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.

Election 2007

category national | politics / elections | opinion/analysis author Sunday April 29, 2007 16:49author by Poodle Report this post to the editors

I would appreciate the sarcasm if I were you

The best speech in the house of eunuchs, otherwise known as the Dail
was that given by Joe Higgins who alluded to the Poodles pissing against the
lamp-posts in Dublin 6W upon which Minister Mc Dowell was hanging his
posters.

So we are into another election. therefore we can rest and enjoy the party.
it is the only time when the TD's get down and dirty with the voters to justify
a few more years lining the pockets and briefcases of their nearest and dearest.
Pissing Poodles
Pissing Poodles

The Government collapsed on June the second of last year and what an unprincpled
crowd of ne'er do wells who abused the mandate they were.

First Prize to Enda Kenny- He was undemocratically elected to the head of FG,
he has not impeded one of Minister's Mc Dowell's pieces of legislation through
the Dail in the last Three years.

Second Prize to Bertie Ahern who spent more time outside Kildare street than inside
Dail Eireann. Spent a fortune on his 1916 fetish and ignored the Privatisation policies
of the PD's who have through Health and Justice brought Thatcherism to Ireland and
of course let us all know that their greasy pals will make money out of you(alive or
dead).

Third Prize to Mickey Mc Dowell;- Who nearly got away with a coup d'etat last year
and has proven that with 1-3% of the National vote you can be corrupt and rule the
world. he will not be missed. He better not get back in.

Pat Rabbitte does not count- he mentioned 'National health service' last week.
Took him long enough to realise that people do not want universal insurance
and private care.

And these are the last words on the hay -ride of baby kissing, cock sucking,
plagiarism and unprincipled thievery I will write about this shite.

Vote if you must but whomever leads needs a strong left to keep the shaggers
in line for a few years until the Rainbow nose dives or people get sick of the lies
and liars that habitate without principal- the hallowed corridors of power.

Many people fought for the right to a vote.
