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.

Don't agree with everything in this press release - especially where they go on about the 'need' to exclude 'extremists' from the NO Campaign. What is an 'extremist' by their definition? Does this mean that the Workers Solidarity Movement and other Anarchist organisations are to be excluded from the NO to Nice Campaign because they are too 'extreme!? Does this mean that the Socialist Party and other genuine Socialist organisations are to be excluded from the NO to Nice Campaign because they are too 'extreme!? read full story / add a comment

The Ansbacher Report confirms what the ordinary working people of Ireland have known for most of their lives - ours is a society of unequals. An inequality that is institutionalised and leveraged by the powerful for their own political advantage and monetary gains. An inequality that is sustained and nurtured by the political system, which regulates for it. read full story / add a comment

Ireland's thriving arms industry The reality behind Irish 'neutrality' As the Indian and Pakistani governments still stand perilously close to nuclear war, as the Israeli Army occupies and destroys Palestine town by town, and the US administration pursues its war aganst "the axis of evil" in the Third World, the armaments industry has taken a great leap forward. read full story / add a comment

The anti-Catholic factions within Unionism may bring about the collapse of the GFA. In such a scenario the inevitable outcome may be joint authority. The British Government has already accepted in principal joint sovereignty for Gibraltar. Such a solution could represent an honourable and final compromise for the north's conflicting nationalisms. read full story / add a comment

A deal has been struck whereby the US will be immune from prosecution for any war crime for at least a year. The US stance is basically an admission that they carry out war crimes around the world. The claim that there will be "serious consequences" if an US citizen is hauled up before the court just shows what a joke the whole thing is. read full story / add a comment

How about mobile surveillance units in working class areas at the weekends. This morning I heard a couple of addicts on the bus saying their friend was complaining about being beaten by police since 'after that dame street thing they won't get away with it anymore'. Two young Dublin women who claimed they were subjected to a vicious, unprovoked attack by two Gardaí have received an apology and damages in a High Court settlement. Gráinne and Ciara Walsh, both dress designers, from Castleknock in Dublin had sued the Garda Commissioner and the State over the incident which happened on Grafton Street in April 1998. In the statement today, the defendants said they regretted what had happened and acknowledged that the Walsh sisters are people of unblemished character. On the occasion in question, the sisters were with a group of friends on Grafton Street in Dublin when a white car reversed towards read full story / add a comment
