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 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.

Séan Heuston 1916 society Dublin June statement

Séan Heuston 1916 society Dublin June statement

It has been nearly two months since the establishment of the Dublin branch of the 1916 societies. And it was with a great sense of admiration we decided to name Dublins first society after executed 1916 rising leader Séan Hueston. We in the society aspire to follow the legacy of our fallen patron, and reinstill core republican values and principles back into the hearts and minds of working class communities across the city and county, values that are solely needed in these harsh times to rejuvenate the downtrodden Irish people into fighting for their absolute and complete national and economic sovereignty.
It is through education in the lessons of republican history, commemoration of our republican fallen and promotion of the ideals of our republican dead that we intend to reinvigorate the spirit of resistance in the Irish people. Our membership drawn mainly from working class backgrounds are committed to bringing such ideals to our communities in the hope that they empower them to challenge the status quo, which has demoralised and laid waste to once proud and unified neighbourhoods.

State sponsored revisionisim, the gross air brushing of Irish history has become unpalatable, it is not uncommon in Dublin today to walk down the street and be scorned for proudly displaying an Easter Lily, a symbolic display of remembrance of the 1916 risigng, yet be congradulated for wearing a Poppy, the symbol associated with the British empire and crown forces, the same crown forces which continue to occupy six Irish counties.
This is a prime example of how far the 'normalisation' agenda has evolved, a notion propagated from all angles of the establishment, that the national question has been answered, the notion that British rule is here to stay and that the centuries old desire to resist occupation is no more.
Those who supposedly represent the interests of republicans while fully embracing the constitutional institutions of partition both sides of the British imposed have proven to be rudderless in their half hearted proposal being promoted as a means to ending British rule, a 'border poll', a sectarian headcount conducted within the occupied six counties that even if it results in favour of ending partition can be overturned by the British appointed secetary of state who has the power to veto and rule against people's wishes, proving such a proposal is a fallacy.
Our societies alternative is simple. One Ireland, One vote, which allow all citizens of this island a referendum to democratically vote on the issue of Irish Unity and for the outcome to be respected and followed through, a stepping stone toward the Socialist Republic proclaimed in 1916.

Over the next next two months the society will be carrying out a fundraising efforts to aid us in forwarding our goals.
It will begin on Sunday the 30th, with our society will be undertaking a symbolic sponsored walk beginning from the resting place of many of our patriot dead Glasnevin Cemmetay proceeding to Arbour Hill Easter Rsising memorial, where a small speech on the life of Séan Hueston and the legacy of the rising will be read out followed by a wreath laying.

On July 12th, we will be holding a public lecture in the Abbey Hotel on Middle Abbey Street, the speakers include veteran republican, former republican POW/hunger striker and political commentator Tommy McKearney on the Easter Rising of 1916 and prominant republican and historian Margaret O'Neill on the women of the 1913 lockout.
The lecture begins at 7.30 and is open to the public at no charge.

The lecture will be proceeded by the Séan Heuston 1916 society Dublin launch night, also in the Abbey Hotel, where entertainment will be provided by leading rebel band Erin Go Bragh supported by Portadown Republican Flute Band Pride of Eireann, tickets for entry are a mere 5 euro, with a raffle taking place on the night with POW craft up for grabs.

On the 10th of August, the society will be hosting a Celtic V Liverpool pre game party while both teams play that night in Dublin, again music will be provided by Erin Go Bragh with Pride of Eireann RFB supporting, tickets only 5 euro with craft again up for grabs on the night.

All are welcome to all events, money can be paid at door for launch night and pre match party but tickets are available and we advise you purchase them to facilitate entry to avoid disappointment. This can be done be contacting us on our Séan Heuston 1916 society Dublin Facebook page or by email at Dublin1916society@gmail.com.

We hope you support us in our endeavours.
