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.

Unionists Recruit in UCD

category national | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Thursday September 23, 2004 15:07author by DUP Supporter Report this post to the editors

It’s great to see the Ulster Unionist Party recruiting in UCD – or so I thought until I realised the Union Jack bedazzled stand was actually that of Young Fine Gael!

I guess they’re really taking Bruton’s comments about reaching out to England and re-joining the Commonwealth seriously!

They have a Greek flag there also- it must be The Serbian Radical Party, showing their affinity with their Orthodox brothers, spewing hatred against the Turks. March on the River Drina!

Maybe I should join Fine Gael, so!!!!!

And there's even an Islamic Society! Sectarianism is definately on the rise. I also blame those Unionist recruiters for everything.

MEIN GOTT! They have one also, at UCD. Read the protocols of the Elders of Zion. It actually predicts that the Jews will set up a secret society, well, it will pretend not to be, but anyway, they will set up a society at UCD.( Roll 'conspiratorial' Hammer Horror music!)

(Note to kneejerk p.c-ers, both right and left; I am being ironic. That is spelt I-R-O-N-I-C.

I am letting you all in on this piece of info, to ensure that

a) Brendan O' Connor does not 'SLAM' Indymedia as being a cover for combat 18 in the next issue of the Sindo

b) I don't get dirty looks from people at the next Reclaim the Streets party.

It is important that I do this, because there are a lot of rude, and dumb people on this island, myself being no exception.

Hey, where is ipsipi/iosaf these days?

sometimes like any good peice of binary I just dissappear and then when you least expect it I come back. [joke]

Geographically I'm still in Barcelona.

(As for here on the imc ireland site)- I'm mostly over in the "other press" section now, Jeff. Since my regular contributions are not technically "of irish domestic interest" we can free up space on the newswire for local stories. You can check latest comments or use the search engine as usual. or go browse-
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?type=otherpress

And I'm spending more time "off the indymedia network" writing and -rewriting stuff- for a whole bunch of new media counter culture related sites as some day you realise there's enough fertilizer in your favourite garden, and "the work" must still be done in other places and other languages for other people.

The flags they show are showing their true patriotism of their party;
The Spanish flag shows their Blueshirt wing as of their link to Franco in the Spanish Civil War, and the Union Jack show their West British flank. And the Greek one shows...well....yeh...that theyre all gay.

Just a thought. Is the guy in the blue shirt behind the desk displaying some new nazi-esque salute to a new found brother signing a non-committal interest circular on the table in front of him? Perhaps this is a new signal of Fine Gael's attitude to embracing all in a pan-european state. Hande Hocht! Zey vill all vote for us!

Hey man,

I'm back in my final year now at NUI Galway. If you need to put me on ice, I'm sure any two bit hitman will be able to track me down on campus-it is the least I deserve for slagging you in the past!

Hell, you can pay the gorillas that act as door 'men' at the college bar to give me a good oul' hammerin! One of them was looking at my id and he looked at my name-it is officially spelt with a 'G', but he pronounced it like 'G' sounds in the word 'golf', instead of 'g' as in' 'genuflect'. ( the movement I demand of those in my presence).

Every single Dutch person I met never made that mistake.Unfortunatly, though, they did not genuflect for me, either.

The great thing about coming back is the fact that having smoked so much actual real weed, I have no interest in scoring skanger hash. Which means I have being having actual lucid dreams at night. This has not happened in years, because I have been a pot head for some time now.
With this return of this great gift, I too might become an ipsipissmus.

Nice to hear from you again, chap. Stay in Europe, though, for sanity's sake. People on this island are wayyy too up their own ass. This fact is not confined just to Mammy Harney and the clones she has spawned from her breast milk. Everyone her feels it is their duty to become like a west Singaporean version of those robotic unison creatures from Star Trek( not a Trekkie, thus my ignorance.) Barcelona is the place to be an ipsipissmus.

All the best,
jeff

rumour has it that many of the so-called 'radicals' in the UCD Labour Party fully support going into government with FG

author by Deargpublication date Sat Sep 25, 2004 23:31author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Maybe, after all Labour were in coalition with FG on a number of occasions. But since these people are members of the Labour Party they can hardly be called "left", can they?

author by kintamapublication date Sun Sep 26, 2004 01:40author address author phone Report this post to the editors

a fair point . I suspect young Rabbitte will be keen on coalition with FG as it will, through the good works of the Reform Movement , allow him the prize of membership of the Britisn Commonwealth. a day that would no doubt make him just as proud as John Brutal when he met a member of the military wing of the Windsor family.

author by UCDerpublication date Sun Sep 26, 2004 03:45author address author phone Report this post to the editors

I agree wholeheartedly that membership of the Labour Party (and support for coalition with FG...) does disqualify one from the 'left'. Tell that to the 'UCD left'.
