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.

Michael Moore is great. He's naturally been compared to Mark Thomas for his full on, and frighteningly funny tirades against corporate america. He has a new film, the first documentary in decades to be allowed into Cannes, and the unanimous winner of the 55th Anniversary Jury Prize. The website is really sharp - check out the brief (southparkesque) history of America in Cartoon Format...also loads of clips, and the trailer is superb. Make sure your speakers are plugged in, sit back and enjoy.... btw I've nothin' to do with him, or the film, or the site but I just think its worth tellin people about...also, in the slightly stale world of computer screen imagery ,this site is sparkling...and it's politically spot on!

On December 12th/13th 2002 the EU summit in Copenhagen will take place. There are sufficient reasons to protest, for example against the racism of Fortress Europe and the European surveillance delusion. In addition however also the ethnophil/"voelkisch" EU foreign policy should get attacked. Under German leadership, the European union has pushed forward the supression of the "multi-ethnic-state" Yugoslavia in favour of "voelkisch", nationalist gangs (UCK) and states (Croatia, Slovenia). Furthermore the EU supports -morally and financially- the islamic and Arab fight for national identity under despots like Khomeini, Hussein and Arafat. read full story / add a comment

Day of Action Against Fees Boycott Lectures and Reclaim your College This government has increased capitation fees by 69% and now plans to introduce fees of E4,000 or more. We cannot lie down and just accept this attack on education. Fees of E4,000 and more will mean thousands of student dropping out of college, poverty conditions for those who remain, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary young people being denied access to college. As the government is now firmly set on the re-introduction of fees, we have to be firmly set on opposing them - we have to be willing and able to take serious mass action against fees. read full story / add a comment

IFI Workers are protesting at the manner in which they have been treated since the decision by the Irish Government and ICI - which holds a 49 per cent stake in IFI – to liquidate the company. The 620 workers from the 3 Irish plants received: · less than a single day’s notice of termination of their employment; · no statutory redundancy payments · no regulatory RP1s (Redundancy Payments forms) which are necessary in order to receive statutory redundancy payments. · no assurances that their pension fund would be able to meet its liability because of the drop in investment returns. A high percentage of workers have served in the company for over 20 years. The workers want guarantees that all statutory entitlements due to them will be funded by the shareholders. They also want an agreed severance package and any shortfall in pension entitlements to be funded by the shareholders read full story / add a comment
