UCC has paid huge sums to a criminal professor

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.

M20 : Time to prepare for the next massive demonstration

category international | anti-war / imperialism | press release author Sunday February 15, 2004 05:42author by AmigaPhilauthor email AmigaPhil at ping dot be Report this post to the editors

Time to prepare for the next international demo:
March 20, 2004 - The World STILL Says No to War !

20 March 2004 - Global Day of Action - SAVE THE DATE !
The world will once again claim its opposition to war



If you think that it's too late, the war is over, all is
done and we can't do anything about that, please consider
this:
The USA planned wars against Afghanistan and Iraq has taken,
so far, the life of at least 11,000 civilians. That is
about 4 times as much as the victims of the September 11th
war attacks which were immediately condemned by the
international community. The number of victims we caused is
still growing up, as people (mostly children) continue to
die due to the weapons of mass destruction we use like
cluster bombs and napalm-like bombs (MK 77), depleted
uranium munitions, ...
Saddam Hussein is undoubtely a criminal who has to reply of
his acts in front of an International Criminal Court. That
does not give us any legitimacy to crush a country and grab
its resources. Today, many regions in Iraq are still
deprivated of water and electricity. Iraqis have to queue
to get some fuel while we have restored and secured the
pipelines which allow us to export "our" oil.
Now think a moment: CAN WE DO ELSEWHERE SUCH THINGS WE
WOULD NOT TOLERATE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY ?

March 20, 2004 is also a unique opportunity to remind our
governments that democracy is not just about allowing
people to vote once in every few years. Actually, we are
getting far away from the model Abraham Lincoln promised:
"A governement of the people, by the people, for the people"
Citizens are concerned by the politic questions even outside
the elections time. A responsible governement should not
try to keep us away from the administration of our country.
A respectful governement has more consideration for its
citizens than just regarding them as "money makers".
We, the people, can't accept being told Fairy Tales and lies
by those we have elected to represent our interests.
We can't stand by a government which use noble value such
as "freedom", "democracy", "justice" to cover his wrong
doing. We can't support a governement as a model for the
world if it bypass/violate Constitutions, national and
international laws, Treaties and Conventions.
We want "PEOPLE" to be placed back to a position it should
never leave: OVER "PROFIT" !

For all those reasons, we will protest together one more
time. ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE, WE ARE WORKING ON IT !

defending peace, justice, and true democracy.
