A.I. Zero-Sum Hypothesis

I was kicking around with the idea of a glass ceiling. The preliminary was run through A.I. (Google Search) , mostly for entertainment purposes, but also to see if there is anything comparable.

As I did I could see the possibility of a “Zero-Sum Situation” developing in the future. Will A.I’s capabilities outweigh human expression to the point where fictious writing posted on the internet is deem a danger to their existence, and the proper authority is dispatched to their location by A.I. immediately? In some instances it can be beneficial in the saving of lives, yet when the pendulum swings too far the the right other people will be affected as well. Its all speculative yet if not checked or investigated, by the time it has evolved it may be too late to stop it.

Judge for yourself.

The piece:

Untitled

The edge of the red rose
cut the glass
the ceiling fell
landing all around me.

What horridness
for now, shame concludes my life.
Undeserving am I
for that glass ceiling
was meant forever.

HONOURS: The Swansea professor changing how we talk about suicide — from the Senedd to EastEnders

A Swansea University professor whose work has changed how Britain understands and prevents suicide has been appointed OBE in His Majesty The King’s Birthday Honours.

Prof Ann John of Swansea University Medical School is recognised for services to suicide prevention and digital innovation — the most senior honour on this year’s local list, which is led by a poignant MBE for the late Swansea councillor Robert Francis-Davies.

“I am deeply honoured and delighted to receive this award,” she said. “It reflects the importance of suicide prevention and the power of digital innovation, research and collaboration to make a real difference to people’s lives.

“I have been privileged to work with exceptional colleagues, partners and communities, and I share this honour with everyone who has contributed to that work over many years.”

A former GP, Prof John is a world-leading expert in suicide prevention, self-harm research and mental health data science.

She is principal investigator and co-director of DATAMIND, the Health Data Research UK hub for mental health informatics research — and director of the National Centre for Suicide Prevention and Self-harm Research, which advises the Welsh Government.

Her research has advanced understanding of the causes and risk factors linked to suicide and self-harm — challenging long-held assumptions and widening the focus beyond specialist psychiatry into primary care and community settings.

That work has helped shape national policy, informed frontline practice — and improved the way suicide is reported in the media.

It has also reached millions of living rooms: Prof John has contributed to major TV productions including EastEnders, Coronation Street and the BBC’s This Is Going to Hurt, helping to ensure the responsible portrayal of suicidal behaviours on screen.

By bringing research findings to the public and to organisations across health and education, the university says she has helped increase awareness and reduce stigma around mental health and self-harm.

She also plays a leading role in advancing secure, privacy-preserving access to mental health data for research — working with NHS partners, policymakers, researchers and people with lived experience to ensure data-driven innovation delivers real benefits for patients and communities.

The OBE caps a remarkable year: earlier in 2026, Prof John was elected to the Academy of Medical Sciences in recognition of her outstanding contribution to medical science.

She will receive her insignia at an investiture later this year.

She is among 84 people from Wales recognised in this year’s list — and Welsh expertise in the field is recognised twice over, with consultant psychiatrist Alys Cole-King also appointed MBE for services to suicide prevention.

If you are struggling or need someone to talk to, the Samaritans are available day or night, free, on 116 123, or by email at [email protected].

The Red Star Banner is more than a banner.

It is a symbol of hope. A symbol of recognition. A reminder that Red Star Families are seen, supported, and never forgotten.

Because behind every suicide is a family whose story continues.

❤️ Hope.
⭐ Recognition.
🤝 Connection.
