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.

Easter statement by the leadership of Ógliagh na hÉireann

category national | miscellaneous | press release author Saturday April 15, 2006 18:24author by spokesperson ( south armagh) - 32 County Sovereignty Movement Report this post to the editors

RIRA issue Easter statement

This statement from the leadership of Ógliagh na hÉireann was released anonymously this afternoon to the Sovereign nation .
Ógliagh na hÉireann
Ógliagh na hÉireann

""Irish sovereignty is being undermined on a daily basis, not only by the British Army in the north, but also by the American warplanes which land illegally in Shannon. Our national resources are being stolen by multinational capitalists and their Free State allies. Republicans stand for the complete ownership of Irish national territory and its resources for the benefit of the Irish people in accordance with the proclamation of the Republic""

In a statement issued anonymously today to the sovereign nation the leadershhip of Ógliagh na hÉireinn ( RIRA) have hit out at the ongoing usurpation of Irish sovereignty by the British occupying forces , the US administration and by multinational capitalists and their native allies .

The Easter message reads as follows ;

""The leadership of Óglaigh na hÉireann extend revolutionary greetings to our volunteers and supporters on this the 90th anniversary of the Easter Rising. We offer our continuing condolences to the families of all those who have died in the pursuit of Irish freedom. Their memory is an inspiration to us all. We also send solidarity greetings to our imprisoned comrades at home and abroad. We salute your courage and your continued resistance to the policy of criminalisation.

The Republican position is again under threat by revisionists within the Free State establishment. Their attempts to misrepresent the Republican position will be exposed by those who still hold true to Republican ideals. This Easter those who have usurped Irish sovereignty will parade past the GPO and attempt to reclaim the legacy of 1916. Republicans will again resist the attempts of constitutional nationalists to portray themselves as the legitimate successors of Pearse and Connolly.

We remember with pride the ten Óglaigh na hÉireann and INLA volunteers who died 25 years ago in the pursuit of political status and we reaffirm, in their memory, our commitment to the ending of British rule in Ireland and the restoration of national democracy and national sovereignty.

Former comrades have usurped the constitution of Óglaigh na hÉireann and have accepted Britain's right to interfere in our affairs. This is an intolerable situation and the leadership of Óglaigh na hÉireann pledge to remain true to our constitution and its aims and objectives.

Irish sovereignty is being undermined on a daily basis, not only by the British Army in the north, but also by the American warplanes which land illegally in Shannon. Our national resources are being stolen by multinational capitalists and their Free State allies. Republicans stand for the complete ownership of Irish national territory and its resources for the benefit of the Irish people in accordance with the proclamation of the Republic.

The causes of the conflict in Ireland remain unchanged. Britain refuses to declare its intent to withdraw and the so called government of the Irish people refuses to demand their withdrawal. While this remains the case Óglaigh na hÉireann will continue to exist to defend Irish sovereignty and the Irish nation.""

Thanks for the thought though.

Are you comparing Ógliagh na hÉireann with the Patriots?

Get real!

Go away you were never wanted and are not wanted now.

Those that talk about dying for Ireland (like Ógliagh na hÉireann ) only make others die for Ireland.

There was a time when armed struggel was an appropriate strategy, that time has passed. We are now in a position of great opportunity to achieve a United Ireland.
The time of the Armalite in one hand and a ballot box in the other has progressed into a ballot box being held firmly with both hands.

not sure what a 'publicity calendar' is - but the photos are from the last year.

not sure why people are so touchy about the question - you posted the photos as news.

"Ireland unfree shall never be at peace".

The slogan never changes just the initials.
Whether the letters used are RIRA, CIRA, or 32CSC doesn't matter.
The fact is the primary reason for the struggle still exists,
therefore the struggle will continue.

And in all struggles the brave are the few
while the sidelines are lined three deep with sheep.

First of all, it is:
Óglaigh Na hÉireann (You spelt it wrong) (It stand for Irish Volunteers or Irish Army)

Secondly, Óglaigh Na hÉireann did not release any statement like the above over easter.

Óglaigh Na hÉireann was marching down O' Connell st. in Dublin on Easter Sunday as 120,000 people cheered & watched on (Certainly a lot more support than any other army wannabees have).

Yes, Óglaigh Na hÉireann are to the Irish Defence Forces, the proud descendents of the Irish Volunteers.

all others are just wannabes and walters.

The IDF ( photo provided above ) are defenders of the establishment in the 26 counties, this as you well know is not the Army representing Ireland, but only the jurisdiction covered by the Act of Ireland Act 1921, ( a partitioned island ) as both the Volunteers and the IRA ( 1919 first Dail Eireann ) were 32 county organisations, it is logical that the IDF are not the inheritors of the title: IRISH ARMY as Ireland is not yet united.

I draw you attention to articles 2,3 and 4 of the Constitution. Especially Article 4

Article 4
The name of the State is Éire, or, in the English language, Ireland.

The 26 counties is Ireland....the Republic of Ireland.....Éire.
The 6 counties is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland..... or also known as Northern Ireland on it own.

The 26 counties is Ireland. Óglaigh Na hÉireann is the Army of Ireland.

Also
IDF stands for Isreali defence forces.

The Irish Army is not the IDF, it is known as Óglaigh Na hÉireann
