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.

DISBAND GARDAI

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Saturday May 11, 2002 14:40author by Ali La Pointe - fun lovin sexy bad assed freedom fighters Report this post to the editors

Quite a simple demand really

Faking "confessions", no automatic right to solicitors in interviews, no taping of interviews, brutalising peaceful demonstrators, falsly arresting, racially abusing and assaulting people of colour and then framing them with assault charges, harrassing travellers, no acceptable complaints mechanism... the list goes on. They sound.. well, like the RUC in the good old days.. Can someone make the Tshirt/ paint the signs?. I don't have the wherewithall

Yeah we already have All Ireland policing standards, the R.U.C. in Belfast, the Gaurds in Dublin and Martin Ferris in Kerry.

Sorry for the slip up above

Disband the Gardai. Wow great idea and what do you propose we replace them with. Bet u didn't think this one out.

I know we will bring back the black and tans or no the B Specials. the ACA well why we are at it why don't we just go the whole way and have the Army police the streets. It will save on the medical bill they could just shoot us?

What a stupid idea.

Police may have there faults but they are needed.

"the police may have their faults, but then they are needed" you have such vision, comrade Jim. Sure you could say the same about cars and bosses but aren't we making demands against them? Or maybe I am wrong and all it would take is for nice people to fill these posts for them to be Ok, how about it Garda Jim?

Yeah luke, disband the RUC, the Gards, the Provos, the Irps, the loyalists, even the Stickies, all cops and punishment squads, self appointed or otherwise.

The fact is that cops protect the rich and their property, they maintain law and order for ordinary citizens only when it suits and only insofar as it provides the kind of stability capital needs in order to tick over. Ultimately they are anti-working class, the front line for capital, not just brutalising people on demos, picket lines etc. But anyone from any working class part of the country will tell you about their instinctive anti-working class bias which comes out whenever they get a chance, whenever no one's looking, or no one deemed to be a credible witness is looking.

It's perfectly reasonable to demand their disbandment, it's not as if I expect it to happen overnight. It's the kind of demand that makes them behave.

When some one kicks your ass or robs you or assaults a friend or love etc, and you go cryin to the cops make sure you say that you Idiot.

Reform the Gardai is more a realistic goal.

I wanr the Gardai and I'm working class. They protect me, With out the cops there would be disorder the vast majorty want order. They want the train to run on time, they want to be able to go to the doctor, they want money to spend in the pub/shop what ever. They don't want to live in a country where you have to carry a side arm. drive around in a bulletproof car.

I don't want to have too dodge bullets just to get the school.

Take 30 sec and think what the world would be like with out law and order.......................
... Hell on Earth that what it would be.
