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.

Traditional Concert Doolin, Co Clare, Rossport 5 Fundraiser.

category mayo | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Friday August 19, 2005 14:55author by Niall Harnettauthor email clare at shelltosea dot com Report this post to the editors

A moment in time connecting 2 strong, vibrant, coastal, musical communities ... Doolin and Rossport.

Over EUR 3000.00 raised for the Rossport Five Fund as over 40 musicians, singers and dancers played to a packed audience for over four hours at The Russell Cultural Centre in Doolin, last night Thursday 18th August.

Thanks to concert organiser Mattie Shannon.
Thanks also to Mike Shanahan, Kevin Griffin, Shane McGowan, Michael Nagle, Ritchie Jones, Ritchie Nagle and Carol Weafer for sound and looking after things on the night.

Special thanks to all the musicians, singers and dancers. Rock on!.
Mick Flynn, Danny Burke, Ger Hoyne, Sonja O'Brien, Paul Stafford, Michel Bonamy, Davie Spillane, Peadar Reilly.

Great music in the hall, crowd delighted, conversations in the lobby between locals, visitors and media, discussions about Shell and the Government, info flyers given out, 'Justice for the Rossport 5' t-shirts sold, invitations to and plans made for coming to the Rossport Solidarity Camp.

Once again it's down to the ordinary people of Ireland to show their support for the ShelltoSea campaign and to work on behalf of our citizens in their fight against our Government who persist in aiding and abetting a foreign private company in the criminalisation of innocent people trying to protect their families and communities from the predation of Shell, who's own record speaks for itself... environmental destruction and murder.

How were they ever let into this country?
Answer: Our government opened the door, did everything to make life easy for them and hard for those who are prepared to say NO to them.
Result: 5 men in jail and a community in crisis for the last 5 years.
Great job Bertie, Noel Dempsey, Frank Fahey, Ray Burke, Dermot Ahern and Michael McDowell minister for injustice. Proud of yourselves aren't ye. Yes, indeed ye are and that's the shame of it.

Vindicate the Rossport 5.

the berlin love parade

in cold war 80`s berlin people protested, they were ANTI this, anti that but then in 1989, 150 people in berlin had a demonstration FOR tolerance, respect and communication between nations. not only that but they decided to be creative and they turned it into a little free techno party on the streets. 10 years later and there was 1.5million people dancing on the streets of berlin,
