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.

'Irish Republican Youth in Struggle' Film online

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday September 19, 2007 19:16author by Barra - Ógra Shinn Féinauthor email osfnational at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

Following a huge demand for the first Ógra Shinn Féin film ‘Irish Republican Youth in Struggle’ with over 1000 DVD’s sold throughout Ireland, they have now released the film online at: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-704349414765...47240

The quality of the online edition is lesser than the official copy, so if anyone would like the official ‘Irish Republican Youth in Struggle’ it is available to buy priced £5 or 8Euro. Send payment + £2.50 (postal and packaging), name and address to: Ógra Shinn Féin Merchandise 4 - 5 James Street Omagh County Tyrone Ireland. For more information contact osfnational@yahoo.ie

Speaking on the film, National Organiser of Ógra Shinn Féin Barry McColgan said,

“The film traces Irish Republican Youth from the formation of Na Fianna in 1909 until the modern day activism of Ógra. It traces the role youth played through significant dates and events in Irish history, it also notes some of the campaigns that Ógra have been involved in from their formation in 1997.”

“I would encourage everyone to view the film. It is not intended to give a definitive history of the of Republican Youth, but only a brief overview of their role in struggle throughout the last century, and it is hoped it will bring greater interest to the struggle to as many people as possible.”

Perhaps OSF could remind us what their position was, and is, on the acceptance of British Policing in Ireland? They were fundamentally opposed to it but if the majority of delegates at the Special Ard Fheis voted in favour they wouldn't be fundamentally opposed to it.

I agree, in the area where I come from, when a crowd of residents came out to challenge a family of hoods who had attacked numerous people for kicks and terrorised the community, the Shinners appeared on the scene and were more concerned with stopping the people attacking the hoods in case they got the blame for attacking them and were kicked out of Stormont.

It is not accurate to Sinn Fein are simply no longer challenging anti-social behaviour / hoods / drug dealers.
In the west of Belfast they as good as sponsered the gang of hoods who wrecked the place.

author by Tic Tacpublication date Fri Sep 21, 2007 13:52author address author phone Report this post to the editors

The Republican Movement might have in the past tackled Drug Dealers and the anti-social scum who plague our communities but since they became part of the system they have abandoned the people and are now more worried about keeping on the right side of the DUP.
I am an individual and do not pretend to be an elected representative of the people. I have not seen Gerry Adams nor Martin McGuinness on the streets calling the people out to confront these scumbags. I have not announced boldly that I would be "Putting manners in the PSNI" who turn a blind eye to these scumbags.
Since the ceasefires anti-social behaviour and drug dealing have spiralled out of control, even Republicans are forced to clench their teeth and suffer at the hands of these scumbags so as not to incur the wrath of Paisley. Is this progress? No it's called being under the cosh

I notice that Ken Loach has remained silent on my question regarding this issue.

If any one has tackled anti-social and drug pushers it has been the Republican Movement, Sinn Féin, Ógra and various community activists who support it.

Who has done more than them?

Please tell us tic tac, activist wise and community wise, what is it that your doing that we are not doing?

Er, Ken Loach or Barry or whatever, I noticed a spot about Political Policing, banners waving in the air and all that razzmatazz.
Didn't your leadership tell us that we should support that Political Police Force who in the past have colluded with Loyalist killers?
Didn't they announce boldly that they would put manners in them?
Why didn't I see any slots about drug dealers and anti-social behaviour or will you be dealing with that later?

If a 1,000 people bought that video then it proves one thing, there is one born every minute.

No bother Tic Tac just working on a full feature length film now detailing every single aspect of Republican Youth and working on a huge budget of a gizzillion pound.

Seriously thought,

"It is not intended to give a definitive history of the of Republican Youth, but only a brief overview of their role in struggle throughout the last century,"

I await your contribution to the film world, and by the way over 1000 people already bought the film. Brass necks indeed???

'The Winf That Shakes The Tic Tac'

author by Tic Tacpublication date Thu Sep 20, 2007 19:00author address author phone Report this post to the editors

I've just watched what they claim to be a history of youth in the struggle. Watch it for yourself and you'll see a mishmash of images which jump from 1916 /1922 to 1969, Bloody Sunday, the Hunger Strikes, elections right into a series of shots showing Ogra and their various meaningless protests, clapping and speeches.
It was probably made in Derry and I sure as hell learnt nothing about Na Fianna and those who died during it's history except for a few names at the end.
To ask for £5.00 plus £2.50 for what amounts to a few minutes of Republican history and a wedding video of Ogra, is undoubtedly brassed-necked.
Don't take my word for it, click on their link and watch it yourself.

Hi !

Myself and other republicans were proud to march beside uniformed members of Na Fianna Eireann only last August (19th) in Crumlin , Dublin . They are not only still in existence , but are active , well-disciplined and organised .

What are Ogra doing regarding anti-social behaviour and drug dealing in Nationalist areas? Waiting for SF to put manners in the RUC /PSNI perhaps?

Why should people disregard my comment? it was merely an historical question.
I was led to believe that people resigned en masse from na Fianna Eireann, and before 1992.
Since you mention it though, why was Na Fianna disbanded in 1992? as you say it was.

Na Fianna came to an end in 1992, Ógra Shinn Féin are the only Republican Youth Movement who are actively campaigning on Republican and Socialist issues.

Great video by the way, never mind the comments above.

I would be interested to hear how OSF feel about 'Na Fianna Eireann' today almost twenty years since Provisional youths resigned en masse from that group.
Any OSFers care to comment?
