UCC has paid huge sums to a criminal professor

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

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.

Na Fianna Éireann say "Reject the RUC/PSNI!.

Reject ALL British police forces in Ireland!

.

Recently we have seen advertisements in the 26 counties on TV for people to join the RUC/PSNI. It is trying to deceive people into joining a new reformed British police force in Ireland.

To counteract this, Na Fianna Éireann will be distributing thousands of leaflets informing them not to join this new British police force under any pretence. It is there as a sectarian force, there to sustain and vindicate British rule in Ireland. It must be opposed at all costs.

Again we would ask people if they wish to distribute these in their areas or help out in the campaign, we would be happy to have as much help as possible.

You can contact us directly at the email address below:

What's Na Fianna Eireann's position on them?

I'm not an advocate for the PSNI or any police force for that matter, but these death threats are plainly WRONG.

The death threats are by micro groups, nobody likes the PSNI, and the death threats should really be directed at PSNI members.

Many catholic members of the DPP's are realising what a useless pointless quango they're sitting on, and are using the excuse of death threats to get off the DPP board.

Disband these thugs in uniform and send them on their way.

I cannot speak for Na Fianna. I personally am of the view that all collaborators with the British police force is a legitimate target. Members of these boards are serving an illegal sectarian police force in Ireland, and know the risks involved. Their religion does not come into it.

50% Catholic
50% Protestant
100% British

So its OK to target any person irrespective of religion or social standing, beliefs anything like that for joining the PSNI. They are all legitimate targets, well I am sorry but I believe Na Fianna and any fucking moron on this site who believes that is a legitimate target for a shot to the face. You are the ones who are assisting in the standing in the way of us maybe getting peace on this island. You and the Loyalists are as bad as each other, you believe that if a person goes and gets a job with someone you disagree with you have the right to kill em. Thats fucking Childish, hell why don't you just start shooting people who earn more than you or people who have bigger dicks than you. Where does it end. A persons job is just that, A JOB, it does not mean that the person is inherently evil or morally wrong. You claim you are for the people of this country, well would you mind releasing some info on your supporters, coz Ill tell you this now I know absolutely NO-ONE on this Island who shares your views. Go rot in Jail with you bastard leader Mc Kevitt. By your rationale, anyone who does not believe as I believe is a legitimate target to me and therefore I can just start killing people and, well my organisers believe I am right. Let me remind you we stopped being fucking idiots along time ago and are trying, no matter how slowly and for whatever reasons, to maybe sort our shit out up the north and try to get some sort of an Island together. Legitimate Targets, grow up or blow up. I don't care if you guys are so dedicated to your premise why don't you go and become Suicide Bombers or are younot that brave. Do you not believe in the cause enough to warrant your own deaths. Come on guys start blowing yourselves up, but try to do it in such a way that you don't interfere with our everyday lives while you are at it.

And just so you know I don't like the RUC that much, I haven't made my mind up fully on their disbanding, but jesus christ I certainly don't think that I have the right to tell another person from my area where they can and cannot work.

Since Na Fianna Eireann have exposed themselves as human rights abusers, I don't feel they have any place on indymedia. There's nothing progressive about these tactics, nor are they going to achieve anything except encourage sympathy for the PSNI.

The website will be out shortly. We have a new paper coming out and we've decided to release then both at the same time. Websites take time.

Drbinoche, you completely misunderstood what I said and from your childish reply, I don't feel the urge to reply with some intelligence.

Simply put, if there is an illegal occupation of a country, that will be upheld with force, then we have a right to use force to get rid of that illegal occupation. The Americans are finding that out the hard way as we speak...;-)

Many people on this I'm sure would support the Iraqi military fight against the illegal occupation in their country. They have a right to fight force with force, as do Irishmen/women.

If you feel we have no right to have an opinion on this, then I feel you might have some fascist inclinations. Free speech for all.

Or perhaps they have been infiltrated by MI5, who knows? It's one possible explanation for their totally counterproductive behaviour.

At any rate, their actions against police board members allow the Brits to justify repressive measures against "dissidents". Can't have juries when trying dissidents, your honour, sure they'll intimidate them just like they intimidated the police board members! Repression breeds repression in a vicous circle

And so on, and on and on.

- Comparing the suffering which the Iraqis are enduring with the situation in the North only insults and belittles the suffering Iraqi populace. You don't see any B52s over Belfast, do you? Any tanks driving through downtown Belfast? Water, food shortages? Nope.

Ah yes, if you don't agree with Na Fianna, obviously you must be a fascist. Clearly we live in a deeply fascist country then, seeing as nobody agrees with them.

If you feel otherwise, why not call a mass demo to show support for your policies? Because you know it would flop, that's why.

You demand free speech. What about the right to life, obviously that means little to you?

Tiocfaidh Armani - Na Fianna Eireann. I must say what a fantastic way to totally dodge the bullet. How did I misunderstand what you said. You said that "I personally am of the view that all collaborators with the British police force is a legitimate target" so how did I misunderstand that. To me that seems as Black and White as you get. I must also point out, where are you willing to draw the line with regards to the above statement. Please define Collaboration. Are Bus drivers collaborating?? Are office cleaners collaborating?? What about anyone who nods or says Hi to a PSNI officer on the street, is that classed as Collaboration to you?? And would it not mean to you that that person or persons are legitimate targets??

I agree with the posters, please do not say that the Northern Irish people are having it as bad as the people in Afghanistan and Iraq, don't be that stupid. How many Northern Irish people were shot this morning at checkpoints?? In fact how many Northern Irish people had to undergo checkpoints in order to get to work or even cross the city today?

I ask again, please provide some photographic evidence of you guys having a following in this country. I have yet to see one placard or march or anything by your group. I know absolutely no-one who shares your views and I have quite an eclectic group of people whom I believe cover most of the important views.

The cries of Fascism and childishness as a way of dodging any necessary respones, or maybe you don't have an argument?? Maybe you are copying and pasting most of this or hearing it from someone else and claiming it as your own and so cannot fight back with an argument until that someone posts a reply or gives you more 'original thought'!

And OK, lets play devils advocate for a moment. Suppose the Brits packed up tomorrow and left Northern Ireland and everyone was fine with it and everyone had no problems. Who would you have instilled as a police force?? Where would you recruit em from?? Where would their loyalties lie?? Woould you ask for the withdrawal of all of the Loyalists?? Where are you willing to take this absolutely out-dated and idiotic crusade??

Once you start dealing in the politics of death you're on the slippery slope
to a world of murder, war, hate, revenge, disappeared bodies etc etc ad
nauseam.
Do we want another 30 years of violence and hate for our children and theirs
in Northern Ireland or elsewhere?
The Peace Process is not perfect but if you want to change it for the better
or what you think is better why not go the non-violent way?
The Civil Rights movement achieved more in NI in six months than the ensuing
violence did in 30 years. And it left no graves, no disabled, no permanent
scars of personal hatred or lust for blood in its wake.
Think about it: No-one is a legitimate target for your opinions. I agree
with Drbinoche inasmuch as he or she opposes your belief in a divine right
to kill those whom you disagree with, but I disagree with the notion that
you Fianna Éireann, are legitimate targets.
No-one is a legitimate target.
I also am opposed to suicide bombings.

I cannot speak on behalf of Na Fianna Eireann.My personal view is that all killing is wrong and that TRUE peace should be brought to this Island.The GFA will not achieve this.Do you really believe that the provisionals are decommissioning weapons?Their constitution forbids it and there has been no convention to change that part of the constitution.Do you believe that having them as police will decrease instances of human rights abuses?
There is another way-Eire Nua,read up on it,It is Sinn Fein Poblachtanas' aim to create an Eire Nua.
With regards to the comments on 'legitimate targets' I must say that the killing of any one living creature is a tragedy.Untold grief is endured every day across the world because of murder and conflict,no one of us who is sane and good can deny that.The killings of civilians who accept posts in an illegal government institution are intended to bring down those institutions by scaring people away from the positions.If nobody accepts the positions then the institution cannot function.It is regrettable that these killings happen at all but they are seen by many as the only way to crumble an illegal governing body.
To put it bluntly,these people should realise this and dismiss the thought of joining such a body.No job is worth your life.
I am unrepentant in this view.

I cannot speak for Na Fianna Eireann.There may well be individuals prepared to carry out attacks such as those in the Middle East.However the manpower resources these Middle Eastern groups have are near inexhaustable,The situation here is diffrent and sending out suicide bombers would leave you with empty ranks.
Please remember it takes a lot more determination and courage to starve yourself for up to 66 days until death for the cause of national liberation.
