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.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

That the absolute absence of news in main stream media in Ireland is a disgrace. Here is a country that is on the brink of a civil war. A war between rich and poor. A war between the controlling upper/middle class and poorer working class. A war between the prevalent economic ideas of the past 10 to 20 years and ideas of the past of Marx and other socialists. A war which is almost a metaphor for the for the entire time period since the end of the wall. Within Venezuela, there is the potent influence of America. Where they overthrow leaders who they dislike for taking trips to Cuba, or putting in place a foreign policy which differs to that of America. As Bush wants to get his hand on the control of massive amounts of oil, so that he may keep his highly polluting population with gas to drive read full story / add a comment

With the expected start of Operation "Get Iraqi Oil" only weeks away, Shannon is seeing plenty of military business. Not all of it as obvious as one might think. Recent arrivals Evergreen International have been through Shannon, in their pretty 747-200F (reg: N486EV) Evergreen have a $75million military cargo contract. Arrow, with a much smaller contract have been through too. And so have the old reliables WORLD Airways, and their passengers, the US ground troops. read full story / add a comment

Anarchist support dublin are a group of anarchists who came together as a response to recent incidents of state repression against activists in Ireland. Our purpose is to support those arrested and those in prison. We are not confined to ireland however, and recognise the need to support our comrades internationally. We provide financial and moral support to those finding themselves victims of state repression by writing letters, sending in books, zines, and highlighting the cases of prisoners so they do not just rot away in isolation. Anyone who feels they can help, whether it be by simply writing a few letters to those inside, donating old books/zines etc or getting involved with the group, please contact us at Anarchist Support Dublin PO. box 3355 dublin 7 Eire anarsuppdublin@hotmail.com ===== Our movement can only be judged by how well we support our prisoners. __________________________________________________ read full story / add a comment
