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.

Letter to the Mr. James Hamilton (Director of Public Prosecutions) dated September 28th 2002.

Subject: State corruption Core problem? Possible answer at: http://www.finnachta.com/28Sept2002_.htm BACKUP at: http://homepage.eircom.net/~williamfinnerty/28Sept2002_.htm

"Health Minister Micheal Martin T.D. was informed of the problems with suicidal depression in
my family in Section 12 (page 4) of my letter to him dated July 27th 2000. As has been related
in earlier correspondence (now on some of my Internet pages), copies of my letter dated July
27th 2000 to Minister Martin were also sent (in the weeks following July 27th 2000) to a number
of other people which includes: Prime Minister Ahern, President Mary McAleese, Mr. Kenneth
Murphy (Director General of the Law Society of Ireland), and Dr. Anne Jeffers (Consultant
Psychiatrist, Western Health Board)"

WHat kind of state would we be in if everyone who suffered the effects of "parental alcoholism" emailed the Minister for Health and all these other people to inform them?

Or are you just "special", William?

So you wanted to email the DPP, right? Was there any reason to email all the following people?

Republic of Ireland Director of Public Prosecutions (Mr. James Hamilton) ; Council of
Europe Directorate General of Legal Affairs ; Secretariat of Mr Gemelli (EU Committee on
Petitions) ; European Union Commissioner for Health (Mr David Byrne) ; Mr Helmut Betz
(Directorate-general for the European Parliament Presidency) ; Margot Wallstrom (European
Union Environment Commissioner) ; Executive Secretary of GRECO (Mr Manuel Lezertua) ;
European Parliament Ombudsman ; Catherine.Fenech@cec.eu.int
Prime Minister Bertie Ahern ; Mr. Patrick Burke (Appropriate District Court Clerk) ; Chief
Justice of The Republic of Ireland (Mr. Ronan Keane) ; Police Commissioner Pat Byrne (Chief
Officer, Garda Siochana) ; Police Inspector John O'Riordan (Western Region) ; Minister for
Justice (Mr. Michael McDowell) ; Attorney General (Mr Rory Brady S.C.) ; Health Minister
Micheal Martin ; Environment and Local Government Minister (Mr Martin Cullen) ; Heritage
Minister (Mr John O'Donohue) ; Galway County Council Director of Environmental Services
(Tom Kavanagh) ; Galway County Council Law Agent (Tom O'Donohue) ; Republic of Ireland
Ombudsman ; President Mary McAleese ; Sean O'Neachtain (Member of European Parliament)

European Parliament) ; Finnachta (Eircom a/c) ; Billy Finnerty (MSN Hotmail) ; William P.

You know, people might take you seriously if you didn't send them this crap.

Is Williewatch a real idiot, or is he/she being paid (in benefit or kind) by someone or
some organisation to act like one?

Either way, my hope is that Williewatch might someday decide to put his/her willie where his/her
mouth is - and shut up.

Although the Williewatch comments at the address below are like "water off a duck's back" to me, I do
not believe they do the Indymedia cause any good - and that is the main reason why I am sending this
note.

Normally I ignore cowardly people who ABUSE useful systems (such as the one Indymedia provides)
for the purpose of attacking people from behind a cloak of anonymity.

I, William A Finnerty, BA, Co. Cavan, am not the William Finnerty who often publishes comments on this website and emails about 60 people with each email he sends out. In contrast, I have a life.

End of statement.

Good for you William.

It must be wonderful to feel so superior.

I wonder why it is I don't envy you though?

Thanks William for your public comment. You have already communicated with me by email, and I can safely assume that you copied your email to the Chief Justice, Police Commissioner Byrne, all the MEPS, TDs, Senators, County Managers, newsrooms, local Parish Priest, Bishops, the AG, the DPP, local fire chief, Director of Consumer Affairs, Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loain, County Managers, Town Clerks and Town Commissioners and perhaps Elvis himself.

Hey William - why don't you ask all those judges and politicians that you email to get Indymedia to take these comments off the website? You already pissed off the editors and everyone else on the mailing list, why not expose them for the willing tools of a corrupt system that they most certainly are?

Just don't get another assault charge while you're at it.
