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

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.

RSF oppose Orde's visit to Cork

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | press release author Thursday September 27, 2007 22:22author by Seán Ó Murchú - Sinn Féin Poblachtach - Cork Report this post to the editors

Statement by Republican Sinn Féin Vice President Des Dalton

The visit of the head of the British Colonial police in Ireland to Cork tomorrow (September 28) is part of the ongoing process of normalising British rule in Ireland. By bringing Hugh Orde to Cork, like his visit to Ballymurphy in Belfast and Crossmaglen in Co Armagh, an attempt is being made to suggest that British rule and its forces of occupation are now normal and acceptable.

British rule and continued British occupation are the cause of conflict in Ireland and will never be acceptable or normal. Events such as this or a visit by the Queen of England will be opposed by Irish Republicans.

As they continue their efforts to bed down British rule in Ireland, the British government and the Dublin administration are attempting to pull the wool over the eyes of the Irish people, to sell them the big lie that the national question has finally been settled.

Such a just and lasting settlement of the conflict in Ireland can only be brought about by a full and public British declaration of intent to withdraw from Ireland. Such a development would create the space necessary for all of the Irish people to sit down and negotiate a New Ireland.

We believe the proposals for a Federal Ireland contained within EIRE NUA provide the blueprint for building that New Ireland.

The invitation to Hugh Orde is a disgrace. This along with the continuing visits by the Royal Navy to Cork makes one wonder, 'What has happened to Rebel Cork and Ireland?'

It seems the occupying power is welcome, a sad day when a Nation bows to the aggressor.

The vast majority of Irish people regard crude material wealth and participation in the capitalist rat race as much more important than the intangible aspiration of reunification of the Irish nation. Hence the popularity of New Sinn Féin in the North and Fianna Fáil in the Free State. Rebel Cork and the Gaels of the North have been pacified by Hire Purchase cars, mortgages and satellite dishes!

goodwill visits from the Royal Navy and co-operation between law enforcement agencies are to be welcomed as only good things can come from them.

Look to the future and not the past!

You mean the future when the Royal Navy will be bombing more innocent people in the Middle East? And what "law" are you talking about? English Crown law in Ireland? What good could ever come from that?

"You mean the future when the Royal Navy will be bombing more innocent people in the Middle East?"

or maybe taking part in disaster relief operations, anti-piracy patrols theres more to a modern navy thsn just blowing stuff up.

"And what "law" are you talking about? English Crown law in Ireland? What good could ever come from that?"

well, if you've just been raped, robbed or assaulted or whatever, that law would bring the criminals to justice and you the victim could walk away knowing that justice had been done, is Irish law really so different from British law?

are the Irish people capable of making their own law?

NO, not while they disagree on their own nationality they can't.

it hardly helps having foreign interferance, let england move out of the six counties and finally let the irish people work togeather for what is best for them as a whole.

English guns and money are there totally distorting the situation and making sure of continual conflict. As for you assertion that English Crown law brings "justice" to the Irish people, this is pure nonsense. The very usurpation of Irish law by Crown law is an injustice to the Irish people. English law punishing a criminal in Ireland is illegal and no different to vigilantes doing it.

Good to know that the Royal Navy takes breaks from murdering Iraqis to search for smugglers. That must make the grieving relatives of 700,000 dead Iraqis and hundreds of thousands more injured and homeless feel alot better.
