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.

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.

Sinn Fein & SWSS Disciplined Over Protest

category dublin | anti-capitalism | news report author Tuesday February 10, 2004 17:31author by Jon Swift Report this post to the editors

The SF and Socialist Worker Student Societies have been disciplined over their protest against Bertie Ahern.

The SF and Socialist Worker Student Societies have been disciplined over their protest against Bertie Ahern. This protest took place when Bertie addressed the Historical Society on 28 January. Rory Hearne of SWSS and Ciaran Doherty of SF were called before the dreaded Junior Dean Brendan Tangey. Tangey stated to Trinity News " the relevant parties did not aplly for permission to hold a protest or use a loudhailer".

College regulations rquire two weeks advance notice before holding any event including protests! While TCD Labour fully supported and participated in the protest they so far have not been dragged before his Lordship Tangey. This may be because Labour were not on the leaflet calling the event. Ciaran Doherty told TN: "SF & SWSS produced a leaflet before Labour became involved".

The purpose of the protest was to highlight cutbacks in the third level education sector. However the SWSS came under criticism for turning what was agreed as an anti cutbacks protest into an anti war demo.

Rory Hearn of SWSS caleed the SUs failure to miunt a demonstration : "a disgrace". According to Trinity News Rory Hearn was seen to lunge at the Taoiseach before being restrained by Gardai. In a joint letter TCD SF, LP and SWSS have condemned the Gardai for assaulting peaceful protesters. According to the letter: "The Iron Gate used to close off the Nassau Street entrance to College at night was used as a battering ram to drive protesters back".

There are no reports of any of the other political groups in the College supporting this protest.

A protest that doesn't get its permission slip or whatever gets a "nominal fine and (has to send) a letter of apology from the offending parties," a quote from the Trinity News.

Rory Hearne also says it was a last minute protest and only done cos the Student Union did nothing.

The SU gave the taoiseach a petition with 1000 signatures, which i'm sure sent him home crying and planning his retirement from dirty politics. I was trying to be objective, but i think the SU have been awfully quiet about cutbacks and stuff this year, and i look forward to a new load of sabbatical officers.

It doesn't really say how these groups are disciplined. Did they get a fine? Did they get their budget dropped? Did they loose the right to books rooms in Trinity?

What happened to them other than a meeting with the "Dean"?

"College regulations rquire two weeks advance notice before holding any event including protests!"

Surely this is going against democracy & freedom??

Sounds like this deserves another protest! : )

Where was the great Shane and his fellow rottweillers? Dont say they have missed another protest. I thought they would be more vigilant after the Ni Chonnail debacle. The SPuppy Master will give Shane a stern talking to.

I will bet some anarchists took part in the protest even if they were non aligned ones.

However the article did mention TCD, this in conjunction with "Trinity" would have given the game away to most readers. The SWSS are given their full title in the first sentence. While I have commented, this is my first attempt at an article on this august site. I do not want to seem to be a Yahoo so I promise to be more careful in future.

given the mention of TCD news and the fact that Rory Hearne is a student there. But the general point stands: if this report is being written with the intention of being read by anyone other than people that already know about it then some basic information like:
1. what college
2. who is the SWSS
3. what is "Trinity News"
etc would be nice.

Oh boy some students are so self absorbed they don't realise there is life outside the goldfish bowl
