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

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.

[dublin] National Demonstration For Palestine: Stop Gaza Genocide!

NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION FOR PALESTINE: STOP GAZA GENOCIDE!

At the time of writing, Apartheid Israel has cut off all aid, water and power to over million people trapped in the Gaza Strip. It has engaged in widespread and indiscriminate bombing, killing almost 3,500 people, one third of them children. Civilian infrastructure has been decimated; homes, offices, hospitals, schools and universities have all been targeted, as have medics and journalists. One million people have been displaced. The health system is on the brink of collapse.

And now an Israeli ground invasion is imminent.

We in the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign do not use this word lightly – but we concur with experts that there is the very real possibility of a genocide taking place if the world does not act to stop it.

This is a truly horrifying prospect, and in 2023 should be simply unacceptable.

Join us to demand that the Irish government acts now, with the utmost urgency. Palestinian lives depend on it.

The Irish government must urgently use its voice and influence, especially at the EU level, to call for:

• An immediate ceasefire, including an end to all Israeli bombing and the illegal displacement of civilians;

• An ending of the illegal Siege of Gaza, including urgently allowing humanitarian aid in, and the immediate restoration of water and power by Israel;

• Action by the UN for the protection for Palestinians in Gaza;

• Recognising that Israel’s system of Apartheid enforced upon the Palestinian people underpins all violence in the region, and that an end to violence requires an end to this regime of Apartheid. This is the only way to address the root of the crisis.

Furthermore, there are concrete actions that the Irish government can take unilaterally, right now:

• Implement the Occupied Territories Bill, which has been blocked since 2020;

• Implement the Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill;

• Listen to Palestinian civil society, major human rights organisations, and UN Special Rapporteurs and publicly recognise that Israel is committing the Crime of Apartheid against the Palestinian people.

Ireland, and the international community, must act now.

At a time when the international community should be mobilising to prevent another Nakba, failure to do so is to abandon Palestinians and would be simply unconscionable.

Please bring friends, family, Palestinian flags, banners, noise. While party banners are welcome, would ask that you do not bring party-political flags (Irish, Palestinian or others).
