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.

Public Meeting: Dublin & Monaghan Bombings

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Saturday June 04, 2005 17:41author by Shane Holden - Ógraauthor email ogra at ireland dot comauthor phone 086 8474869 Report this post to the editors

Featured Speakers: Sen Martin Mansergh & Joe Tiernan

Dún Laoghaire Ógra Fianna Fáil will be hosting a public meeting regarding the Dublin and Monaghan Bombings, entitled 'Justice for the Forgotten?'.

Speakers at the event are Senator Martin Mansergh and journalist Mr. Joe Tiernan, author of the controversial book 'The Dublin and Monaghan Bombings and the Murder Triangle'.

Speaking ahead of the meeting, Dún Laoghaire Ógra secretary Shane Holden stressed that "this event shall help revive awareness of the Dublin and Monaghan Bombings amongst the general public, and in turn aid the cause of those searching for justice for their loved ones who lost their lives due to the deplorable terrorist acts that took place on the 1st December 1972, 20th January 1973 and 17th May 1974 in this state.”

Ógra Chairperson Jennifer Allen added "We feel that this is a very topical issue at present and we wanted to give local people the opportunity to hear these expert speakers' views about the issue. This is one in a series of public meetings that Dún Laoghaire Ógra Fianna Fáil intends to hold in the coming months, and it is fitting that an important subject such as this be the first in that series".

The event shall take place in the Kingston Hotel, Dún Laoghaire on the 8th of June, with the meeting scheduled to commence at 8.30pm. With speakers of the calibre of Senator Martin Mansergh and Joe Tiernan it looks set to be an educational and interesting night. A 'questions and answers' session with the speakers shall also take place that night as to allow for greater audience participation in the discussions.

the Garda files only went missing 2 years ago . I hope 2 jaysus u arent wearing nappies under that manly uniform .

For the record ( and ive stated elsewhere) I respect the fact the fact that youre one of the few posters here whove ever withdrawn or apologised for a hasty comment . And u seem to be prepared to revise a previously held opinion given the facts and I respect that also

But id dearly love to hear your opinion on those recently missing files and whose responsible for it . Its concealing evidence of a major criminal act - mass murder .

to ask permission of anyone to protest in Ireland Al.

Isnt that what I did? I named 3 I could also name Dublin general bye-laws, Phoenix Park bye laws.
If you wanted to stretch the point you could use the Criminal justice (Terrorist Offences) Bill 2005. But that would depend on the protest actually taking place.

Quote one law that says you need to have/seek garda permission to protest in ireland. Go on ya good thing - prove your knowledge of the law. Prove you're fit to police. It's all online - go dig it out for us. I certainly don't like the thought of my kids growing up under a garda force that seem to think citizens need their permission to protest. I teach 3rd level up the wee north among other places - finished now save for marking - I have been taking little breaks between every 5 essays for last few days to wind you up and alert others to what I consider your dubious ongoing distracting flak generating role here. I do get paid to write on here - in laughs and a free eye opening education in the seamier side of life as it is lived in our little bananna republic :-)

Eeeek,
So no laws have been passed since the constitution? Do a more complete search next time. Try the Criminal justice (Public order) Act 1994, the Offences against the state Act 1939, the Road traffic Act 1961-2002. I could go on but I wont. Let you prove me wrong.
BTW, you being a teacher is a scary scary thought. no school on Tuesdays? What school do you teach in? I will make sure not to send my kid there. Your not a teacher, you get paid to post on this site.

Illegal,
Comments were made about me, I responded. can I not do that? look at my first post on the subject. I stated I was going to go because I am interested. As for the files, how the hell should I know? I was in nappies when Dublin was bombed.

"No you never called me on lieing. prove anything you fool."

I used the search for this unique spelling of 'lying' - first thing I came across:

"In order to legally demonstrate in Ireland you must notify the authorities that you intend to do it."
by Al Thursday, May 26 2005, 12:32pm

A big fat Lie. Check the constitution Al if you don't take my word for it.

You referred in your comment to the poster above - the poster above your comment was jihad/barry.

"do you get paid to post here?"
Nope

"As for PC plod, what do you do for a living?"
I teach.

I do not care all that much for the sniping between Al, Barry, and eeekkk. It is a distraction from the real issue here. Seems to me that is Al's intention. He should not be allowed to divert this thread away from the fact that the Gardai have questions to answer.
So where are the files, Al?

No you never called me on lieing. prove anything you fool.
your a freak because you commented on the book shop (no mention of being searched)

I commented that no one searched you.

You then ask me how I know.

I answer because you said so.

Loook Eeeeek, you made the comment. If your brain is incapable of remember YOUR Own comments after 24 hours thats not my fault.

Now to Jihad and Barry, I saw the similar posting methods, Barry and I discussed membership and then jihad comments about it. Not hard to put two and two together.
Very simple in fact. I simple did it by asking if they were the same, you make comments without any proof and stick to them. Once more for the idiot I DO NOT GET PAID TO POST ON THIS SITE. the same site that you post on, do you get paid to post here?
As for PC plod, what do you do for a living? At least im honest.

I'm a 'bloody freak' al?

Cos I call you on lies?

Because I don't accept that a 'pc plod' is hanging round here all day every day for the stimulating conversation?

Eeeeek,
It was you you bloody freak that said it was the guy from the shop.

As for Barry/Jihad, I was right, they were the same. Nothing sinister about my guess, I simple saw the similiarity in the posters.

Barry,
Its simple. I dont believe you. can you prve me wrong? No. Can I prove you wrong? No. Stalemate, now seeing as I apologised for my comments previously how about moving on?

Very sorry about that confusing post . I was reading something which was talking about Jihads and stuff , and having a few beers too and made a boo boo . I actually e mailed Indymedia asking them to change the name but they must have been havin a few scoops too .

Funny though that Al refuses to accept a point he doesnt agree with because he says theres not enough reliable evidence but can accuse someone of membership of an illegal organisation because of their opinion ( or his opinion)?

but thats because you dont need evidence to convict on that one . Any way jihad was said by mistake, the false name i gave at Easter during the ritual drugs rummaging wasnt a mistake .

Mentioned nothing about being either being searched or arrested - yet you assure us

'"Note: No one searched the poster above or arrested him."

Very strange comment to make and that's saying something around here.

Jihad - have you ever been searched or arrested?

How do YOU know Al?

Are you looking at data for the site posters? Can you connect the pseudonym to a real identity?

If you can you are a malignant presence here and know more about the posters here than anyone involved in maintaining the site as ip addresses are not logged.

If you can't connect them you are a cynical flak-generating liar as you have no way in gods earth of knowing.

I went in there recently enough to get a friend a copy of Eoin O'Brionn's book on social movements in the basque country.

The (quite burly) man in the shop looked around and told me eventually that it was out of stock but that he would tell the boss and to come back in a couple of weeks.

I was almost down to the corner with Parnell Street when I got a hand on the shoulder

I jumped about two feet as I was at the time idling along remembering anecdotes from socialist friends recounting being searched and photographed coming out from the shop in the late 90's and having easter lily badges and stuff confisticated

It was the guy from the shop

he'd found the book

trade must be lousy in there

By the way JoeTiernans book " The Dublin Monaghan Bombings and the Murder Triangle" was published by the author himself . There are only a few 100 copies available .

(oh sweet jesus im plugging these shower now as well as congratulating Fianna Fail...here goes) The Sinn Fein bookshop (bless myself quickly )is the only Dublin bookshop I know for certain carries it ( although the RSF bookshop in Parnell street might carry it too i think) . Copies are also on sale in numerous ordinary small shops along the border in south Armagh and Id have no problem obtaining a copy for anyone any time .

Tiernans book was 16 years in the writing and research and the writer has impeccable journalistic credentials having researched Yorkshire televisions hidden Hand Documentary as well as working for RTEs Today tonight and for Channel 4 .

Who is the publisher of Tiernan's book and what is their address?

author by Barrypublication date Mon Jun 06, 2005 19:33author address author phone Report this post to the editors

after almost 30 years of Fianna Fail and other parties covering up this mass murder we finally have junior members of a government party hosting debate and helping bring into the public eye some of what happened .

Ill not be sarcastic and render credit were its due to those hosting the night regardless of their political affiliation , well done . And Im glad to see at last Joe Tiernan being afforded a rare opportunity to explain the research he has done into this tragic scandal .

Joe Tiernans book was a very detailed and clinical read on what happened and reveals the true nature of political policing within the 26 cos . His research into the deliberate mass murder of dozens of Irish citizens by MI5 agents North and South of the border is a genuinely terrifying and emotional read , yet he remains clinical and unemotional and simply records the facts . While the litany of state sponsored and directed murders themselves are sickening to read about , the active collaboration of elements within An Garda Siochana Special Branch with the killers leaves one angry and exasperated .

After his initial work on the bombings its worth remembering he never worked for RTE again though and what he has to say on the activities of Special branch and their collusion with mass murderers is frightening . Unsurprisingly "Dublin Monaghan and the murder Triangle" isnt carried by most major book stores because of the political sensitivity of its material , itself a disgrace . Not exactly censorship but the next best thing . So a rare congratulations from me to the Ogra Fianna Fail cumann whove organised this night .

Its just a pity Bertie himself or a few senior Garda cant be available for the QA session afterwards . Then we might get some light shed on how the files into Dublin Monaghan just disappeared 2 years ago . Sickening to think this state cover up is still ongoing .

Id encourage anyone with an interest in these matters to try and track down a copy of Tiernans book ( Dublin Monaghan and the Murder Triangle) and aquaint themselves with the facts of what happened in Dublin/Monaghan and elsewhere . You will have your eyes opened and your emotions left raw .
