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.

Dublin Support McCann Campaign - Get involved

category dublin | politics / elections | press release author Monday November 03, 2003 20:53author by Aoife Ní Fhearghail - Dublin Support McCann Campaignauthor email aoifenf at yahoo dot co dot ukauthor phone 087 7955013 Report this post to the editors

Join the canvassing teams

Join the canvassing teams from Dublin each weekend until the Assembly Elections
Phone 087 7955013.

Journalist, socialist and long-time political activist, Eamonn McCann is standing in the upcoming Northern Ireland Assembly Elections for the Socialist Environmental Alliance in Foyle.

McCann, one of the leaders of the Derry Civil Rights Movement, last stood for the Derry Labour Party in 1970. Since then he has been a tireless fighter for an end to sectarianism and a turn to class politics in the North.

Activists in Dublin are organising teams of cavassers to travel to Derry over the next 3 weekends to help out with the campaign.

If you're sick of politicians who preach peace while shaking George Bush's blood-drenched hand, then get involved in McCann's campaign and build a real alternative to the communal politics that have dominated the North for decades.

Contact Aoife on 087 7955013 if you can travel to Derry on Sat 8/Sun 9 or Sat 15/Sun 16 or Sat 22/Sun 23rd. Accomodation & lifts will be arranged and the craic will be mighty!

If you will be in Derry at any other time, each evening the SEA are organising canvassing from 5pm. Meet Campaign HQ (next to the Gweedore Bar on Waterloo St), where you can also pick up leaflets.

The SEA is also running Marian Baur in East Londonderry. Contac the Derry office on 71371592 for details on canvassing.


Finally, as the SEA has no big backers and no corporate donors, any donation would be appreciated. Account details are:

Socialist Environmental Alliance
Sort code 93-84-83, Account number 27456-059, First Trust Bank, Meadow Bank, Derry.

The email address for the SEA is seaderry@hotmail.com and the office phone
number is Derry 71371592.
