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 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.

Once again, our most 'respected' national paper has taken the side of the most powerful. In this case, its Mr Kissinger. Is anyone out there even surprised by this blatent bias anymore??? Once more, the protesters are the crazies and, I noticed, have a distinct lack of voice in the piece. Wait aminute, they don;t have a voice at all! Oh, except to call them the usual "controversial."

The revelations never seem to stop. A private dump near Enniskerry operated for years outside of its planning permission and is now found to be polluting the ground water. The county council itself may have been using an illegal dump in a quarry near Blessington. Hospital waste is found illegally dumped in several locations in west Wicklow and there may be as many as two hundred illegal dumps in the county. read full story / add a comment

Last night, Tuesday February 26th, Henry Kissinger's official dinner in UCC was interrupted by the sounds of protesters chanting, singing and naming him a war criminal. Today protesters that included staff, students and peace activists came face to face with Mr Kissinger. Our anger was real and our expression of it was powerfully effective. If the business people of Cork wish to celebrate Kissinger, they realise now that UCC is not the forum. Congratulations to all who were there. read full story / add a comment

As he ran a gauntlet of over 200 protesters this morning Henry Kissinger elder statesman, Nobel Peace prize winner and suspected war crimainal, also ran a gamut of emotions and expressions. He went from defiant, getting out of his chauffeur driven limo as a group of around 100 protesters ran to greet him, through appearing dazed and confused by the barrage of noise and bodies which enveloped him and on to cowering and asking 'how could this happen?' as a further group of 120 students awaited him inside the building where he is giving a keynote speech on expanding the irish economy to a group of senior Irish business and political figures.

While the article does not take sides on the issue of abortion, it points out that, while other countries are debating or are in the process of changing their bioethics legislation to take into account the recent advances in biotechonologies, the proposed bill contains a loophole that would legalise human stem cell research in Ireland by suggesting that human life starts "after implantation in the womb of a woman". read full story / add a comment
