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.

The Postanarchism Listserv
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/postanarchism

This group is being created with the hopes of stirring things up within contemporary anarchist theory and praxis by synthesizing with it concepts and ideas from critical theory, poststructuralism, phenomenology, situationism, postcolonialism, autonomism, postmodernism, existentialism, postfeminism, zapatismo, postleftism, queer theory   and other contemporary critical-theoretical tendencies. Potential anarchist theorists of interest include Osugi Sakae, Todd May, Jacques Ellul, Bakunin, Rolando Perez, Shifu, Saul Newman, Emma Goldman, Ricardo Flores Magon, Luis Gambone, Max Stirner, Andrew Koch, Tolstoy, Hakim Bey, Bhagat Singh, Malatesta, Wolfi Landstreicher, Sam Mbah and Proudhon.   Parallels between the ideas of these thinkers and of theorists like Reiner Schurmann, Edward Said, Merleau-Ponty, Julia Kristeva, Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Luce Irigaray, Subcommandante Marcos, Guy Debord, Sartre, Paul Virilio, Giorgio Agamben, Baudrillard, Manuel De Landa, Homi Bhabha, Heidegger, Hardt and Negri, Judith Butler, Claude Lefort, Horkheimer and Adorno, Chris Hables Gray, Donna Haraway, Derrida, George Katsiaficas, Neitzsche and Ian Angus are all on topic.   Discussion includes both theoretical and practical aspects of such syntheses; which includes contemporary movements imbued with an antiauthoritarian sensibility but not a specifically "anarchist" ideological-historical commitment as well as more explicitly anarchist projects as well. The title of the list "postanarchism" is not a sign that signifies a new ideology to rally the troops around but is rather a nod to Newman's call to move beyond the limitations of classical anarchist ideologies into more open, pluralistic and hybrid "anarchistic" critical theories - in other words, a virtual paradigm shift toward a post-normal anarchism, not at all unlike that which has occurred with the post-normal science movement of Funtowicz and Ravetz or the post-Marxist movement of Laclau and Mouffe.

one long debate being on the nature and "need" for a "national anarchic theory".
=?¿?¿?¿? quite right, dodgy and prob. a front for ideas more trad. thought of as being "extreme right".
But don't take my word for it, join the group.

¿wot u make of dis?
go to the link, read the article, admire the html and the persistance (these people publish two-three files a day, and they translate them! into español, indeed a lot of español North American stuff enamates from this group).

emenates? eminem.
think is the "Bush Deficit" so great?
could it possibly be the $44 trillion referred to at the link?
Now I rarely speak of trillions coz they hurt the head, but I tell you pals and foes alike, the planet only generates a taxed income of about $44trillion. So what is this group about?

Honestly if someone could explain to me I'd be giggling.

thats not true at all, the list administrator kicked off the national anarchists who joined right when they presented themselves and they havent been heard from in almost a year! there have been absolutely no discussions of the sort – this is a list for those anarchists who are tired of watching the movement slide into mirror images of the alphabet soup marxist parties (iso, rcp, swp, etc.) rather than doing what anarchists do best - challenging and dismantling all forms of authority and domination.

not you guys again, these people pop up all the time on british lists it seems or around green anarchist circles. thinly veiled international third positionist fascists with a green/primitivist bent. nothing to do with internationalism.

All this is on CD.
so you will see the moderator didn't kick them off the list.
do ·not· doubt me.

I did say "join the list & see for yourself", but I _·do·_ think it only fair to warn my pals that unsavoury elements are in that room.

and no mention of Hobbes.

A strange and telling omission.
