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.

About forty people picketed Bertie's constituency office ,St luke's last night; that's about twice the number of the last protest held there two weeks ago. Bertie wasn't in unfortunately -or if he was he showed no inlination of coming out.The only person to emerge scurried quickly away up Drumcondra hill .Somebody told me it might have been Royston Brady. The picket- called by the drumcondra anti war group and supported by the newly formed St pats college against the war- was very lively and got lots of hoots from passing motorists. Drumcondra and st pats groups are planning to hold a joint public meeting early in April. We should have a venue sorted out by next week. Should anyone in the college be interested in getting involved please get in touch on: 087 6988540. read full story / add a comment

34 die as US missiles hit wrong target luke Harding in Halabja, northern Iraq Monday March 24, 2003 The last thing that Omar Mohammed Saeed heard was the sound of the American missile plunging through the roof of his dormitory. It was 12.30 at night, and Mr Saeed and his fellow peshmerga fighters had been fast asleep. The laser-guided bomb reduced the compound where Mr Saeed had been staying into a tomb of pulverised concrete and metal. There was no chance of escape. "We don't understand. Why did America do this? My uncle was a kind man who would never have hurt anybody," his nephew, Sadar Mohammed, said yesterday. "This makes us love Saddam Hussein rather than America," he added. read full story / add a comment

Today peaceful protesters injured a garda while trying to cause damage to a plane. This gives a new meaning to the word peaceful. Last week people here were saying criminal damage was ok because nobody was hurt. What have they got to say this week? The sooner they arrest the rest of the criminals down at Shannon the better. Are the protesters in Shannon the same incident peaceful protesters that caused the May Day Riot? If will funny to read all the excuses that will be posted here about what happened today. Because the protesters at Shannon, rts and the rest are never wrong. And I am sure there will be lots of people saying it’s the governments fault LETS HOPE THEY LOCK THESE SCUMBAGS UP read full story / add a comment

No shit there has been nothing posted about a YES vote on the Indymedia because it is over. And the people of Ireland have voted yes. Most of the people who visit this Indymedia site are anti nice and anti government etc (just selfish bastards). And aren’t getting enough attention in there everyday life so they need to come on here to get it. Grow up. I heard somebody say that RTE were giving unfair coverage to the YES campaign. But just look at this site, all you see is NO NO NO. People who are not anti government or anti nice do not visit this site it’s not Independent. IT all ways takes the view of the odd ball. Maybe coz it’s run by odd balls. Get over it the people have voted and they voted YES read full story / add a comment

Hello friends, Just wanted to notify ye as to the recent launch of www.forumireland.com At present the Nice Treaty is the subject of our case study. Fianna Fáil and the Green Party have submitted exclusive articles to represent each side of the vote. Will we ratify or reject Nice? Is it even constitutional to re run the same treaty that we already rejected? luke 'Ming' Flanagan, the well known cannabis legalisation campaigner, has also sublitted an article for our feature of the month. luke writes on Waste Management in Ireland and the alternatives he sees to incineration of waste? Friends of the Earth Ireland have also submitted an article entitled "Dont let big business run the World" You may also raise and debate any topic you think is not receiving enough attention in the nations media - Forum Ireland will only be as strong as the articles and debate it encourages. read full story / add a comment
