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.

Prof Roger Watson reports from an inquest, where despite evidence of myocarditis the coroner dismisses a role for the Covid vaccines and blames alcohol. Yet the deceased's blood alcohol levels were too low to cause death.

War on trial, ed horgan's case open today

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday April 03, 2003 11:43author by Eoin Dubsky - Refueling Peaceauthor email info at refuelingpeace dot orgauthor phone 087-6941060 Report this post to the editors

A High Court challenge to the use of Shannon airport by Iraq-bound US military aircraft will open this morning.

The action is being taken by retired army Commandant, Edward horgan, from Castletroy in County Limerick.

It is expected to last until the end of the present law term on 11 April and judgement is likely to be reserved.

Edward horgan is challenging the state's granting of landing rights at Shannon airport to US planes bound for Iraq.

His Senior Counsel, John Rogers, has said his case is that a neutral state has a duty under international law not to permit the movement of troops and munitions on its territory.

He will call a military witness who will testify that allowing over-flights and refuelling at Shannon by the US military constitutes participation by Ireland in war.

Mr horgan's case will rely on Article 29.3 of the Constitution.

The case will be heard by Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns.

The State and Government will be represented in the challenge and are expected to mount a strong defence.

Whatever the outcome, the case is likely to go on appeal to the Supreme Court.

It has already been indicated that a judgement in the High Court action is unlikely before the end of April.

An appeal to the Supreme Court would mean a final decision is unlikely for at least another month after that.

Beyond anything else this could be the most effective way of bringing real facts to the media on a large scale. The government will have to answer questions directly without avoidance. And surely this has the backing of the majority of Irish law professionals.

Take 'em down Ed.

Ireland isn't really neutral. It doesn't have the independent statepower to be truly neutral, as it has massive cultural and economic ties to other English-speaking countries. Whatever is said in public, in reality it is firmly sandwiched in the middle of the Anglo-American power block. Therefore, ultimately, it has to do the bidding of the US and the UK. The top echelons of the Irish government are perfectly aware of this and always act accordingly.

This is easy stuff, isn't it?

A real neutral state would not need such a court case to take place. Alas Ireland does.

Ed, wish you luck.

I've seen John Rogers in action on the TV, and he kicks ass.

peace
