offsite link Fraud and mismanagement at University College Cork Thu Aug 28, 2025 18:30 | Calli Morganite
UCC has paid huge sums to a criminal professor
This story is not for republication. I bear responsibility for the things I write. I have read the guidelines and understand that I must not write anything untrue, and I won't.
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.

Taylor Swift has produced an album so bad it's making everyone notice how bad the other ones are. It only goes to show, says Prof James Alexander, that no one remains of interest musically once they hit 30.

Is the academic publishing industry facing ruin from open access journals? Not likely, says Prof Roger Watson. There are some pretty fundamental problems with trying to run a journal that nobody pays for.

Andrew Doyle was warned there would be trouble when he appeared at UC Berkeley for what was intended to be the final stop on Charlie Kirk's tour. Sure enough, he soon found himself in the middle of 'anti-fascist' violence.

Stardust Picket 6 - 8pm

Stardust Picket 6 - 8pm

Stardust picket @ The Silver Swan
Join the picket when you can
Monday to Friday 6 – 8pm

You may have received a letter recently from chopard International Limited, In this letter the Owners of chopard International Limited claim that they have nothing to do with the stardust.

We would like to refute this claim. The directors of chopard International Limited are Andrea Butterly, Glen Butterly and David Farrell. David Farrell is the husband of Andrea Butterly. In the letter which they have issued they make no mention of Glen Butterly as a director of the company.

As the Owners of the Maxol and Centra, they claim that they have nothing to do with the Silver Swan. However Andrea Butterly, has keys to the Silver Swan, and we have seen her going into it on at least one occasion.

The Butterly business Group are attempting to have an interim transfer of names from Patrick Butterly and Sons Ltd to Jason Gamble. We oppose anyone attempting to open another pub on the site where our friends and family’s died, regardless of what name they choose to call them selves.

We are appalled at this cynical attempt by the Butterly business group, to pull the wool over our eyes with this meaningless name change.

We ask you for your support in our fight for justice, and we ask you not to give your custom to the Maxol and Centra while the Butterly business group continue to behave in the insensitive way in which they have.

Come to the fundraiser on 8th April in Cieran’s G.A.A Club (Donnycarney) 8:30pm Tickets €15

I remember the Stardust tragedy, and in fact lost a young cousin in the fire. However I feel it is time to move on and stop trying to prevent people earning a living and creating employment. I heard some of the committee on fm104 last night and was appalled at their comments. It sounded like that if you dont agree with them you are against them, as only thir opinion seems to count with these people. I now wonder if they are really doing justice to the victims.

I applaud the comments above. I think you are 100% correct.

I'll never forget the aftermath of that faithful night and how my aunt, uncle and siblings searched hospital after hospital for their daughters and sisters hoping against all hope that their little girls would have been spared the horrors of that night. How these people ever carried on any sort of life after what they'd been through is a testimony to their fortitude and courage. NOW you have the audacity to suggest that they make way for the capitalists overlords that contributed this tragedy in the first place, to rebuild a lasting monument to remind the victims of how much they have lost. You are an uncompassionate human being my friend and I categorise you with other great thinkers on the 20th and 21st century George W Bush, Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler

What is the connection with the butterlys and Gamble - are they related in any way?
Gamble already has another lease on another pub, why the interest in this??
