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 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.

Student say Yes to Lisbon... apparently

category national | eu | other press author Saturday April 25, 2009 13:45author by Conor. M Report this post to the editors

According to 'Generation Yes', who sported their t-shirts with the boys wearing a blue top with ''Yes, Yes, Yes'' and the girls wearing pink saying ''I only Kiss boys who say Yes'', say the ''EU is Ireland's best friend''.

According to 'Generation Yes', who sported their t-shirts with the boys wearing a blue top with ''Yes, Yes, Yes'' and the girls wearing pink saying ''I only Kiss boys who say Yes'', say the ''EU is Ireland's best friend''.

First and foremost, the group is ''grassroots'' and is ''Independent''. But they fail to mention the campaign director is Andrew Byrne, a former Trinity College students’ union president. He is now a member of the Green Party. Hazel Nolan a UCC student and a member of the Labour Party, was involved with the Alliance for Europe in last year’s campaign. Doesn't sound too independent to me.

Anyway, I looked at their website and it is pure garbage. Its disgusting and offending to think there are students out there with this attitude. If you want to get in touch with the propagandists or read their rhetoric, heres the link...

Disgusting and offending? Em, why? Because they have a different opinion to you? I don't really see why you can be disgusted or offended by the content of the website, sure, you can disagree on political grounds, but it's hardly the most kneejerk, in your face partisan of websites, is it now?

That's a great website.

I've changed my mind.

I will certainly vote YES to Lisbon next time.

New pro-lisbon group armed and ready for university campaign
The no side must be ready to counter this very well funded and very well prepared outfit that will blitz universities in September with pro-Lisbon propaganda. We need our own youth wing in response
Having attended their presentation in guess where - IBEC Headquarters - to ask a few awkward questions i have to say i was blown away with their preparedness. These guys mean serious business. They have already raised a tidy 20,000 quid and expect to raise a spanking 150,000 quid. Hell of a lot for a bunch of students but not when you remember where the meeting took place.
But forewarned is forearmed. We need to organise in preparation for fresher's week in all the universities to get the no message out there and to counter their misleading claims about the treaty.
The yes side are going all out for victory and we will have to match them every step of the way.

Its no good. People are like sheep. With the level of fear and loathing thats going around these days people are just going to vote Yes out of fear of the recession. The No side cannot counter the panic factor that the recession has brought about. Everyone I have spoken to who voted No last time is voting Yes this time because they think it will make the recession worse if they vote No again.

Im afraid thats what we're up against this time.
