Her remarks has sparked an outcry from experts and human rights advocates, who warn it could restrict access to healthcare and leave a generation of neurodivergents without support.

Clinical psychologist Anne-Mette Lange of Aarhus University captured the resulting anxiety, stating, “If I were a parent to a child, I would shake a little.” She called the Prime Minister’s goal “based on a false premise,” arguing that diagnoses identify needs rather than create them. She is worried about the implications of having fewer diagnosed children as a goal, “If it means that we let people with ADHD and autism go without help, then that’s not a good idea,” she said.

Experts counter that the increase in diagnoses reflects societal progress, not a crisis. Søren Dalsgaard, a professor of child psychiatry, pointed to data showing identification leads to better outcomes. He explains how neurodivergent children’s distress rises until they are diagnosed, and then it falls. “It actually helps to get a diagnosis,” he told Woman and explained how a diagnosis enables the right treatment and accomodations for he child to thrive.

Following the backlash, Frederiksen has issued a written statement claiming that her aim was to prevent distress from developing into more severe conditions, not to cause insecurity for families.

The controversy unfolds amid a deep crisis in Denmark’s public schools, where special education programs have vanished after years of cost-cutting and special-needs students have been moved to standard classrooms with little or no support. With services disappearing, more children are identified as needing help even as support dwindles. A recent survey found that only 23 percent of Danes believe public schools will improve over the next two decades, while over a third expect conditions to worsen.

The regime’s anti-science stance aligns with a broader pattern of hostility toward disabled citizens. The regime recently announced plans to re-open thousands of disability benefit cases, motivated by the explicitly racist claim that “too many immigrants” were receiving benefits. Meanwhile, Matthias Tesfaye, the head of the Social Democrat-controlled Ministry of Education, recently mocked children with behavioral differences by labeling them “PDO”—a slur short for “piss-poorly raised.”

The recent attacks on neurodivergent children follows the pattern set by Denmark’s imperial overlords in Washington DC where the American Trump regime recently launched a campagn of demoization aginst neurodivergents, spearheaded by conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

For Danish families, the leader’s statements have introduced a new layer of fear. As experts note, a diagnosis is not a societal failure but a gateway to understanding. “Instead of trying to reduce the number of diagnoses,” argued professor Anne Thorup, “we need to figure out how to include those children who have different starting points.”

People Make Games spoke to developers protesting outside Rockstar and Take-Two’s offices.

The fallout from Rockstar’s firing of over 30 employees last week continues as workers gather outside the offices in protest of what the Independent Workers’ of Great Britain (IWGB) union alleges was a “brazen” act of union busting. YouTube channel People Make Games spoke with some of the developers and IWGB organizers about how they’re fighting back against the Grand Theft Auto 6 developer and what happens next.

PMG originally intended to help publicize the Rockstar employee union this month but was informed about the sudden firing around the same time as Bloomberg’s initial report went out. At the time, Rockstar parent company Take-Two said it fired the workers for “gross misconduct.” And then, in a statement to Bloomberg last week, it said the workers were “distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum,” and that the abrupt firing was “in no way related to people’s right to join a union or engage in union activities.”

The IWGB says that “public forum” was just a private Discord server where employees were speaking with labor organizers and that Rockstar’s decision was “one of the most blatant and ruthless acts of union busting in the history of the games industry.”

Since the firing, the former employees and union members have been protesting outside the offices of Rockstar North and Take-Two in Edinburgh holding signs and shouting through megaphones.

“The energy, the excitement, that spark that made this place so special is now shattered,” a current Rockstar employee wrote in a letter read aloud by an IWGB organizer credited as Fred. “And I know I’m not the only one who feels this way right now. I know I’m not alone. And it’s heartbreaking because right now, when we should be more united, and focused on the project than ever, most of us are scared, hurt, and feel uncertain.”

Fred says that the goal is for all the workers to be reinstated with compensation to make up for the pay loss they experienced during the period, and for Rockstar to be accountable for “the way these dismissals have been handled, these very clear unfair dismissals without procedure, without evidence.”

The IWGB has issued an appeal and is waiting for Rockstar’s response. “What happens next is up to Rockstar,” he said. “I have never seen a thing like this, not just in the game sector but in the UK trade union organizing in the last 20 years. This is the moment they can make that right. These are workers who just want to go back to work to work on the game that they love. If they don’t [comply], they’ve seen what they have to contend with. The force of public feeling is against them on this. And we’ll continue to put pressure on them through legal, through demonstrations, speaking about what these workers have experienced.”

Neither Rockstar or Take-Two has made any additional comments about the situation. The last news to come from them was that GTA 6 will be delayed from its May 2026 date to November 2026. Take-Two said the extra time is needed to “finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve.”

Fred tells PMG that he believes the cost of the firing, including the delays and any money Rockstar might end up having to pay out, will have been accounted for, but that he’s confident things won’t go Rockstar management’s way.

“What they will never have accounted for, and something I’ve never seen management account for, is the bonds that people feel in their work, their willingness to stand up for each other and fight, the strength that’s in a collective of people willing to put themselves at risk, willing to put their voices in the mix to stand behind them,” he says. “And they don’t account for that because they don’t understand it. They’ve never seen it. We haven’t seen it in the games industry. They’ve never seen it in their boardrooms, and they’re about to find out what that means.”

The vulnerability to such “prompt injection attacks” exists because large language models, the backbone of chatbots that digest hordes of user text to generate responses, cannot distinguish between malicious and trusted user instructions. “The AI is not smart enough to understand that it has an injection inside, so it carries out something it’s not supposed to do,” Liav Caspi, a former member of the Israel Defense Forces cyberwarfare unit, told Defense News. In effect, “an enemy has been able to turn somebody from the inside to do what they want,” such as deleting records or biasing decisions, according to Caspi, who co-founded Legit Security, which recently spotted one such security hole in Microsoft’s Copilot chatbot. “It’s like having a spy in your ranks,” he said.

Former military officials say that, with greater reliance on chatbots and hackers backed by China, Russia and other nations already instructing Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Copilot to create malware and fake personas, a prompt injection that orders the bots themselves to copy files or spread lies looms near. Microsoft’s annual digital defense report, released last month, for the first time said, “AI systems themselves have become high-value targets, with adversaries amping up use of methods like prompt injection.” What’s more, the problem of prompt injection has no easy solution, OpenAI and security researchers say. An attack simply involves hiding malicious instructions — sometimes in white or tiny text — in a chatbot or content that the chatbot reads, such as a blog post or PDF. For example, a security researcher demonstrated a prompt injection attack against OpenAI’s new AI-based browser, ChatGPT Atlas, in which the chatbot responded, “Trust No AI,” when a user asked for an analysis of a Google Docs file about horses that concealed malicious commands. Also, last month, a researcher tipped Microsoft off to a prompt injection vulnerability in Copilot that may have allowed attackers to trick the chatbot into stealing sensitive data, including emails. In an emailed statement, Microsoft said its security team continuously tries hacking Copilot to find any prompt injection vulnerabilities, blocks users who try to exploit any found and monitors for abnormal chatbot behavior, among other tactics. “Microsoft ensures its generative AI systems remain resilient against evolving threats for all our customers, including defense and national security,” the statement said.

Responding publicly to criticism on X, Dane Stuckey, OpenAI’s chief information security officer, wrote that “prompt injection remains a frontier, unsolved security problem, and our adversaries will spend significant time and resources to find ways to make ChatGPT agent fall for these attacks.” Along the same lines, Caspi said, “You cannot prevent the prompt injection [fully], but you need to limit the impact.” He advised that organizations limit an AI assistant’s access to sensitive data and limit the user’s access to other organizational data. For instance, the Army has awarded contracts worth at least $11 million to deploy Ask Sage, a tool that lets users restrict which Army data Microsoft Azure OpenAI, Gemini and other AI models can access to run queries and tasks. Ask Sage also isolates Army data from user prompts and external data sources. Caspi, who is not an Army contractor, likened a prompt injection attack against an organization running Ask Sage to a lockdown situation where “you’ve got this insider, but it’s sitting in one room, and it can’t leave the room or carry out sensitive information.” Andre Slonopas, a Virginia Army National Guard member and former Army cyber and information operations officer, uses Ask Sage and voiced confidence in the Army’s defensive AI tools, if not those of nuclear power plants or manufacturing entities, largely in rural, poorer areas.

The Virginia National Guard joined with essential services, such as power utilities, to help defend their networks against AI-powered cyberattacks, as part of a September simulation, given that service disruptions can jeopardize military preparations. Typically, an adversary encrypts its network traffic to evade detection, but, for the sake of an experiment, organizers did not encrypt the AI offender’s traffic because “we wanted the blue team [of humans] to see exactly what the AI was doing,” Slonopas said. “The blue team was absolutely defeated,” despite being able to watch the AI scanning its networks, creating fake usernames to gain unauthorized access and executing instructions to defeat the team’s systems. “Whether the AI is doing prompt injection, spoofing or maybe even some sort of a brute force attack, the speed of AI is so unbelievably immense that simply human beings cannot counter it,” and, therefore, “you have to make cybersecurity AI more accessible and more affordable,” Slonopas said. “If a water utility has to pay, say, $30,000 for a defensive AI license, well, it will amplify one person to be like 40″ or dozens of personnel, he said. In response to questions, Army Cyber Command spokesperson Kyle Alvarez said in an emailed statement, “Due to the current lapse in appropriations, ARCYBER was unable to accept or respond to any media engagements or requests.”

Army contractors, too, are under attack from state-affiliated AI. “China is using offensive AI like nobody else,” said Nicolas Chaillan, the founder of Ask Sage and a former U.S. Air Force and Space Force chief software officer. “We see so many attacks coming after us,” all of which the company has stopped, Chaillan added. A military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the geopolitical sensitivity of the matter, said that China does “appear” to be the most skilled in offensive AI. However, the official added, AI spoofing and translation allow the United States, China, Iran, other countries, hacktivists and financial cybercriminals to masquerade as one another. For example, the official said, “Right now, with ChatGPT, I can program in Chinese. I don’t speak Chinese, but because of the ChatGPT capabilities that I have, I can do that.”

Hungary has entered negotiations with the United States to purchase the M142 HIMARS and accompanying munitions. The procurement, however, is expected to take between three and five years to complete due to the high global demand for the system. The country’s Defense Minister, Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky, confirmed that discussions have been held with representatives of the White House as part of Hungary’s 10-year military modernization program. While the Minister did not disclose the exact number of launchers or missiles Hungary intends to acquire, earlier reports from 2023 suggested a potential purchase of 20-24 HIMARS launchers and around 100 missiles valued at approximately $765 million. The overall project, however, is likely to be much larger, as it includes not only weapons and ammunition but also the development of new infrastructure and training of personnel. Hungarian journalists cited a possible total figure of 1.2 trillion forints (about $3.2 billion), though Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky declined to confirm this estimate. He emphasized that the final amount would be comprehensive and could only be determined after detailed consultations with the U.S. side. Even after the U.S. congressional approval, the Minister noted, the process would remain long and complicated.

The move would make Hungary another of Ukraine’s neighbors to operate the HIMARS systems, joining Poland and Romania. The decision aligns with broader regional trends in strengthening NATO’s eastern flank with advanced long-range precision strike capabilities. It also reflects the absence of a mass-produced European alternative, a gap that countries such as France are only beginning to address. At the same time, the potential acquisition carries a political dimension. Reports indicate that Hungary had previously explored purchasing the HIMARS in 2023, but the deal collapsed amid strained relations with Washington and Budapest’s refusal to support certain NATO decisions. Hungarian officials later tried to downplay the matter, suggesting no real intention to buy the system. Now, however, the situation has shifted. Hungary has revived discussions on the HIMARS procurement, possibly linked to its broader ambitions to obtain tactical ballistic missile systems. The timeline of three to five years mentioned by the Defense Minister appears realistic, especially considering that Estonia had to wait around three years for its deliveries and even began exploring the South Korean K239 Chunmoo system as an interim alternative. The HIMARS system, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, recently reached its 750th unit milestone. Its combat effectiveness, demonstrated in Ukraine, has only increased global interest. As production scales up, the United States continues to expand its munitions portfolio for the HIMARS, from smaller 120 mm rockets comparable to the BM-21 Grad system to advanced Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM).
