This story is not for republication. I bear responsibility for the things I write. I have read the guidelines and understand that I must not write anything untrue, and I won't.
This is a public interest story about a complete failure of governance and management at UCC.

offsite link Deliberate Design Flaw In ChatGPT-5 Sun Aug 17, 2025 08:04 | Mind Agent
Socratic Dialog Between ChatGPT-5 and Mind Agent Reveals Fatal and Deliberate 'Design by Construction' Flaw
This design flaw in ChatGPT-5's default epistemic mode subverts what the much touted ChatGPT-5 can do... so long as the flaw is not tickled, any usage should be fine---The epistemological question is: how would anyone in the public, includes you reading this (since no one is all knowing), in an unfamiliar domain know whether or not the flaw has been tickled when seeking information or understanding of a domain without prior knowledge of that domain???!

This analysis is a pretty unique and significant contribution to the space of empirical evaluation of LLMs that exist in AI public world... at least thus far, as far as I am aware! For what it's worth--as if anyone in the ChatGPT universe cares as they pile up on using the "PhD level scholar in your pocket".

According to GPT-5, and according to my tests, this flaw exists in all LLMs... What is revealing is the deduction GPT-5 made: Why ?design choice? starts looking like ?deliberate flaw?.

People are paying $200 a month to not just ChatGPT, but all major LLMs have similar Pro pricing! I bet they, like the normal user of free ChatGPT, stay in LLM's default mode where the flaw manifests itself. As it did in this evaluation.

offsite link AI Reach: Gemini Reasoning Question of God Sat Aug 02, 2025 20:00 | Mind Agent
Evaluating Semantic Reasoning Capability of AI Chatbot on Ontologically Deep Abstract (bias neutral) Thought
I have been evaluating AI Chatbot agents for their epistemic limits over the past two months, and have tested all major AI Agents, ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Perplexity, and DeepSeek, for their epistemic limits and their negative impact as information gate-keepers.... Today I decided to test for how AI could be the boon for humanity in other positive areas, such as in completely abstract realms, such as metaphysical thought. Meaning, I wanted to test the LLMs for Positives beyond what most researchers benchmark these for, or have expressed in the approx. 2500 Turing tests in Humanity?s Last Exam.. And I chose as my first candidate, Google DeepMind's Gemini as I had not evaluated it before on anything.

offsite link Israeli Human Rights Group B'Tselem finally Admits It is Genocide releasing Our Genocide report Fri Aug 01, 2025 23:54 | 1 of indy
We have all known it for over 2 years that it is a genocide in Gaza
Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has finally admitted what everyone else outside Israel has known for two years is that the Israeli state is carrying out a genocide in Gaza

Western governments like the USA are complicit in it as they have been supplying the huge bombs and missiles used by Israel and dropped on innocent civilians in Gaza. One phone call from the USA regime could have ended it at any point. However many other countries are complicity with their tacit approval and neighboring Arab countries have been pretty spinless too in their support

With the release of this report titled: Our Genocide -there is a good chance this will make it okay for more people within Israel itself to speak out and do something about it despite the fact that many there are actually in support of the Gaza

offsite link China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
This story is unverified but it is very instructive of what will happen when cash is removed
THIS STORY IS UNVERIFIED BUT PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT AS IT GIVES AN VERY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT A CASHLESS SOCIETY WILL LOOK LIKE. And it ain't pretty

A single video report has come out of China claiming China's biggest cities are now cashless, not by choice, but by force. The report goes on to claim ATMs have gone dark, vaults are being emptied. And overnight (July 20 into 21), the digital yuan is the only currency allowed.

Fo-dhlithe nua ag teacht salach ar íomhá spraoiúil na Gaillimhe

Tá déagóirí sásta 'dul go príosún' chun a gcearta clárscátála (skateboarding) ag Póirse Caoch na Gaillimhe a chosaint. Tá na cearta seo, chomh maith le cearta eile, i mbaol ó dhá fho-dhlí nua a bhéas á bplé ag Comhairle Chathrach na Gaillimhe an tseachtain seo chugainn.

Tá déagóirí ‘sásta dul go príosún’, má thagann sé chuige sin, chomh fada agus a bheidh siad in ann coinneáil orthu ag clárscátáil (skateboarding) ag an bPóirse Caoch i nGaillimh. Níl déagóirí na Póirse Caoiche leo féin: tá dhá fho-dhlí nua atá á mbeartú ag Comhairle Cathrach na Gaillimhe cáinte go géar ag eagraíochtaí pobail agus Páirtí an Lucht Oibre agus an Comhaontas Glas freisin.
Dar leo siúd atá i gcoinne na bhfodhlithe go bhféadfadh na fodhlithe nua íomhá saor, liobrálach na Gaillimhe a scrios.
I measc rudaí eile, cuirfidh an fo-dhlí um Pháirceanna agus Spásanna Oscailte atá á bheartú ag Comhairle Cathrach na Gaillimhe cosc ar dhaoine clárscátáil (skateboarding), scátáil (rollerblading) nó dul ag snámh, ach amháin in áiteanna a bhfuil cead tugtha go sonrach dul i mbun na gcaitheamh aimsire seo. Mar a tharlaíonn sé, níl liosta d’áiteanna ina mbeidh cead dul i mbun na gcaitheamh aimsire seo curtha ar fáil fós.
Ní amháin sin, ach faoin fho-dhlí nua, caithfear cead Comhairle Cathrach na Gaillimhe a lorg má tá os cionn 100 duine le cruinniú in aon áit amháin, rud, dar leo siúd atá ag cur i gcoinne na bhfo-dhlithe nua, a sháraíonn cearta daonna, agus Bunreacht na hÉireann féin.
Faoin fho-dhlí eile atá dréachtaithe ag an Chomhairle Chathrach ní bheidh cead aon bhileoga bolscaireachta a scaipeadh sa chathair, rud a chuirfidh srian le saoirse chainte agus chumarsáide eagraíochtaí pobail agus eagraíochtaí polaitiúla, dar leo siúd atá i gcoinne na bhfo-dhlithe.
“I dtús báire, ceapaim go bhfuil sé fíorchontúirteach coir a dhéanamh as caitheamh aimsire,” a dúirt an Comhairleoir Cathrach Catherine Connolly (Lucht Oibre). “Ach tá an riail a deir go gcaithfidh tú cead na Comhairle Cathrach a lorg má tá cruinniú d’os cionn 100 duine a bheith ann ag teacht salach ar chearta daonna agus ar Bhunreacht na hÉireann féin,” a dúirt an Comhairleoir Connolly.
“Bím ag scátáil ar an Prom mé féin,” a deir Connolly, “agus dá ndéanfainn sin tar éis don fhodhlí nua dul i bhfeidhm bheinn ag briseadh an dlí!”
Tá John Deely, úinéir an tsiopa clárscátála ‘Gravity’ ar an tSráid Thrasna, agus urlabhraí ar son an lucht clárscátála ag an bPóirse Caoch, fíormhíshásta le pleananna na Comhairle Cathrach freisin.
“Ceapaim go bhfuil na fodhlithe nua náireach amach is amach. Ceapaim go bhfuil sé dochreidte go bhfuil an Chomhairle ag iarraidh cosc a chur ar chaitheamh aimsire sláintiúil a chuireann le haclaíocht pháistí,” a deir John Deely le Foinse.
“Tá déagóirí de naoi nó deich mbliana d’aois ag rá liomsa go bhfuil siad sásta dul go príosún mar gheall ar bheith ag clárscátáil ag an bPóirse Caoch,” a deir Deely.
Ach dar leis an Chomhairle Chathrach nach bhfuil sé i gceist acu srian a chur le saoirse chainte aon duine ná cosc a chur ar spórt agus caitheamh aimsire, ach go bhfuil sé i gceist acu rud éigin a dhéanamh faoin fhadhb bhrúscair a tharraing drochchlú ar chathair na Gaillimhe níos luaithe sa bhliain.
“Dréachtanna atá sna fo-dhlithe nua seo go fóill; níl siad ina ndlí fós,” a deir Breandán Ó hEaghra, urlabhraí ar son Comhairle Chathrach na Gaillimhe. “Sula mbeidh siad ina ndlí, beidh ar na Comhairleoirí, atá tofa ag an bpobal, iad a scrúdú agus cinneadh a dhéanamh mar gheall orthu. Ach is cinnte nach bhfuil sé i gceist ag Comhairle Chathrach na Gaillimhe saoirse chainte aon duine a theorannú ná cosc a chur ar chaitheamh aimsire aclaíoch. Is éard atá i gceist ag na daoine a dhréachtaigh na fo-dhlithe seo ná rud éigin a dhéanamh faoin bhfadhb bhrúscair i nGaillimh,” a mhíníonn Ó hEaghra.
I dtaobh na gclárscátálaithe ag an bPóirse Caoch, deir Breandán Ó hEaghra ó Chomhairle Chathrach na Gaillimhe go bhfuil áiseanna clárscátála curtha ar fáil cheana féin ag an Chomhairle Chathrach i bPáirc Mhílaoise na bPáistí, trasna ón Ardeaglais, agus go bhfuil sé i gceist ag an Chomhairle tuilleadh de na háiseanna seo a chur ar fáil amach anseo.
“I súile na Comhairle tá an áit atá roghnaithe ag na clárscátálaithe ag an bPóirse Caoch an-chontúirteach. Níl ann ach go bhfuil muid ag cuartú athrú ionaid dóibh,” a mhíníonn Ó hEaghra.

Dia Dhuit Alex! Labhair mé leat cúpla bliain ó shin faoi cruinniu frith ciníochas sa chathar. (Tá mé ag ceapadh go raibh Catherine Connolly aige sin chomh maith.)


Beidh cruinniu ag Comhairle Cathrach na Gaillimhe ar an Luain agus tá agóid (síochánta) le beith taobh amuigh de halla na cathrach ar a 4 a chlog iar-nóin ar feadh cúpla uair a chloig. (Beidh an líon is mó daoine ann idir a sé agus a seacht déarfainn.)

Slán go fóill,
Orla

Caithfidh mé a adhmháil go gcuireann na dlíthe seo imní orm freisin, go háirithe an fo-dhlí ag cur cosc ar chruinniú ós comhair 100 duine. Ni Éireann í seo, ní Gaillimh ná Iarthar na hÉireann í.

Go soirbhí Dia sibh.

In case you haven't gotten the point, this is Indymedia ***Ireland***, and people have the right to speak the nationally recognized language, Irish! Or are you also a anglo-saxonist who would like to see Irish eradicated from the earth because it's "too hard and no one speaks it anyway"?!?!?

Slán go fóill
