UCC has paid huge sums to a criminal professor

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.

Lonny party announces election candiate

category dublin | politics / elections | press release author Wednesday March 28, 2007 16:14author by bigchiefrandomchaos - irish monster raving loony partyauthor email loony at politicalfreak dot comauthor phone 0863044686 Report this post to the editors

Hey, my Name is Big Chief Random Chaos aka Paul Craig and I would like to announce that I will be standing as a candidate in the up coming general election on behalf of the Irish Monster Raving Loony Party. And while this party doesnt exactly exist in reality ( yet), it exists in the mind of 10's of 1000's of people living in Ireland, 100's of dogs and 2 chickens living in Mayo, they just dont know it yet

I will be running in the Dublin South East constituency.

Why Dublin South East? Because thats where Michael McDowell (McDool) does be, and I might aswell try and put a smile on his face...an impossible task..but hey ya got to have a challenge.

Why am I running?

Because I want to move to Leinster house to see how the crazy people live.

Who is Big Chief Random Chaos?

Some know me as Chief, some know me as that freak, that wierdo.
Some know me as that guy dancing in - euh what is that stuff.
Some know me as Paul and one even knows me as Dad.
Im a lucky loony and I want to give something back

I believe that we should be able to vote by text a member of the Dail as the 'Slimy One of the Week' The slimy on shall be made stand outside Leinster house, wearing a Pinnochio-like nose where passersby can laugh and shout things like 'YOU - You know what you did withe your crazy glasses and nazi salutes'.

I believe that we should be paid for our waste. Waste in this country is big business and we freely hand over items such as tin, paper and glass - items that have a value and we should get a part of it. People living on the steets could collect Tin and paper and bring them to specially constructed bring banks throught the city and exchange them for cold hard cash

And on the subject of lost waste, you know the way methane is an energy source, I believe that we should have F.A.R.T. Banks (Flatualent Air Retrevieval Tanks). Places where we can utilise our normaly wasted personal gases. We could even put a special on at the base of the spire which could fuel a giant flame out of the top. And nobody can argue with this one fact: we will have them created one of the most unique and remarkable tourist attractions the world, yes the world, has yet seen.

As the OMRLPI is the party party we want 24 hour pub and nightclub licencing. Letting drunken nutters out on the streeets at the same time is exactly how it sounds - nuts. And besides sometimes I just want to dance and dance and dance - and then dance some more.

I believe we should lower the voting age down to the age where we can first draw an X and count to ten. Its time we listened to children and besides something interesting might happen
