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

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.

Should the Right take the moral high ground and refrain from cancel culture? Or should it give the Left a taste of its own medicine ? and try to teach it a lesson? It has to be the latter, argues Professor James Allan.

David Irving (Fascist and Holocaust denier) to speak at NUIG

category galway | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Sunday January 25, 2009 18:33author by Socialist Society NUIG - Socialist Partyauthor email socialist at socs dot nuigalway dot ie Report this post to the editors

David Irving has been invited to speak at NUI Galway's Literary and Debating Society.

The fascist and Holocaust denier David Irving has been invited by the Literary and Debating Society (Lit & Deb) to attend a debate at NUI Galway on the 19th March.

The invitation was granted after an initial debate last Thursday as to whether Irving would be allowed speak. A vote was held after this debate, with the result: 100 for and 63 against inviting Irving.

It is unclear whether it was Lit & Deb who approached Irving or if it was Irving who offered to speak. If it was Irving's offer, it shows how intent he is to speak, especially on prestigious university platforms. In March 2008, the UCC Philosoph invited Irving but the debate was cancelled due to protests and the campaigning of the Stop Irving Campaign (see http://www.indymedia.ie/article/86405).

Unlike UCC, this debate will focus directly on Irving's views on the Holocaust, not just free speech. The motion will probably be of the form: 'That This House believes the Holocaust happened'. This title makes it even easier for Irving to cut straight to his anti-Semitic, racist and Fascist views and more worryingly to use these views to recruit to the Fascist cause.

Other significant developments since the UCC event have been the economic crisis, deepening disillusionment with the mainstream political parties and the recent Israel-Gaza conflict. Each of these, in their own way, will be an assist to Irving and his Fascist supporters.

At the debate, the Socialist Society (with other socialists and anarchists) argued that Irving should not be given a platform for his views, especially a prestigious platform where his views could be seen as respectable or credible.

Over the coming weeks, the Socialist Society in NUIG along with the Galway branch of the Socialist Party will seek to build a campaign of all those affected by the visit of Irving. And on March 19th, we will be calling for all anti-fascist activists to travel to Galway to resist Irving's visit.

This Fascist recruiter must not be allowed to speak and build in our city!

An extended statement will follow this announcement in the next few days.
