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.

Govt to hand over documents relating to Shannon

Dubsky High Court trial success

From RTE news: The High Court has ordered the Government to hand over documents relating to its decisions to allow foreign military aircraft to overfly Irish airspace and to land and refuel at Irish airports.

From RTE news: The High Court has ordered the Government to hand over documents relating to its decisions to allow foreign military aircraft to overfly Irish airspace and to land and refuel at Irish airports.

Mr Justice McKechnie made the order in an action taken by student activist Eoin Dubsky, who is claiming that the permission is unconstitutional and amounts to paraticipation in war.

The judge ordered the government to discolose the documents within four weeks.

The government opposed the application, arguing that some decisions were 'not written' and that the documents sought were neither relevant to nor necessary for the action.

Mr Dubsky took the proceedings while on bail on charges relating to the damaging of a US military aircraft at Shannon airport.

Whooo hooooo Way to go,
Mind you, i'll wager this dont make it onto corporate controlled, pentagon friendly media over here. the same media that has been consistently reporting the rally in washington dc as 30,000 and NEVER reporting from an anti-war persepective. Be aware folks, the American giant is awakening. God speed the day and continue fighting the US government and it's immoral oil war.

What do people think of the fact that the judge has given the shower in power four weeks to get the documents. Does this mean that the landings and refuelings can still go on for the next four weeks - thats several thousand troops passing through for another month.
Well done to Eoin though for a good job done.

In reply to Shane's post (above), I can tell you that four weeks is the shortest turn-around time we could get from the court. The state need to account for every military overflight and stopover for which there is documentation - if they've kept proper records it could be quite a number.

In the mean time I think it is up to YOU to disrupt the military carry-on at Shannon Airport YOURSELVES. Don't wait to hear what the High Court thinks of all this.
