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.

Public Meeting in Ballinteer on Property Tax

category dublin | bin tax / household tax / water tax | event notice author Sunday March 17, 2013 23:21author by CAHWT Report this post to the editors

This meeting will provide an opportunity for residents to discuss the Property Tax, to get information on the details of this unjust tax, and the boycott.

Speaker Cllr. Bríd SMith.

This meeting will take place in Ballinteer Community School and begins at 8pm.


Resist The Property Tax
Can you afford another annual bill of over €400??

In the coming weeks the Revenue Commissioners will write to all households with a bill for the new Property Tax. This tax has been set at 0.18% of the value of the home up to €1 million, after which a rate of 0.25% applies. This mean that if your home is worth €250,000 you will be expected to pay €405, for a €300,000 home, €495 and so on.

This tax is grossly unfair. It takes no account of the ability to pay. So a pensioner living in a house worth €500,000 with an income of €12,000 will still be expected to pay €855 every year! Yet again, the burden falls on ordinary people while the richest 36,000 woho own wealth of approx. €130 bullion remain virtually untouched. It should be called The Bank Bail Out Tax. Coming after years of austerity budgets and wage cuts, this is a tax that huge numbers of people simply cannot afford to pay.

Fight The Property Tax. You can't afford not to.

We do not have to accept this. The government can be beaten. While the Revenue Commissioners have been given draconian powers to enforce it -including the ability to deduct it directly from wages and social welfare -a massive campaign of people power can force the government to scrap their plans.

Boycott this tax and help build a campaign of protest and civil disobedience that will create a political crisis for governement. We need our unions to act and support workers who refuse to co-operate with the implementation of this unjust tax.


Attention All Council Tenants
Do you know that the government and the council want to charge council tenants for The Property Tax

When the Property Tax was announced in December Minister Phil Hogan said that councils would be charged the tax for all the houses they own.

The full details of how much this will be and how it will be charged have yet to be revealed but it seems absolutely clear that the council will try to push this hefty bill from the Department onto their tenants.

This makes a mockery of the idea that the tax is a Property Tax -if it is now going to be lumped onto council tenants who do not own their property. It also makes a mockery out of the idea that this is a tax to help secure funding for local services. How can you say you are in favour of a solid revenue stream for local services and then send the council a hefy bill -which could be as much as three quarters of a million in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown

This tax should be called what is is -a Bank Bail Out Tax and we need to resist this tax in every way possible.

A Campaign is being built across the country. Get involved by coming to the meeting advertised above. This is your chance to question your local TDs directly on this issue. The meeting will plan a campaign of local and rational protests. Come along, join in the discussion and help the Campaign
