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.

so important it's pretty

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Sunday April 28, 2002 04:13author by David Arthur Johnston - practicality towards goodnessauthor email Hatrackman at Yahoo dot com Report this post to the editors

an array of information that attempts to articulate why, exactly, there is no honour in carrying a gun for your job

writing with a mind that thinks that carrying a gun for your job is dumb

the illusary justification of deadly force

focus

a true warrior concentrates all energy into forgiving the attacker- unto death--- this is the path of mastery

you carry a gun because you are so afraid of death that you think it acceptable to kill to preserve your own life... but what you haven't considered is that when you go into a situation of a mind where you would rather be dead than kill those who would attack are faced with a catalyst thought where they may (it is always risking all), themselves, consider a mindset of maturity... if mediation takes a thousand years it takes a thousand years

you must ask yourself- do I work for the majority or do I work for the common good?-- if you work for the common good then dedicate yourself to truth and know that if we want to evolve into a virtuous world we must be virtuous

and also know that if you work for the common good that the world is in a transendent state right now- rooted around the thought that the demystification of divinity is, simply, dedication to truth and working up to the end of many industries, but hopefully we will have put much thought into the creation of free(autonomous) communities and easy to work with greenhouses- stubborness is not a virtue- remember honour

there is love and distraction from it- you are a reflection of highest good, ya just need to shake off your fear(and anger will follow) and your addictions to luxury and remember that most fun comes from a world of trust

anyhoo... out of time here...

love you

love you all

there is a law that supercedes all others- be conscientious

yup

alrighty

me

David

then something about defining, or at least, an attempt at defining the common good…

good: practicality towards a goal

common: unifying

something about the path of maximum happiness and your responsibility above all others to deduce it

that whole 'truth shall set you free' thing was not thought up just to impress

observe the world objectively and you will see things having fun- proving that 'fun' exists

please excuse my catch-phrasiness

dedicate yourself to truth and look at the world around you

love

know that, regardless of any instigation you see coming from me, that spite and anger stem from contentment with immaturity and that the path of maturity is the path of righteousness

the big calm is real and stronger than any panic, just know that only through humility (being true to self... and to be true to self one must be true) can the big calm be embraced

truth becomes obvious with dedication to it and if you don't trust me you can figure it out on your own

the path of love is dictated by seemingly random inspirations- don't be stubborn when you find that your plans cannot happen

you have all the time in the world if your intent is good

happiness is bigger than sadness

Heaven is here

be very very happy

yup, anyhoo,

all love forever,

me,

David

then compliment with question of children and family…

everything that can know fun and everything that suffers is my family

we most honour our children when we most honour truth

one of the curses is knowing that we cannot rely on ignorance even to feed our families

good- when we stop relying on the machine to provide the other system becomes apparent

destroy your ID
