De Inspectie Gezondheidszorg en Jeugd onderzocht van 87 grote ggz-organisaties of de beveiliging van hun digitale systemen op orde was. Dat was bij slechts zes organisaties zo.
Een klacht, bezwaar, subsidieaanvraag of sollicitatiebrief is zó gemaakt met een chatbot. Instanties worden daardoor overspoeld met brieven vol feitelijke onjuistheden en verkeerde aannames. AI maakt bezwaar maken makkelijker, maar gehoord worden moeilijker.

As a football newsletter whose entire raison d’etre is sending people emails they are desperate to receive and read, Football Daily is fully behind Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentinian has taken a leaf out of our tried-and-trusted playbook by electing to use the medium of email to let assorted soccerball players around the world know whether or not they’d been selected to play for Team USA USA USA at this summer’s Geopolitics World Cup. His method of communication has been criticised in some quarters due to its lack of a personal touch for those who have not made the cut, with some American hacks saying those left out were at least owed an explanatory phone call from the Argentinian. Defending himself, Pochettino pointed out that as a player, he wouldn’t have wanted to converse with a manager who had just cut him from an international squad because ... well, why would you bother?

Ferrari is different from other carmakers, and so are its product launches. So revered is the company in its native Italy that among the first people to sit behind the wheel of its first electric vehicle were the country’s president, and the pope.
Yet judging by the backlash from investors, some critics and – inevitably – a horde of online commenters, the sportscar manufacturer may need help from a higher power if it is to win over its traditional fanbase.
The Luce (pronounced “loo-chey”, Italian for “light”) is priced for the super-wealthy, at €550,000 (£476,000), with an electric motor for each wheel and the ability to get from zero to 100km/h in 2.5 seconds. But the design, led by the former Apple executive Jony Ive, has proven controversial. It is certainly unlike any Ferrari has made before.

Nearly half a million Russian soldiers have been killed in Ukraine since the start of Vladimir Putin’s invasion more than four years ago, according to a new estimate from the head of the British spy agency GCHQ.
Anne Keast-Butler, the chief of the electronic intelligence agency, said in her first speech in the job that Russian forces were “going backwards on the battlefield” inside Ukraine for the first time since late 2022.

On 20 April 1986, Carlo Petrini was part of a group who cooked and distributed spaghetti to passers-by in Piazza di Spagna in Rome. The huge pot of pasta was their response to the opening, the previous month, of the biggest McDonald’s in the world just metres from where they stood. For Petrini and fellow members of Arcigola, a group dedicated to the pleasures of food and shared political ideals, the opening of McDonald’s in the centre of Rome represented an attack on Italian culinary identity, local biodiversity and the natural rhythms of life: the spaghetti was a declaration of resistance.
A few months laters, during a meeting over dinner at Osteria dell’Unione in Treiso, southern Piedmont, the group came up with the idea of trying to stem the fast food invasion, whose single value was profit. The essayist Folco Portinari, then head of the Rai TV company, wrote the text, while Petrini gathered signatures, and on 3 November 1987, a manifesto was published on the front page of Gambero Rosso, a supplement of the communist newspaper Il Manifesto.

Wie er, net als de Nederlanders, ook al een hekel aan al dat klimaatbeleid hebben, zijn... de mensen die al dat klimaatbeleid bedenken. Brusselse nieuwssite Politco meldt dat Eurocommissarissen ervan balen dat ze heen en weer moeten rijden naar Straatsburg in hun elektrische auto's, omdat ze daarbij een tussenstop aan de laadpaal moeten maken. "The roadside break has become a growing source of irritation for some of Ursula von der Leyen’s top team, officials from three commissioners’ cabinets told POLITICO, as the EU executive’s green fleet struggles to make the regular trip to the European Parliament in one go." Opladen duurt 20 tot 30 minuten, tijd die ook besteed had kunnen worden aan het bedenken van nog meer burgerhatende plannen. Met de trein gaan kan ook al niet, want wat nou als er een gevoelig telefoontje (bijvoorbeeld met de baas van Pfizer) moet worden gepleegd!? De Hongaar Olivér Várhelyi heeft een oplossing bedacht: hij stapt gewoon in een busje met zijn collega's. Wie hier trouwens geen last van heeft, is Ursula von der Leyen. "Von der Leyen is also exempt from the EV headache. The Commission president’s car must be armored for security reasons, one official said, adding that no suitable armored electric model is currently available." Baas boven baas, natuurlijk.
Ronald Koeman heeft woensdag op een persconferentie zijn WK-selectie toegelicht. De bondscoach verdedigde onder meer zijn keuze om de ik-persoon niet mee te nemen: "Je kiest ervoor om de eerste persoon enkelvoud thuis te laten."
"Je maakt keuzes", beargumenteerde Koeman. "Dan zie je dat de ik-persoon niet het gewicht meegeeft aan de woorden die je wilt gebruiken. Je merkt dat het woord ik een stukje energie mist, een stukje eigen stijl ook. Dat zie je tijdens de trainingen, maar ook in de kleedkamer. Nou, oké, als je dan vindt dat de eerste persoon enkelvoud karakter mist, als je vaststelt dat hij niet fris oogt, dan maak je die keuze. Dat is wat je doet, keuzes maken. En met je bedoel je dan ik."
