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.

Art and Women's Performance

category international | arts and media | opinion/analysis author Friday February 15, 2008 17:21author by C Murray Report this post to the editors

and activism too...

Many women artists have given time to their art and neglected their art to continue
their passionate dialogues with contemporary culture. This small piece is about
some contemporary activist women, in literacy, anti-war, against oppression;
and surviving regimes that find 'art' to be at variance with their ideologies.

Broken YouTube video link removed -Ed

The video link is of Glenda Cimino, a member of IAWM, who, as well as an author and a member
of many groups opposed to War. She produces films and has written one book, called
'Cicada'.(poetry)

Ann Seagrave , who now lives in BCN is a performance artist who works in live art
which uses image, tech and poetry as the basis of her expression. She lived and
performed in Dublin for many years, moving to Ulster and BCN after that.

One of her pieces is entitled 'She Grows her Own Standing' and I was lucky enough
to see the performance at the Hugh Lane during a collaborative show:

'Experiments suceeded in making salt water shine,
By adding her to the liquour of a dozen pickled herrings,
But the roughest treatment causes her to glow more brightly,
So she plants her feet, digs in her heels and grows her own
standing.

In the mild evening air with her body entirely luminous,
Surrounded by a vapour which readily takes fire,
'Others can see their hands from the light shining from her,
When she plants her feet, digs in her heels , and grows her own
standing.'

The show was based in a residency in the Botanic Gardens and Ann
used images of phosphoresence in a canopied tent, with the names
of plants embroidered into the canvas to indicate her grandmother's passion to
read; and how she learned her words from co-op medicine bottles.

Liliana Ursu, is a Romanian poet who survived the Ceaucescu regime,
both Tess Gallagher and Andrew Sorkin were her translators, Sorkin detailed
how poetic collaboration was frowned upon and how meetings had to take place
in big boardrooms beneath the dictator's visage.

I put a review of Ursu on Poetry Ireland, the sense of fear that pervades
the poem of 'The Sky Behind the Forest' is known, has been known by many
women- who despite that dread, be they in Palestine or the US continue to
write and produce images.

Agnes Nemes Nagy was silenced by the State, she was a Magyar writer
whose collaboration with Hugh Maxton* produced the book :- 'Between'.

The images are truly frightening, especially her angels and entities.

The Night of Akhenaton' is featured in the collection, which has a cyclic piece
entitled 'Terraced Landscape' based in 34 planes or levels of being,
the whole poem should be read as an exemplar of modern verse and image that
completely defied the odds of the repression of the artist who saw her job increasingly as:-
'The duty of the poet to obtain citizenship for an increasing horde of nameless emotions'.

Hugh Maxton is an Irish Writer and Poet. his collaboration with Nagy was based
in translation, which was highly skillful, given some of the bad translations of her
work that have appeared on the net.
