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.

Less of this sort of Thing.

A short reflection on the paranoid status of the Irish Government as they prepare for the Sloppy Big Hug of Post May Day European Citizenship of 450,000,000 people, set against the backdrop of the War on Terror and "the Great Satan".

eh Hello there!

What's wrong?

I'm logged unto Aras An hUachtarán,

I'm not going anywhere.

Now I'll just join the free update lists at those accounts, and go look at the eu2004 bertie techboys site.

Mr Blair is Angry.

Q. why is the Prime Minister of the UK angry?
A. oh it could be his job, or his vitamin pills,
or it could be the glaringly obvious evidence of all the ingredients of Tyranny, Camp X, Genocide, and Organised Crime in the internationally unrecognised State of Iraq which is presently occupied by the USA.

I'm not going anywhere.

Only 500,000,000 barrels of Oil on this Planet.

Their a precious resource as we await any sign of being given "sustainable development" from the planetary leadership.

There is no perceivable Threat to this Summit, and if there is one, it is because Ireland has so closely associated herself with the current US adminstration and it's highly suspect behaviour in relation to those 500,000,000 barrels of Oil on what is cutely referred to as "our planet".

Mr Nusseibeh - president of al-Quds University - was released without charge after five hours in custody on bail of 5,000 shekels ($1,100).
He was arrested with four Palestinian workers at the campus who police said did not have the proper permit.
Mr Nusseibeh is a prominent campaigner currently working on a peace plan.
$1,100 doesn't equal 1,100€
for some reason not of their making

Captain Ziad Khalas of the Iraqi security forces identified the proposed commander of Falluja Killing Fields as the US Marines are now pulling our as Major General Jassim Mohammed Saleh, a veteran of Saddam's republican guard.

"He had Rape Rooms"
George Bush not be confused with George Bush.

You will notice that in the list of cards of most wanted Terrorists of the "they had rape rooms" unacceptable Regime of Iraq dropped on us from a height by
Bush Sons & Ltd Co.
there weren't actually 52.
"not playing on a full deck of cards"
would be an appropriate expression.

In the most wanted Terrorist playing cards issued on Andorra Indymedia there were some missing as well.

I wonder was Major General Jassim Mohammed Saleh, a veteran of Saddam's republican guard, on the card list, hmmmm
maybe
Europe could make a useful sloppy big hugs hundred thousand and four hundred and forty nine thousand [pop up message window on my screen] {you get the same screen as I do?} "you have just been linked to the US Atomic Clock for accurate time keeping"

Bertie, do you and the FF/FG/PDs Ltd Co. get the old tonic / fatigue jabs/pills on the VHI?

Well BUPA aren't giving them 23 million€ so they might just go bankrupt. You could always get a Health Board Doctor instead.

Now might be the time to like change history and the last years of your regime, turn back the clock, undo the past, achieve the impossible, oh-oh
You can't.
That's right, all's done that all's done.
And all's undone that is all undone.

"Hi There!" is copyrighted by the grrrreat
George Bernard Shaw. You may use the phrase "Hi There!" but do be aware he ought be credited as the original author of the versatile work which combines rthymic candence with hopeful vigour and brevity.
Mr Dr Bod Bernard Shaw lived to be very old and was on neither BUPA nor VHI and used the phrase "Hi There!" first during his famous and inspiring moving picture reel message.

andnot a mention of the Global Reclaim May Day thing @ all. You'd think from the tone of it, that the 450,000,000 new citizens of Europe (that figure is getting everywhere isn't it, very versatile combines numeric precision with a deft syllabic cadence) were all over paid, over indulged, listened to crap music, and got driven around in limousines, and looked forward to regular fatigue pills/jabs.

Well they're not.
They are really people you don't know that much about. And they all would love a solid brave couragous pan European (without Burluscunt naturally) declaration or argument about a declaration (with Burluscunt naturally) condemning our fellow SuperPower "oh we're not a superstate honest!"

S (pronounced as in the first letter of Snake)
A (pronounced like Asshole, Antichrist, and the two "eh"s in SATAN.

The religious ones would love it Bertie!
Oh you'd have candles lit for you, and voters waving to you from the aisles.
The children of the Commies would love it too! They'd been wetting themselves, all those SERIOUS misgivings they have about being "absorbed"/"bullied"/"bldugeoned"/"tricked" into the

So ye 2 and Romani Prodi,

I didn't mention either the Saudi or the Roosevelts once.

My left hand is that of an organist of the European Temple Tradition as we all know, and also the one I normally write and shoot my bow with.

My Left Hand is now damaged as a result of a police attack on protesters after an identified infiltrator joined the group in a narrow street and proceeded to throw objects at the Policia Nacional.
I stood between both protesters and police in the internationally recognised and normal way and attempted mediation.

There are still people in the cordoned area of barcelona behind Policia Nacional Lines in a building we shall call them "hostages". For that is popularly what they are felt to be.
Tension amonst the rightwing elements of barcelonan society has been stoked by reports this morning of a prison riot last night. There is no escape from a prison riot, and there is a lot less indymedia and interested parties looking on.
Bertie, the EU 25 states got relogated to past page 14 in the rightwing press. They might be excited because President Zapatero is in Dublin and thing while the ZP is away the pigs can play.

-Might I stress they are not boar.

I can not vouch for the safety of the hostages, and many people with softer heads than I have been hospitalised,
[ I got two wallops of medium strength 40º from end curve of arm extension so no weight carries from a hyperventilating policeman whose eyes locked with mine just long enough for me to "I assure you" recall his smell at a distance of -"classified"]


The area is surrounded by ordinary residents, many of them old, many with children, almost all immigrants.

The theme of todays MayDay
this years Forum Year 2004
being the demand of immigrants for papers.
To which end all the employer and residence associations came out and joined us awalking. And at nightfall they went home, and the youngsters occupied the square in front of the GPO dancing to drums.

In the spirit of the celts whom I represent, i left an umbrella which I chanced upon perched at the lantern above the door to the BCN G.P.O. with a green cross and of course a white X for like your little friends.

I will of course write more.
but with my right hand.
with my left i will be knitting
bones and tissue
with almost filagree precision
according to an ancient and august art.

Oh But we are not all your little friends.

Now some still remember the last time I was accosted by an under trained and over excited policemen who did not respond to international mediation signals or heavy and obviously professional media witness.

And they will go on remembering it till the synapsis snap.

Tonights little dabacle,
mirrors equally orchestrated violence all over the continent as police tired of following around people for a whole shift, decide to end it with a few whallops.

Now I had thought to have gone through this during MayDay RTS in Dublin.

Over excited and aggressive police men don't win either Community Chest or Chance Cards with older than he appears Mr O' as if or his pals.
Oh no.
It gets gone over again and again.
It ends up in newspaper, official report, TV news, and public witness. It stokes resentment and social division. It serves the image and funding of the Police forces no good at all.

It ends in Heavy Weight Political and Judicial Costs and Diplomatic Sour Plums.
But of course the Policia Nacional de España are unique-ish in that they don't get punished.

¿do they?

Now I'm going to drink Whisky, smoke some spliffs, take a draught of very special honey type substance I am privelaged to keep, and go keep all my little eyes on my (comrades/brothers and sisters of faith) who are behind that line. Because if they're there, then they are either Comrades or Brothers or Sisters in Faith, the traditional Spanish/South American type if you're wondering.
The _roman_ one, just like the noblemen.

Nice and Simple.
They could be both.
comrades and so and on.

-now we remember the "geilt" don't we?

=I have just accomplished the resonance of the GPO.
with a surreal umbrella.
no civil war in that Bertie or Michael.

woof woof woof.

Many people noticed our long walk around town,
"for our mammies of South America who are we assure you right now and tomorrow and next week facing much worse that any of us, as they try and do the unavoidable Stop This System so the leaders will do their best to reform it, becuase it is an emergency situation globally, and you're not going to see it all on TV at least this year".

"for our mammies caravans"

And many perceptive people noticed that we were accompanied at all times by a small flock of birds, several seagulls and a lot of pigeons of unusal mottle colour.
It is now dark, and the time of other wingèd creatures, such as the mosquito, fly, bat and others whose names are no longer in the bestiary.

I have made myself clear,
haven't I?
good.
