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.

Greg Palast the investigative reporter and author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, carried this story for the BBC television show Newsnight and The Guardian newspaper in the UK back in 2000 and goes as far as to have in his possession two computer discs contains the 97,000 names of mostly Democrat-voting African-Americans which were illegally removed by the office of the Secretary of State of Florida from the Florida electoral roll. The list was so faulty that Mr. Palast even interviewed an conviction-free electoral returning officer whose name was purged from the electoral roll.

Palast will also be revealing the details he has uncovered regarding precisely how Governor Jeb Bush [Bush The Younger’s brother] managed to swing Florida for the NeoCons when he appears as a panellist on a joint Minority Outreach Forum sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus and Senator Hillary Clinton. read full story / add a comment

The American racist organisaton the Ku Klux Klan has sent its congratulations to the people of Ireland in the wake of the "yes" vote in the citizenship referendum.


The klan`s "Imperial Wizard" - the head of the organisation - Ray Larsen spoke to Dubliner magazine, and has written to Ireland`s Justice Minister Michael McDowell in praise of his work.

The KKK says it is "excited" by the Irish move to restrict citizenship, as it says, "according to blood-lines rather than birthplace".

The klan has said it has no problem with white immigrants. read full story / add a comment

An Israeli Civil Rights group has made a petiton to the Supreme Court and on 11 July the case was heard. There was the equivalent of a reserved judgement, so we await the outcome. read full story / add a comment

" I will tell you something about stories", he said
"They just aren't entertainment
Don't be fooled
They are all we have, you see,
all we have to fight off illness and death.
You don't have anything
if you don't have stories
Their evil is mighty
but it can't stand up to our stories,
So they try to destroy the stories
let the stories be confused or forgotten,
They would like that
They would be happy
Because we would be defenseless then....."
