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.

International Anti-Racism Protest @ Dept.of Justice 22/3

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday March 07, 2003 03:34author by Jon. G - Residents Against Racismauthor email issues at eircom dot netauthor phone 087 666 2060 Report this post to the editors

A demonstration by Residents Against Racism will be held at 1pm at the Department of Justice, Stephens Green. This is a call for support......


Who amongst us does not know of at least one racist attack in our local area....

Attacks like these will continue to occur until the day comes that we say enough is enough.

In this period of Governmental/Tabloid hysteria it's time to reflect on the real issues that warzones or oppression create. War and oppression causes displacement of civilians be that in Yugoslavia, Ethiopia, Nigeria or Iraq. The real victims of war or oppression are always the displaced victims who have no home to return to.

Residents Against Racism are organising a protest outside the Dept. of Justice in solidarity with those who have chosen to settle in Ireland for whatever reason they choose. Unfortunately a lot of these migrants face day to day racial abuse just because they differ somewhat than this islands inhabitants.

We call this demonstration in solidarity with all those who are facing Deportation orders or are at risk of the same. In the last week our so called Government has unleashed an aggressive attack on those who have chose to settle here. Over 300 deportation orders have been issued by the Dept of Justice in the last week contrary to European Laws on migrants.

As such in this International Week against Racism we call upon all interested parties to support us in this demonstration and make it as big as possible.

I believe that it is only in demonstrating our solidarity against racism that we can send a message to those who wish to oppress us all.Under the umbrella of Residents against Racism I encourage all to attend regardless of political persuasion.

This is not a party political issue I welcome all those who are opposed to racism or such like to affiliate to this protest and look forward to your contribution.

If you have any suggestions as to how to make this as large as possible please contact us or contribute to this thread....

The message must resound...All are welcome here..

cead mile failte....

Look, if there's no evidence that they will be tortured or killed in their own country then we have no obligation to keep them. No other country does, why should Ireland?

It is comments like this that fan the flames of racism in this country. Irish people should know better than most of the effects of racism.
Who in this country has not themselves or know of one of their family had to work abroad for economic reasons - should the dispora of 140 million Irish be spent back here?
There are more Irish people working in Nigeria than there are Nigerians in this country - should they all swop places?

Its about time that the residents of this country stood up against racism.
I for one willbe attending this demo and I will be contacting my TD and local councillors to attend.

Irish people get sent home from the States all the time. What's the big deal? Every country controls it's intake of immigrants, it's what managing an economy is all about.
Where did you see a racist statement in my last post?

Whats it to you, shoenin? You live in London, not Ireland.

author by Seaninpublication date Sat Mar 08, 2003 05:03author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Well exactly.
I'm an immigrant, but not in the sense of a non EU person.
Deporting non-EU people is not racist, every country does it.
Australians can't stay in Ireland longer than a few years. Is that racist?

If it was a case of sending someone home to face a death sentence I would be concerend, but I don't think there are any cases like that at the moment.

As a Jew, I have suffered anti-Semitic abuse on this site a number of times. My question is: does anti-racism also apply to bad treatment of Jews because they are Jews? Or are Jews a special case who deserve bad treatment?

Actually Avi, being a critic of successive Zionist war crimes is not at all anti semitic. It called being humane. BTW hope you are not trying to establish a "settlement" here.

Des, the ethnic taunt contained in your comment demonstrates that you are a racist bigot.

author by Despublication date Sat Mar 08, 2003 23:20author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Actually you cretin, my political views are very much left of centre and I abhor all forms of racism including anti Semitism. I also abhor war criminals like your boss fat man Sharon. You on the other hand are one of his supporters. Your attempts to defend the indefensible are so ludicrous that if the Israeli embassy are paying you, you should in conscience apply for your P45. BTW have you heard of fat man’s latest ethnic cleansing episode (the Bedouin in the Negev,) now unlike yours truly, fat man definitely is a racist bigot and you support him, I am sure that even using your twisted logic, you will eventually be able to work out the rest for yourself.
