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.

I'm always suspicious of those who claim to know, and here I quote "'The Real Renaissance", "Russia's real objective", etc etc, people who know things for a surety, generally know little, thinking that there is only one immutable unchageable perspective, rather than probabilities. Also knowing the "real" reason for something many times becomes a problem when new information that counters the current reason surfaces, that information when introduced to someone who features "faith" and "belief" highly in their personality makeup, I find, has a tendency to be discarded to protect the original model.

Also, all this "truth" coming from a Moslem convert (much like a born again Christian, who generally try to behave "more Christian" than Christians) makes me a little suspicious. l'll listen to the Moslem perspective once the Moslem community acknowlege the potential validity of other perspectives (that said the same goes for other monotheistic religions) .

Remember people, a disciple is just an asshole looking for a real person to latch onto.

One last thought, been given the "real reason" for anything is a closed statement, and does not encourage discussion.

Still, go along, make your own decision, I could be wrong, as I'm not 100% sure of anything.

Peace and Hope

So you just said something that you are not sure if its right?

Ok then come to the talks and then make up ur mind, people are either right or wrong in some cases and history is one of them.

It is well to recall the notable achievement of Islamic civilizations back then. At the time these were well ahead of Western Europe. This is the theme of Bernard Lewis the influential expert on Islam. However Islam has produced almost nothing of civilizational value for over three centuries. Its most notable recent inventions have been airplane hijacking and suicide belts. Islam has never been innovative or developmental when it has been fundamentalist. It was pluralist in the middle ages as it was during much of the Ottoman period. Also the geography of the Mediterranean itself lends itself to civilized discourse and trade, exchange of ideas and the like. Arguably Islamic Spain was primarily Mediterranean rather than Islamic. By contrast the dark and ruinous creed of wahabism emerged in the middle of the vast desert of Arabia. The former was about building and learning. The terror variants of the latter are about destroying the achievements of others like on 9/11, hatred, cruelty and intolerance. Islam is the father of each of these opposite tendencies. That is its paradox. The US, in encouraging democracy in the Muslim world in the wake of the attacks, had the idea to promote the good form of Islam and eclipse the bad.

Well Bernard Lewis is clearly a foolish man.

Why not try Karen Armstrong? or even classical scourse like Tabari or Waqadi?

Or event better why not come to the Talk and find out how Muslims advanced mankind and liberated the jews from an anti semintic church controlled spain.

Thank you
