offsite link Fraud and mismanagement at University College Cork Thu Aug 28, 2025 18:30 | Calli Morganite
UCC has paid huge sums to a criminal professor
This story is not for republication. I bear responsibility for the things I write. I have read the guidelines and understand that I must not write anything untrue, and I won't.
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.

It's not CO2 that drives the climate, says astrophysicist Dr Henrik Svensmark. Its the Sun and cosmic rays. But you won't hear about this because only one viewpoint is now allowed in the pseudo-science of climate.

G8 experience-a linked photo essay of the 10 days

category international | anti-capitalism | opinion/analysis author Monday July 11, 2005 21:53author by Cormac - Many--But Irish Barrio for the last 10 days Report this post to the editors

This is a compilation of links to many Indymedias,Anarkismo,resistance sites as well as corporate newspaper and T.V channel sites.
My experience at the G8 was liberating as well as intense,relaxing as well as stressful,empowering as well as frightening at times and most of all engendered in me the true meaning of solidarity as thousands upon thousands of activists poured in to resist the 8-man team who think they can destroy OUR world.
Thanks to all in the Iirsh Barrio,the Stirling Eco-Camp and the Scottish people for an unforgettable and educational 10 days.
Solidarity and thoughts to all those arrested trying to stop the gathering of murderers like Bush and Blair in the Highlands of Scotland.

STOP THE CRIMINALISATION OF DISSENT!

THURSDAY 7/7

*How many in the Striling Camp felt when we heard about the London Bomb,Thursday 7th July.
The camp had been surronded by police in many different forms oearly Thursday morning from about 2.30.They had arrived with roughly 20 vanloads and 10 cars and had parked at the roundabout at the front of the camp.
Brief panic was soon quelled once information regarding the fact that they appeared not to have advanced from their disembarking position at the roundabout soon spread tjrough the emotion-filled camp and people went to sleep ( mostly) and awaited what the next morn would bring...*

CORPORATE MEDIA,BONO AND GELDOF WILL SAVE THE DAY!



Geldof knows what its like to be an unarmed protester when heavily armed and ppissed off policeman decide they are going to stop your march and bash you instead.....

-----------------

Hers a great one!Channel nine news report on G8 clashes between heavily armed protesters with bins and trollies and defenceless riot police,first 45 seconds are interesting and contain some good front line footage,,then the stars arrive to save the day and Bono does his thing....yawn.
You have to watch a 35 second advertisement before the footage begins-no channel nine arent yet a part of the Indymedia network!
My advice is switch off after a minute or two depending how much rubbish you can swallow...

I've just added a complition of links to the 8 or so activist videos that are now online ot Anarkismo.net. The URL is below but eds feel free to lift the HTML of the links if needed

Pretty good videos - if you have the bandwidth well worth viewing and comparing it with the TV coverage

A good collection of G8 videos and corporate press reports...check em out...some arent as bad as you'd expect!
Mass media seem to agree we got the jump on the police on the early morning blockade action in Striling on the 6th,the vids from the 6th and 4th are most relevant to the Iirsh contingent......but check out especially the vid from the 16th of June,Starhawk trained many of us at the camp in direct action techniques...legend!
Apparently,not all the Scottish folk were completely petrified of the evil anarchists..according to one local interviewee,he was petrified of the police tactics!Hurray,some objectivity beckons..
vive la resistance!
