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.

Lost souls revisit the Narrative Arts Club

category dublin | arts and media | event notice author Thursday October 02, 2008 19:31author by The Oh-Aissieux - Narrative Arts Clubauthor email narrativearts at gmail dot com Report this post to the editors

An evening of storytelling on the themes of witchcraft, death and gore

Lost Souls Walk Again
An evening of storytelling on the themes of witchcraft, death and gore

In the Library Bar Extension, Central Hotel,
Exchequer Street (just off South Great George's Street), Dublin 2

On Thursday 30 October. Show starts 8 pm sharp. Doors open 7.30.

To commemorate the Night of the Dead,
when the windows between this world and the next are torn off their hinges
and all kinds of malicious spirits wander the earth in search of mortal prey,
and the victims they seek awaken in the chilly sweat of fear
and cling desperately to their Rosary beads, their Korans, their stethoscopes
or whatever other talismans they can lay their trembling hands on,
and feverishly mutter whatever prayers and incantations to protect them ...

The world's FIRST,
the world's BEST,
the world's ONLY Narrative Arts Club
proudly presents:

Lost Souls Walk Again - an evening of storytelling on the themes of witchcraft, death and gore

Including:
The shaman's shadow
Miss Crozier's revenge
The lonely vampire maid

Note: This show is not suitable for young children. In fact, it may not be suitable for nervous or prudish adults either.

We invite you to forget what storytelling was, and find out what it might be. This is eye-contact theatre for the noughties: innovative urban storytelling for the 21st century.

"This is something modern, perplexing and thoroughly engaging, which knows no boundaries and succumbs to few taboos." - Chad Buterbaugh

As it is likely that this show will be sold out a couple of days in advance,
you are advised to BOOK seats to avoid disappointment.
To book, please text names to The Oh-Aissieux at 086 060 38 18.

The evening's show went as follows:
Rane in the forest
Land of the dead
Ebola ball - by Adam Wilson
Mr Silver and Miss Crozier
Interval
Goodbye to Miss Crozier
The shaman's shadow
The Congolese talisman - by Adam Wilson
The lonely chatelaine

The highlight of the evening was Adam Wilson's presentation of his two chilling new works of narrative art:
1. Ebola ball
A young Irish engineer, working in Nigeria, meets a wealthy businessman, Prince Prospero, who invites him to a very elaborate fancy-dress party. Prospero is furious to see that somebody has defied his order that nobody should dress as a victim of ebola.
2. The Congolese talisman
When the young engineer gives his parents a macabre souvenir from central Africa: the mummified hand of a chimpanzee or orangutan, his father sneers at the idea that the gruesome gift has the power to fulfil their desires.

Thanks to Adam for presenting the debut of these two tales.

Thanks also to all who came to listen.
