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.

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

Labour Youth says no to Rabbitte's election strategy

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday November 22, 2004 20:47author by Allen Report this post to the editors

Labour Youth has overwhelmingly rejected the party leader's electoral strategy.

At its annual conference in the Mansion House, Dublin, at the weekend, the majority of delegates backed a motion opposing any "rigid pre-electoral pact or voting arrangement" which would compromise the party's core values.

The vote is another indication of divergence on the preferred option of party leader Mr Pat Rabbitte of seeking a pre-election pact with Fine Gael.

Mr Rabbitte, who was in Waterford while the issue was debated but who addressed the conference on Saturday evening, said: "I'd have been very disappointed if the delegates didn't take a radical view. I accept that there can be two views and always have been about electoral strategy. It has been a perennial problem for Labour."

Before he addressed 100 Labour Youth members, Mr Rabbitte said there were at least 18 months to go to the election and "in the meantime I will lead as I have indicated".

He told the conference it was his objective to remove "this most unsocialist of governments" from office.

"To do that, I am convinced that we must present the Irish people with an alternative at the next general election and to have that Government returned to office. If we have two years left to that battle being joined, I hope in that time to persuade you of the merits of this strategy."

In the 1970s coalition may have been an issue, but "there really isn't any market for that" now and the party should not "take an each-way bet".

He also said he had had no meetings with Fine Gael since the Mullingar agreement and suggested it was better to go into election with a policy "finessed", rather than to wait until afterwards when there would be little time and too much pressure.

A Fine Gael spokesman said yesterday the vote was a matter for Labour Youth. "Pat Rabbitte has stated his strategy and he is the leader of the Labour Party."

The conference motion stated that Labour's progressive policies represented a "direct challenge to the neo-liberal policies of Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats" and it called on the party to play a leading role in opposing parties of the right at every level of Government.

The vote on an amendment from Mr Rabbitte's Dublin South West constituency was closer. It called for the party to rule out coalition with Fianna Fáil and the PDs and added that "while Labour Youth remains open to a Labour/FG vote-transfer pact, it is totally opposed to a Labour/FG pre-election policy pact".

It would fight the general election on an independent policy platform "in direct opposition to Fine Gael's policy agenda, where necessary".

The amendment's proposer said the party had three options - to seek coalition with Fianna Fáil, to seek coalition with Fine Gael or to tell them both to "get stuffed".

One speaker said Labour should fight the election as an independent party and then "we would see what we could get from those blueshirts, they are so bloodthirsty for power". Another said: "Unfortunately a huge majority are voting for right-wing parties" and "at some stage we will have to go in with them".
