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.

Two Communities in Crisis Call Out for Support.

category national | environment | news report author Wednesday May 31, 2006 00:56author by Niall Harnett - Gluaiseacht. Report this post to the editors

Call Out from Bantry Concerned Action Group & Kildimo/Pallaskenry Spring Water Committee who are forced into blockades of ESB and Limerick Co. Council, respectively.

In Co. Cork, the ESB (Electricity Supply Board) wants to route 12-14km of overhead Power Lines and Pylons from Dromourneen to Ballylickey, just North of Bantry in West Cork. 27 local landowners who form the Bantry Concerned Action Group are saying NO because of health, safety and environmental concerns. They say ... 'Put the power line under the ground, where it's safer and it's impact is less severe.' The ESB say 'No, we'll put it where we want and the Electricity Supply Act of 1927 gives us the power to do what we like on your land'.

In Co. Limerick, the communities of Kildimo and Pallaskenry are fighting for the retention of their Spring Water source and supply from Bleach Lough lake, while Limerick County Council want to connect them to a new water supply ... the polluted, yes POLLUTED River Deel!

Both communites have been forced reluctantly into the last resort of blocking machinery and personnel THIS WEEK, and are CALLING OUT FOR SUPPORT.

Last week the ESB sought and were granted a high court injunction, which from June 1st onwards, 'prohibits' the landowners in Bantry from blocking any work on the power lines and pylons. The Bantry Concerned Action Group have decided to ignore that injunction and face the consequences, and will be protesting against and blockading the work from this Thursday June 1st onwards, until the ESB agree to put the power lines underground.

The Kildimo/Pallaskenry Communities are awaiting a judicial review of their case against Limerick Co. Council on June 15th, and members of their committee have given an 'UNDERTAKING' to the courts not to interfere with work on the 'new' water pipeline, PENDING THAT REVIEW. However, Limerick Co. Council have taken advantage of that undertaking and tried to move in to day with contractors and machinery, which forced the committee members' wives and children to come out and blockade the work ... with success ... but not without intimidation from Limerick Co. Council. The committee members are reviewing their undertaking because of the need to strengthen the blockades tomorrow Wednesday against these bullying tactics of Limerick Co. Council.

Both communites need support at this crucial time. This article is an attempt to garner some support and solidarity for them.

I'll be travelling to Limerick and then on to Cork to meet the communities and present more detailed photo reports over the next few days, hopefully, so please stay tuned.

More importantly, If you can get to Bantry, Co Cork and/or Kildimo/Pallaskenry, Co limerick, please do try.
Contact me at 086 8444966 for more details.

I know many people are travelling to Rossport Solidarity Camp this bank holiday weekend for the 1st Anniversary Gathering of the ongoing camp, set up last year in June 2005. I'll be telling the groups in Bantry and Kildimo there is an opportunity for them to come and talk about their predicaments to the Gathering in Rossport, should they wish or be able to travel at such short notice.

Failing that, I would ask that those of you in Rossport this weekend would consider these community struggles, with all the simply unacceptable familiar symptoms of Rossport, and talk about it amongst yourselves, with a view to generating more support for them. Thanks.

Have a great weekend on the beach my friends. Best wishes to you all.
