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.

The BBC's Director of Comedy wants to "save the sitcom". But the sitcom is only endangered because most of them stopped being funny. As To the Manor Born reminds us, British comedy has lost its class, says Finlay McLaren.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

No halting site of campus!

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday April 11, 2003 10:39author by Max Dempsey - UCD Pro Lib Soc Report this post to the editors

UCD Pro Liberation Society calls for the dropping of all plans by the county council to put a halting site on Belfield campus.

We oppose the proposed site for the following reasons, we will also launch a campaign to oppose this site.

It is out of keeping with the socio economic makeup of the surrounding area.

Money should be spent on extra services on campus for student not for travelors who will probably never go to UCD.

The possible increase in petty crime around campus. Already there are high levels of bike theft.

Eoin O'M is sowing illusions in the bourgeois National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism! The only way racism can be faught is by working class uniting in a fight against racism and for a workers revolution!

The Irish State is a clerical and anti-traveller state!
No to illusions in bourgeois democracy!
For a workers revolution!

You are probably just a dickhead trying to get a rise out of lefties and get a bit of attention for yourself by this posing. But if you are serious and are intent on creating a far-right blueshirt movement, there are a fair few people who will take this very seriously indeed. Indeed even if you aren't serious, you can't guarantee that you won't be misinterpreted. You are playing with fire.

nice one Eoin.
I think they kind of do exist but are blatently not the sharpest tools in the box, (no halting site of campus??). Their reasons for supporting the war were ludicrous, revenge of Sept 11th and other such idiotic things.
I dont think they are much to worry about. A few posters is the most harm they do.

I have passed your comments to the National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism. I have no doubt, they will be in touch.

"out of keeping with the socioeconomic makeup of the area"

The following are involved in this spoof group:
1. John Harvey
2. That red headed freak from LawSoc
3. That other creepy guy that is in FF, Brian O'Farrell I think his name is.
4. an assortment of othe other right-wingers in FF and FG

I cant wait untill the next editions of the college papers where these guys will be exposed to over 20,000 students. John Harvey you are so pathetic!

I wonder if this is a spoof? If not it seems the 'pro-liberation society' are only for the liberation of some. Not much of a surprise there but it reveals that behind the spin of their name its the same old blueshirt politics.

For international readers, Irish Travellers are an oppressed ethnic group here who are traditionally nomads (although many have now 'settled'). They are subject to all sorts of racist crap here, including attempts as above to limit where they can live and to impose quotas on how many can live in particular areas. This by the way is in relation to 'legal' places for them to live, if they try and stop in traditional areas they have to move on within 24 hours or have their propety confiscated.
