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

offsite link China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
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.

MIJAG hits the election trail!

Latest news email from MIJAG

Friends

Campaign mail goes to the 3,524 names now registered on the e-mail Address
book. Please forward MIJAG mail to Friends and Work-mates and print out hard
copies to post up on Notice Boards.

The Main National Priority of the Campaign is the Election Campaign in
Dublin Mid-West and our Candidate David Green. David registered 4% in the
opinion polls 3 weeks after the idea was first mentioned in public. Clearly
David can do well in this Election and there is a responsibility on all of
us to get stuck in to his Election Campaign.

25,000 Leaflets/Car Window Posters are being printed on Friday. A copy will
be posted on the Web site. Campaign supporters are been asked to meet up
outside McDonalds at the Mill Shopping Centre in Clondalkin at 6pm ever
Saturday, starting this week. Ciaran Kennedy the Campaign Secretary will
have routes into estates prepared for people to follow with the Election
Leaflet. Everyone is due to meet back at the Mill Centre at 8.30 to go
around ten or so pubs with the same material. If this is repeated every week
during February and March it will raise the profile of our candidate locally
and make him a real force in this Election. A meeting with Local Politicians
invited (Including Mary Harney) is being organised.

The Cork Campaign have a Car Protest Organised for this Saturday 9th. The
Protest will leave from the Lee Fields at 2pm.

The Tipperary Campaign have a Public meeting with Politicians organised in
Ahern's Hotel, Clonmel for 8pm on Monday 25th of February.

If you sent a pledge we would like you to now sent the money by Cheque,

Bank of Ireland, Tallaght. Account Number 36150764, sort code 90-13-43.

RTE's Prime Time are due to do a program on the Issue this Thursday 7th.
While the researchers involved have got lots of information from MIJAG on
the details of Car Insurance issue they seem intent on getting all the
people that have been a big part of this problem to form a panel without a
chance for us to really confront them. They are talking about having
representatives of the Irish Insurance Federation, The Law Society and Noel
Tracey the Minister responsible. All the indications to date are that this
bunch of people have been falling over each other to fight to maintain the
status quo. It will be interesting to see if RTE can really pull them up on
the issue.

Regards
Mick Murphy (National Organiser)

How can you cycle to work if you are forced to live in Carlow due to the land speculators and their friends in the councils?
What if you are elderly or disabled?

Cycling to work its a good idea but is not practicle for everyone, we need a properly planned and fully integrated public transport system, but until then some people do need cars.

Ah HA HA ha, you really amuse me

>What if you are elderly?

if you're elderly you GET cheap insurance.

>we need a properly planned and fully integrated public transport system

which MIJAGuar does not campaign for.


even a moped would be better, using a 10th of the petrol, reducing traffic congestion and its cheaper insurance. But, of course, young men need a fancy car to pick up women right?

You havn't replied about what you think should be done for those that are forced to live far away from their place of work due to house prices. Do you expect someone to cycle from somewhere like Carlow to Dublin?
There is no properly funded and planned public transport system
There are people forced to live far from theri workplaces
So in the meantime people do need cars.

If you had read the MIJAG website you will find that MIJAG do campaign for a better public transport system as well as for safe driving campaigns.
