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.

What are the single men referred to under threat from in Nigeria? Persumably they made some sort of a case and were turned down? That's the process.

Is this a protest against the concept of deportation, the fact the Ireland deports people, that Ireland deports **some** people, or perhaps even the way in which deportation is used in certain cases? Can you please clarify?

The original post is a little (perhaps intentionally?) vague.

Surely 'Residents against Racism' is a misnomer?
Deportations are carried out on numerous nationalities - not based on race but on failure to be granted legal immigrant status.
'Residents against Deportations' seems more appropriate.

Racism group slams round-up of Nigerian nationals

An unknown number of Nigerian nationals are being arrested for deportation by the Gardaí today, according to a group campaigning for better treatment of immigrants and asylum seekers.

Residents Against Racism said it had received reports of several arrests throughout the country and believed the Nigerians would be deported to Lagos on a clandestine flight from Dublin tonight.

The group has previously criticised the Government's policy of rounding up failed asylum seekers and deporting them under cover of darkness on specially chartered flights.


It said some of the people being detained today fled Nigeria for fear of being forced to undergo female circumcision, while others had grown up in Ireland and were much more Irish than Nigerian.

Residents Against Racism wants responsibility for asylum and immigration to be taken away from the Government and given to an independent agency.

Were the single male deportees under threat of genital mutilation?

thats a silly question and i think it illustrates how little you care about the horrors these women will face if they are deported.

many of the men would face death or at least assault by state or private militias.

They applied for asylum, were allowed state their case, and were turned down. Obviously they did not convince anybody that they were under threat. There have to be some rules you know. Can't just let anyone who feels like it come here and stay. No state in the world operates on that basis.

there has to be rules.

i suppose you think that rules should also apply to the 40,000 irish illegal economic immigrants in the US. I guess you want to see them returned to Ireland.

If people are granted asylum on legitimate grounds (and I happen to know people in that situation) well and good, and they are certainly deserving. If not, and have provided no reasons why they ought to be, then they must be deported. Simple as that. Otherwise you will have even more false claims of asylum.

BTW, I am not aware of any of the illegal Irish claiming to be asylum seekers.

Adisa Yususfu Murphy, who has been here for 6 years is one of the three adults plus children today who are being deported today that we know of at the moment...

We are not sure where they are being held at the moment but they are close to Dublin Port

They may be probably forced onto a Stena Line ferry to the UK on the 9 pm sailing...

It is imperative that anyone who has connections to Ferry workers could contact staff working this evening on this issue or those who may be free to come down to the docks to stop these deportations....

It is important that we can make the connection to those workers this evening that they are opposed to these deportations and to refuse to allow the state to use them in this way...

I have a friend who was in Australia illegally. He was deported. Is this racism? No. If youre not meant to be in a country and if your application is turned down, then you should leave.
Under the Dublin convention people must apply for asylum in the first country they land in. There are no direct flights between Nigeria and Ireland, therefore Nigerians should be turned away immediately and should not be allowed to set foot on Irish soil unless they are here legally.
