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 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.

Protest: Let Great's family stay!

Protest
Let Great's family stay!
11.30 am, Tuesday 14 August
Garda National Immigration Bureau, Burgh Quay, Dublin (opposite Liberty Hall)

Great Agbonlahor is a 6-year-old autistic boy threatened with deportation - along with his twin sister Melissa and his mother Olivia - to Nigeria, where he will have no chance of receiving the treatment he needs. The family have now been brought from Killarney to Balseskin House hostel in Finglas, where Olivia has received unwelcome visits from Gardai hassling her.

The family have been told to report to the Garda National Immigration Bureau on Tuesday 14 August, and to bring their luggage with them. There is a very real chance that this is when the attempt will be made to deport the family. The last protest attracted a good crowd and wide publicity, but we need more this time to force Brian Lenihan to cancel the deportation order.

to-days decision to-deport OLivia, Melissa, Grace. by justice Develera is one of depression.
for a country, which claims to be civilised, humanatarian, christian has to be questioned.
this nonsense of the right wing media establishment. of opening the flood-gates to allow more people in, has to be kicked in the head. the role given by elected Sinn Fein councillors, in Cork and Dublin has to be commended, in their support. also Sinn Fein elected member of the Dail, Martin Ferris. along with activists. Lenihan in Devon-shire, bares responsibility. no doubt there will be people reading this, who will start mouthing about Irish children with autism. how children living in this state, with autism. is a bloody disgrace as we have seen by their families who have taken court cases.
Mary O rourke. FF who voiced suport on a personal level, for the family should have come out in public. to put pressure on Lenihan. we know that their is a close family connection.
may be there will be people sitting in the GNIB, in Burgh quay with a conscience. those who deported this family certainly have none. no doubt they will talk about been humanatarian, civilised christian. lets start treating all children equally in this country.

Garrett Sheehan was a solicitor until two months ago when he became the first solicitor practicing in the field of crime to be appointed directly to the high court as a judge.

Just to re-clarify the last comment, Garret Sheehan was appointed a Judge of the High Court several months ago along with Mary Irvine, John Edwards, Patrick J McCarthy, Brian McMahon, John Hedigan and George Birmingham. So he is now Mr. Justice Garret Sheehan.

Unfortunatley Con the silence from the whole of the left speaks volumes not only on Great's case but on this issue - shame

author by Susan Repasky - Flicker Light Studiopublication date Fri Aug 17, 2007 01:42author address author phone Report this post to the editors

To quote the Independent of August 15th, 2007, "Judge Garrett Sheehan refused to stop Justice Minister Brian Lenihan carrying out the deportation and said he did not have sufficient evidence to overturn the original order." So, it was Justice Minister Brian Lenihan who made the decision, but it was Judge Garrett Sheehan who washed his hands of the affair, much like Pontius Pilate.

This type of injustice is seen in the U.S. as well. Many families have been decimated by the deportation of immigrants, even those who have filed for citizenship. It is a harsh reality that we are living in a time when those who may have been welcomed to our lands before are now viewed as a threat in some fashion or another. The plaque on the bottom of a symbol of welcome, the Statue of Liberty reads:

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door".

These words are from the poem “The New Colossus,” written by the nineteenth-century American poet Emma Lazarus.

What I have visualized of late is sketching my own version of the statue, with belly wide open, immigrants pouring into the belly, and smoke belching out of her mouth. We are fast approaching a time when the value of humans is limited. This is a sad state of affairs.

Blessings,

" We are fast approaching a time when the value of humans is limited. This is a sad state of affairs."

And do tell me approximately how many years ago, was it that the new immigrants to Turtle Island slaughtered thousands of the indigenous population?

Therefore it could be presumed that the US government is protecting it's own ass and that of it's citizens from a new wave of immigrants - who just might be tempted ??

Hi Observer.

I am exquisitely and painfully aware of the extermination of Amer-Indians when this continent was occupied by the British. I am quite aware of the fact that even as recently as last century, the Amer-Indians in Arizona who were sent to the Indian School in Phoenix were forced to scrub the "color" off of their skin with pumice, and forbidden to speak in their own language. I am aware of this, as well as other dehumanizing and abhorrent acts of vileness.

I would not state that the U.S. government is covering it's ass, but rather setting the stage for some changes on an even larger global scale.

Blessings,

Susan Isabella Sheehan-Repasky

That is also the entitlement of all persons otherwise qualified in accordance with law to be citizens of Ireland. Furthermore, the Irish nation cherishes its special affinity with people of Irish ancestry living abroad who share its cultural identity and heritage."
