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.

SEND A SOLIDARITY LETTER or postcard to Anti-War Resister Chris Cole in H.M.P. Wandsworth!

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Tuesday January 25, 2011 06:45author by Ciaron O'Reilly - Giuseppe Conlon House/ London Catholic Worker Report this post to the editors

He's in there for us, We're on the loose for him!

Chris Cole
Prisoner Number: A81 47 AZ
HMP Wandsworth
Heathfield Rd.
London
SW18 3HS
ENGLAND

Last Wednesday I accompanied Chris Cole, Catholic Worker/ plowshares activist/ father of 3, to Westminister Court on Horsferry Rd. in central London. This magistrate's court had been the site of December's Julian Assange (denial of) bail hearings. This time the word's media were not assembled to witness nonviolent anti-war resistance. One of the security guys on the metal detectors recognised me from previous weeks giving speeches outside his window pane, seemed happy to see me!

As it is with these places it's all "hurry up and wait" as we were sent upstairs and then sent downstairs and then sent upstairs again...before the police officer from downstairs came upstairs and took Chris into custody.

When I left Chris he was in good spirits, later that afternoon he was sentenced to 28 daze. For the past week he has been unable to make contact with his family (no phone call) from within HMP Wandsworth. Last Wednesday, I text Belfast @ Seamus residing on the southside of London and he got up to visit Chris on his first morning in custody...due to this new thang they got where first 30 folks who turn up can get a visit with a prisoner brought in the previous day!

Chris's present imprisonment follows 18 months of numerous court letters, bailiffs threats visits and his steadfast refusal to pay the fine.

BACKGROUND ON CHRIS'S 2009 RESISTANCE ACTION TO THE ARMS TRADE

CCTV footage (2 mins 27 secs) of Chris's nonviolent resistance at the opening conference at the Queen Elizabeth II of "Defence and Security Equipment International (Dsei) 2009 Arms Fair"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azHNNesrePw

With spray can in hand Chris went to the conference centre just before the event and sprayed ‘build peace not war machines’ ‘stop this bloody business’ and ‘arms trade=death’ on the front entrance and poured fake blood over the steps. He was shortly convicted of criminal damage and fined just under £2,000.
