a way that was more subtle, more pervasive and more chilling in its implications. To save face and to save expense, there has been a hiding of much of the truth,” Langstaff wrote.
“Over decades successive governments repeated lines to take that were inaccurate, defensive and misleading. Its persistent refusal to hold a public inquiry, coupled with a defensive mindset that refused to countenance that wrong had been done, left people without answers, and without justice. This has also meant that many people who are chronically ill have felt obliged to devote their time and their energies to investigating and campaigning, often at great personal cost.”
They’re really, really bad at context. The main failure case isn’t making things up, it’s having text or image in part of the result not work right with text or image in another part because they can’t even manage context across their own replies.

The Chinese president’s visit to Europe yielded little breakthrough on issues like trade and Ukraine. But it did show that Beijing prefers to work one-on-one to avoid collective opposition to its interests....
I don’t know, does he realise how weak this visit made him look? It just looks like he’s scared to me.
Visiting a couple of 2nd or 3rd tier nations gives the appearance of someone not trying to get anything done, just bask in paid for glory from people too small to matter.
(Yes I’m from the UK and this entire comment is a dig at France. Come at me)
Visiting France only, then two client states, drags France down to the level of client state. Not the nation itself of course but it makes the visit look uninportant.
Why not Germany? Why visit the EU and only one of France and germany? Sure France is important but the way this has been done by China doesn’t give the appearance of a country seriously engaging with the global stage. It looks like they popped into France on the way to some friends. Or deliberately chose one of France and Germany to try and stir something.
Overall not a serious visit showing “disunity in Europe” but a poor attempt at stirring trouble and revealing how little china cares about anyone it can’t just buy and bully into obedience.
