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.

to building and safeguarding communities.

Our cities are not egalitarian, rich neighbourhoods are seen side by side with those of the poor.
Cities are rarely homogenous, and there is often tension between population groups whose lifestyles are different. This diversity can be enriching provided it is allowed space within the city, and given expression in the community.
Avoiding a "fortress approach" to urban planning, means avoiding a situation where security, (security from violence on the street or in the home, fear of buglaries or muggings, rapes or gender racist or other motivated attacks, or precarious environments and the fear of having no-one to turn to for help, no service providing protection or compensation) are afforded only to the private sector.
Safety and security in all it's forms is a right to which the citizens of Europe's cities do not have equal access.
Fear based on whether or not we are of European origin, native or imigrant, rich or poor, young or old, male or female; inequalities based with respect to dangers faced in cities, of marginalisation, of health problems, of violence, access to regal assistance, access to pensions that guarantee dignity, of the recognition of our fundamental civil rights
.
We cannot simply count on market laws to redress these inequalities.

These are intolerable wrongs.

The okupe movement has this morning opened a squatters advice centre opposite the offices of the Council who are still being pursued through the courts by the social collectives for endangering the basic civil rights of the citizens of the community of the city of Barcelona by allowing rampant speculation and illegal and immoral real estate practises.

It is located at -
the Barcelona's council's office of citizen information. C/Ronda San Pau.

The authorities will probably clear the building later, but the associated project of "Miles de Viviendas" (thousands of homes) which has continuously housed those in economic precarious conditions throughout the city with high profile occupations and subsequent evictions is still open at

C/Joan de Bourbó 11
Barceloneta

(between the port and the beach)

For their part the authorities have moved only a little closer to fulfilling thier obligations under the European Union social contract, and increased funding for social housing and introduced laws to regularise the renting of private property to tourists. It is more than has happened in other richer cities and states of the EU but it is still not enough.

Okupe tu també!
