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.

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.

Women in Black - for justice, against war

Fellow women, you are cordially invited to a Women in Black anti-war commemoration vigil on Saturday 3rd December at 6pm in Cork city.

As a group of women we will gather at the Peace Garden on South Mall at the junction of Grand Parade in Cork to remember and reflect on the injustice of past and present wars and conflicts. We will also stand in solidarity against any further attempts by governments to engage in future war and conflicts.

PLEASE WEAR BLACK.

Women in Black is a world-wide network of women committed to peace with justice and actively opposed to injustice, war, miiltarism and other forms of violence. As women experiencing these things in different ways in different regions of the world, we support each other's movements and bear witness. An important focus is challenging the militarist policies of our governments.  We are not an organisation, but an organic grassroots means of communicating and a formula for action.

Ray: 085 8370692

Kristi: 085 7818160

the 'garden' you are referring to on the south mall is in fact not  a peace garden but a monument to imperialism
celebrating the deaths of ordinary working people on the battlefields of europe for the british murder machine.
it is a disgrace that it is still standing.

'As women experiencing these things in different ways in different regions of the world'
woman are not the only ones suffering in the world,why not engage in something practical and a little less vague why not support republicans outside the british embassy on saturday coming, prisoners in maghaberry  are resisting
torture,beatings, strip searches everyday

May I take this opportunity to respond.   I understand your concern but in the first instance  I want to highlight that my stance against war includes me  also being an anti-imperalist  as I have joined the dots between imperalism and war. For the record I have highlighted British injustice too.    For instance the arms fair in London.  The war against Iraq etc etc.  This event was to commemorate globally all  people who have died and  have been effected by war and conflicts.  Yes men suffer too by war as you rightly state and especially so by the socialisation that maleness includes masculine traits such as aggression and violence which enable men to be soldiers.  It is with regret that I don't have a photo of the event to show that we had placards detailing innumerable  conflicts such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Rwanda, Congo, Hiroshima etc etc.  and at the garden there is the commeration to Hiroshima and Nagaski.    Nowadays we face a neo-liberal colonalisation and currently we have to look at the dark clouds gathering  towards Iran and we need to look and learn because at the end of the day elites create the war and men die, women cry, women die and men cry and Women in Black attempts albeit in a small way by using black as a form of the symbolisation  of mourning  to bear witness to death, disintegration and destruction.  It is my opinion that  divisions between us 'the people' the people who make up the 99% is a means which creates the opportunity for further injustice.

I do thank you for your comment though and do wish you all the best.

Ray NicFhionnlaigh.
