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.

Victims of Imperialism Remembered at Columbus Day Vigil

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Thursday October 13, 2005 01:17author by Robbie Sinnottauthor email robbiesin at gmail dot com Report this post to the editors

from Iroquois to Iraqi victims - more than 500 years

This 25 min mp3 soundscape can be heard directly on broadband by clicking
http://radio.indymedia.org/uploads/2004.10.11-columbusday.mp3

or right-click it to download on any connection.

It was recorded at the US Embassy, October 11th, 2004, to mark a fitting commemoration of Columbus Day and its significance.

The vigil was organised by the Pit Stop Ploughshares/Dublin Catholic Worker who are on trial at the Four Courts on october 24th 2004 for disarming a US navy plane in a non-violent action at Shannon Warport.

Sustained organisation of events such as this over the past three years show that the action against the warplanea was no stunt, but a logical direct action manifestation of consistent anti-war morality.

Did you forget columbus day this year?
What is the point of reposting something a year later if it wasn't followed up? You could just have easily said -

The questioner's point was not unexpected, and with respect, it's a decision for the editors.

I'll give some reasons why it's news anyway.

* The Pit Stop Ploughshare Trial occurs on October 24th, 2005, and this is previously unbroadcast 'footage' of one of their actions.

* This wonderful clip (have you listened to it?) was only made freely available to everyone online yesterday. - Why now? I didn't have the means before.

* The news is undergoing a process of re-definition. If you decide that something is not news because of a time-lag, where do you draw the line?

* This is a first-hand 'report' with little mediation. It comes as close as possible to bringing the reader to that space and time.

* Finally, what do you think has changed re US Imperialism since this action a year ago. it was a fitting remembering of a beautiful act.

If i had written a delicate piece of prose on the same event, and published it under opinion/analysis, would that have been acceptable to you because it ads to indy's creative writing content.

Time lags could mean that potential documentaries for indymedia might not make it online for months after an event or series of interviews/events - does that diminish their worth?

If you limit news to knee-jerk accounts, no matter how well written, you lose lose contemplative beauty and make the site less colourful/more predictable.

the resonance of their action is undiminished a year later, as it is unheeded. It wasn't designed to be 'news', and yet, it was as newsworthy 500 years ago as it will be in 500 years time.

Having said that, I would have put this in the 'comments' section of the appropriate events notice and left it at that; but the report is timeless and the five who risk their freedom for others' lives go on trial on nine days.

Please tell me what's news?

this article isn't/wasn't a repost. Like so many other articles, it is an account, no, a witness of an EVENT posting in retrospect or post facto.

Hope you enjoy/ed it with all its layers of meaning and non-time/space specific context.

I can't help thinking that if i'd shorn it of that context and just posted it, you would have had no cause of complaint.

just like to comment that this is a great piece of soundscape. Feck the politics, I just liked it as a bit of sound and would recommend it (and other of Robbie's stuff) to anyone who likes the sound of life being lived with passion.
