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.

Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

Matt Cooper talked to my best mate today on the phone . . Call to Action on Nice

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday October 15, 2002 02:24author by News Dissector Report this post to the editors

. . . . let's make the shit hit the fans . . . .

Matt Cooper (tribune/last word) talked to my best mate today on the phone and claimed he did not know what GATS was let alone article 133 . . . who does he think he is kidding? Anyone who gives a shit needs to do everything in their power to initiate a proper NICE Debate over the next few days. SPREAD THIS AROUND THRU AVAILABLE CHANNELS

Another journalist friend rang an Irish Civil Servant who is on the (secretive) Article 133 Committee and asked for an interview or any info whatsoever about what they are doing in Brussels as regards GATS . . . .the journalist was basically told that such questions were 'inappropriate' and even downright rude and basically that what they dealt with was secret and not for oversight by cheeky young people (Irish Representatives on Article 133 Committee:Tony Joyce (01) 6312543 - Dublin
Eugene Forde (00) 322 2308580 - Brussels). . . UK are presently being pressed into putting education and health on the table for GATS by the wto as observer reported this weekend. . . we are so globalised that it is scary to think what the IRLGOV are offering up to keep american industry here now that we are in for the 80s again and will be approaching the IMF for help again. Add to the already completed privatisation of the public housing sector the privatisation of everything else short of teachers, Doctors, Nurses and Public media - give ireland a year of bad recession and the by then unaccountable 133 Committee might start talking the talk about all that shit.

Ireland as the next Argentina anyone? Bertie looked like he had seen a ghost on the news this evening when he ranted about liars talking about neutrality being lost through nice. Reminded me of Nixon truth be told.

Am I crazy or did dev not enshrine neutrality in the constitution? So why are they fucking with it.

Cowen needs a proper pr person. War against terror ... WE ... DO .... THIS ...AND ... WE ... DO .... THAT over and over on Q and A this evening. Are those american warplanes figments of Tim Horigan's imagination or are the GOVT lying like it is going out of style?

Matt Cooper (tribune/last word) talked to my best mate today on the phone and claimed he did not know what GATS was . . . let alone article 133 . . . who does he think he is kidding? Anyone who gives a shit needs to do everything in their power to initiate a proper NICE Debate over the next few days.

Enlargement aspect of the debate is a smokescreen. Poland is presently 50% 50% pro anti NICE. They are not the only ones.

The Media are rolling over and playing dead . . IT and INDO are giving hugely more coverage to the yes side. Independent network news slanted their coverage (1.5 Million audience per day through local radio) in a three to one ratio towards the yes side for a month until the Greens Caught them out. The REFCOM is simply an instrument of FF policy. Citibank are paying for very suspect polls and their record is incredibly suspect when it comes to the great globalisation rip-off. IBEC and IFSC usually secretive are killing themselves to appear as charitable and do gooding members of the community.

It's a setup and it is a stunning example of '21st Century Democracy'.

Below are all the media Contacts you need to convince yourself that it is a big lie.They are humans ring them scream at them if you have to. Write down what they say. Demand that they strictly enforce the 50/50 requirement of the Broadcasting bill.

Ask them about 133. Ask them why the constitution is being changed when Neutrality is enshrined in it already. Ask them to ask Bertie for the contents of the list that the Irish Reps on the ART 133 Committee put forward as their bottom line for privatisation in GATS/EU/WTO Negotiations. Ask why the present and next generation of the left is being ignored and sidelined at every possible opportunity. Ask about Shannon and do it now. aSK THEM WHY mARY hARNEY IS cutting and pasting her statements on 133 from the WTO Website.

Ask them how much Landlords get from Social Welfare each year and how much of it is taxed.Ask them to justify their existence as Journalists.

Spread this list around as widely as possible. pHONE NUMBERS AS FOLLOWS: Block their phones so FFPD manipulators can not get access. Do the dirty work now. There are far more of us than there are of them. Bertie loses it and plays dirty. Two can play that game. Or even 1000.
