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.

Shells friendly Judge caught expressing right wing racist views publicly...

category national | crime and justice | other press author Friday August 03, 2012 12:14author by lefty Report this post to the editors

Ooooops!...Judge Mary Devins, notorious judge in many cases against shell to sea activists, is finally seen for the right wing racist she is as she trips over her own bigoted remarks
devins.jpg

A piece in the independent about Notorious Judge Mary Devins which may be of interest to those following cases in belmullet court...

Apparently judge devins doesn't just hold people exercising their democratic right to protest the corporate takeover of our resources in contempt. Apparently she also holds foreign nationals and people on welfare in contempt too. Nice attitudes for a judge on a huge bloated salary paid by the hard work and taxes of citizens of many nationalities living in Ireland.

You've now shown your true colours and no fake public apology will extricate you from this particular faux pas Mrs Devins...

Quote:
A JUDGE was yesterday forced into a second apology after she described Ireland's social welfare system as a "Polish charity".

The Irish Polish Society accepted the apology but immigrants rights body, the Integration Centre, said District Court Judge Mary Devins still had a lot of questions to answer.

However, Killian Forde, chief executive of the Integration Centre, said it would not pursue a garda complaint into the judge's comments.

"Our concerns still stand. We have simply postponed any action," he said.

"Judge Devins said her initial comments were made about a separate case. She must elaborate on this case and she must also explain why she did not give the money to the Polish charity as laid out by the other judge."

The controversy arose following a case last Friday when Castlebar District Court questioned if there was a Polish charity in Ireland.

Context

Judge Devins remarked: "A Polish charity? There is. It's called the social welfare."

Earlier this week she tried to clarify her remarks.

But yesterday the judge was forced into giving an unreserved apology.

She said: "I unreservedly and without qualification apologise for my off-the-cuff comments at a recent court case. I understand and accept the hurt these comments caused to members of the Polish community.

"This was never my intention and I express my sorrow for same. My previous clarification was an attempt to provide a context and was not intended in any way to dilute my apology for such unwarranted comments."

Mr Forde said he believed Judge Devins remained compromised by the comments and questioned her ability to sit on any case involving a foreign national in future.

He added: "How can she sit on any case involving a foreigner? Any solicitor or barrister would be well within their rights to use this to have the case withdrawn.

"She has now become a judge who can only sit on cases for some of the population. What happens legally with the next foreign case she gets?"

Mr Forde is now calling for a complete reform of how judges are appointed.

she was having a good rant about slow drivers aswell,its speed that kills, someone should tell this racist alcoholic judge..she had a case before her where a guy was speeding and he said it was due to a slow driver ahead,and he felt he had to overtake in a dangerous position,then instead of cautioning the speeder she gets worked up and goes into a rant about slow drivers ffs..

the justice system in ireland is broken,in fact its never been right,and its judges like this that undermine the good work of the gardai siochana,(of what little we have of them in the first place ffs!),lenient foolish judges and foolish loud mouth ones who spout the mouth at the polish community,should not just get a slap on the wrist,they should get suspended from their job without their plush pay for however long it takes to sink in,that its no appropriate behavior for anyone especially judges in their position,we should expect more from them.

i have read in newspapers on countless occasions where judges get criminals off the hook ,or hand them down suspended sentences,when is this going to stop?

the function of judges in ireland seems to be undermining the gardai..
