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

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.

hundreds protest as Bush attends fundraiser for Arlen 'magic bullet theory' Spector.
Cops beat and arrest six protestors for not staying in 'designated protest area'.

Arlen Spector is worth googling by the way... see JFK and the magic bullet, Gulf War syndrome coverup etc.

Pittsburgh indymedia has report and pics on Bush protest there, you can see the cops swinging extendable batons.

a local shopowner conducted a small survey of his customers, and 80% are opposed to his visit to Ireland. not exactly a MORI poll, but worth a look. check out the link

In all of Pennsylvania, they could only manage 200 protestors?????????

There were almost 700 republicans to greet Senator Kerry in New Hampshire last week, all waving flip flops.....

I'll wager PA's 21 electoral votes go to the President in November.

4 MORE YEARS!!!!

4 more years of Bush??? Great, the world hates him. Kerry would have far more cred. and thus make it more difficult to mobilise people against the American state.

Let me first state the need FOR AWARENESS relating to Peace Worldwide - this is vital

Oliver Goldsmith 1728-1792
'On the stage he was natural, simple, affecting. Twas only when he was off he was acting'.......................(Retaliation)

We behold a 'Bipolar' situation. It relates to Peace in Iraq; the Peace Process and also Rights for People with Disabilities................Ireland.

These apply to the Island directly and need attention. The time has come to leave aside the roles of actors and actresses and put heads to the grindstone and effect peace.

Dromoland; President of Ireland; President Bush; Taoiseach B. Ahern etc. etc. What about the will of the Irish people for constructive action? Bureaucracy abounds at all levels.

We await a decision about a second period in office by President Mary McAleese. We recently have watched a detailed programme about the President's family life with interludes into work regimen. I ask is it appropriate for such high profile media coverage while such carnage is reeked in Iraq with many innocent people being left without basic human rights.

I also ask about our own Irish Peace Process. I ask about the recent findings relating to para-military activity. I ask how a programme relating to President McAleese incorporate's her husband's meetings with UVF members (!!!!!!) as shown on that programme are interpreted by the people of the Island of Ireland.

My Grandfather a Judge, used these words that have provided a safeguard for me in periods of bipolar mood disorder and the words are few and simple 'Beware of the vested interest". Inference left up to reader.

I ask people to consider this quote by Kate Millett - The Politics of Cruelty

'The French, who have word for this kind of writing, call it temoinage, the literature of the witness; the one who has been there, seen it, knows. It crosses genres, can be autobiography; reportage; even narrative fiction.

But its basis is factual, fact passionately lived and put into writing by a moral imperative rooted like a flower amid carnage with an imperishable optimism, A HOPE THAT THOSE WHO WILL HEAR WILL CARE, WILL EVEN TAKE ACTION.

PLEASE ASK OUR ACTORS TO MOVE OFF THE STAGE AND EMBRACE THE LITERATURE; PEOPLE AND MEDIA COVERAGE THAT CONVEYS A REALITY........


MICHELLE Thanks to those who care for others and whom one meets at the Anti-War Protests
