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.

Kerry asylum seekers on hunger strike

"Feed the World! Make it a better place" Michael Jackson, Smart man!

Asylum seekers in Tralee, Co Kerry, are on hunger strike calling for better conditions and catering at the Johnson Marina centre. The company, which ruins the catering service, has denied the claims, saying that an eight-week ethnic food rota is in operation. Residents have issued a statement alleging racist treatment at the centre. Campbell Catering has confirmed that they asked for a member of staff to be replaced after an exchange of words between a resident and a security guard. The security is provided by a Cork based firm. A spokesperson for Campbell Catering says the security firm was informed of the incident and a staff member was subsequently removed before the end of his shift. Its understood he was re-deployed to another job. The company says it has received no official notification from residents regarding the hunger strike.

Why is Ireland accepting "Asylum" seekers? Everyone KNOWS that these scemes are nothing but SCAMS! In the US immigration attourneys encourage their clients to "exaggerate" their claims! What is the purpose of these programs; to empty out Africa , Eastern Europe & other areas of the world? You should take a lesson from the misstakes of the U.S.! Do you want Ireland to become like the USA?

Asylum seekers and refugees aren't where we need to worry about becoming too like the USA, we've have some of the worst habits already.

We share a number of the defining traits of modern America, amongst these conspicuous consumption and the cult of celebrity are prominent. We also share that sense of almost childlike wonder as global capitalism allows us to grow fat on the expoitation of the less fortunate.

Our methods for dealing with asylum seekers and immigrants couldn't be more different than the Americans. Whilst the American system uses immigrants as grist to the mill, we won't let people work, we won't let them live independently, we won't even let them cook their own food. We lock our guests up in shitty hostels in the middle of nowhere, then force them to eat Cambells Catering slop. At least when we have to eat such crap, we're at work being paid to do so.

This seeming difference is an indicator of just how much we are coming to share one of the least desirable of the American traits. When having to deal with something new, different or challenging, our all too frequent tendency is panicked reaction and then move quickly on to something else with little or no thought given to the issue, its causes or its consequences.

Just to sat to Thomas Francis Porter that I think you are doing some asylum seekers a grave injustice.
when your ancestors went to the US namy people there were saying exactly the same thing. Everyone knows the Irish Famine was just a scam.

Fair enough,but I wouldn't say the Irish were moaning about the standard of catering they got when they arrived!

We need to stop the influx of black people into our country, these people are stealing our wives and boyfriends. My wife is drooling over Andre shoukri already, the next thing I know my boyfriend, will run off with a black fella with bigger dick than mine. Please keep Ireland white, I left Britain to escape black people, because of my fear of blacks stealing my wife and boyfriends, only to find the problem spreading to Ireland.
