Indymedia ireland

Indymedia Ireland is a volunteer-run non-commercial open publishing website for local and international news, opinion & analysis, press releases and events. Its main objective is to enable the public to participate in reporting and analysis of the news and other important events and aspects of our daily lives and thereby give a voice to people.

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.

everybody get together

category national | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Friday July 11, 2003 17:14author by depp Report this post to the editors

meeting desirable

how about everybody who regularly reads or contributes to indymedia get together, and invite everyone else...

a grand meeting/ series of meetings .....
somewhere in the midlands.... all welcome..... friends and foes.. for some good old fashioned talking

NO prior agenda other than to discuss the creation of a better society/ community/ country/ world

no existing organisations taking over the show

everybody equal, everybody entitled to have their say

Leave your ego at home
Leave your lectures at home
Leave your hatchets at home
Leave your group loyalties at home

Nobody's going to Win on their own
To make RADICAL progress the people have to come together (and do more than walk down the street)

Good initiative deep. I certainly would not be against it. I would imagine that the majority of Indymedia "participants" are Dublin based, so might be better to meet somewhere in the city, at least on the first occasion anyhow - though I know its a bollix that everything seems to happen in Dublin.

I wonder if anything like this is done in other countries?

I think the geographical spread is not so Dublin biased?

Anyway my idea would be if something like this were to happen then it could become a more regular occurence at a more local level, so Dublin city dwellers could meet there whenever they want.

My initial idea would be for a nationwide gathering.

So you want to fuck off to the country and sit around talking bolloxs for weekend - off you go..............

Fuckin' off to the pub with your mates (while highly enjoyable mais bein sur), is the place where bollix is talked about - doing something like as has been suggested is a positive thing, that can only lead to good things.

Though regarding depp's last point:-

"Nobody's going to Win on their own
To make RADICAL progress the people have to come together (and do more than walk down the street)"

It is my hope that through the local social forums, the ISF, ESF & WSF - which "victory" and real local, national & world progress will be made. Though what has been suggested is of course a social forum in itself.

Right, I think its time to talk real bollix for a while in a local watering hole. I'm sure i'll wake up feeling totally refreshed and ready to change the world :)

While of course not everyone is from Dublin (me included), Dublin may be the easiest venue, I suspect it has the highest concentration of indyheads and as well is basically the epicenter of public transport. If ya put it in midlands i suspect that fewer are likely to attend as its harder to acess and requires more people to travel.
now Kates 2 cents!

Might head along myself too. Will be good to hear what others have to say, and add my own voxpop too. It will also be good to be able to meet 'Durutti', and put a face and name to the person, since for some reason, he's not 'man' enough to tell us who he is, what organisation (if any) he is involved with etc...

yeah, why don't we all go off to the boglands where we can't corrupt any other impressionable minds, and then they can truck over the dishes from GCHQ-UK and microwave us at a safe distance where no innocents may be contaminated... the Dept of Misinformation may even pump out the latest Adbusters CD for an ironic touch and really fuck with our minds...
Think I'm a paranoid type? Be wary of the vague double-talk... there are people paid to disrupt us...

I think its a good idea but...

"NO prior agenda other than to discuss the creation of a better society/ community/ country/ world"

...is a bit too broad for my liking. Solving the world's problems in a weekend. Yeah right.

What about starting with what people feel they can contribute to the Indymedia project and take it from there?

If you got a job you'd realise that. You're using Marxist 19C terminology.

Well there's certainly no working class down in the bogs of north Mayo where they're all scabbing their pseudo-Gaeltacht grants and living the life of Reilly with the contents of the brown paper envelopes from Brussels .....

Bejaysus, even Karl Marx never dreamed up such a Utopia ....

Money for nathin', and de sheep for free .....

I don't think that was called for. :-(

It bloody well was called for .... the plain people of Ireland are busting a gut working to make ends meet, being fleeced for taxes and ripped off by the inflated property market ....

Meanwhile up there up there in North Mayo we have a Utopia the likes of which Karl Marx in his wildest dreams never imagined ..... the euros falling like manna from heaven .... of course the luxurious life of Reilly of the "poor mouth" peasantry in our "disadvantaged regions" is all well concealed from the rest of the world ......

Ye probably have some scam to get free Internet access as a "disadvantaged region" ... "ah sur can't afford de price of a compuher for de childer" ....... and then ye come on-line and think ye can insult everybody else ......

Well if ye're dishing it out, ye'll have to take it when others lash back .....

I didnt post the piece above and I wonder if that was really King Mob. I would attend in a positive spirit, I just hope that the SP wont come along and try to take over or wreck the event. (If they cant control something then they will try to destroy it.)

Seanin, ignore that fuckwit. Yep, just igonoreit. His piece was so dumb the only answer it deserves is abuse.
