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.

Eamon Ryan bottles out of debate in UCD when chalenged by Shell 2 Sea protesters

category national | anti-capitalism | news report author Tuesday October 30, 2007 23:39author by E - UCD Shell 2 Seaauthor email ucdshelltosea at gmail dot com Report this post to the editors

On yer bike Eamon

A successful protested took place this evening in UCD where Shell to Sea activists took on both the government and the Shell Corporation in the space of one evening.

The protest was called by UCD Shell to Sea when it was revealed that the Shell Corporation was giving a careers lecture this evening at 6pm in UCD Student Centre. Around 40 protesters gathered at 6pm outside the Astra Hall where the lecture was held. Banners and posters highlighting the crimes of Shell and the Garda in Erris Co. Mayo were on display. Several members of UCD security services and two gardai were present to protect Shell. Some of the activists engaged with students entering the talk by pointing out what Shell are doing to the people of Erris. When hearing this some students decided not to cross the picket line while about 10 students entered the talk.

At 6.45 the protesters felt their point was well made to Shell and decided that the next port of call would be a Law Society debate sceduled for 7pm. The debate entitled ‘This house believes the wrong government was elected’ was due to hear speeches from both Brian Cowan and Eamon Ryan. Biffo was a no show obviously believing that bailing out his old chum Michael Woods was more important that blowing hot air with the Law soc kids. The Shell to Sea activists congregated outside Theatre M in the Arts block, where they awaited the arrival of Eamon Ryan. When the Green Party Minister appeared circled by the special branch and UCD security. The Shell to Sea activists began to chant ‘Shame!’ and ‘Shell to Sea!’. Ryan who no doubt was embarrassed by his lack of action on the issue bottled it and ran for the nearest exit deciding that tonight was not the night to deal with concerned students and citizens over the theft of our natural resources, garda brutality and environmental destruction in rossport. No doubt rattled by the fact that before the election he would have been standing with us against Shell, while now with the Greens in government he is defending their actions in Mayo.

After Ryan left a Shell to Sea meeting took place upstairs in the Arts block. All and all it was a successful protest which managed to get the issues of Shell to Sea raised directly with both Shell and the Government in one night.

Fair play to all involved, see you on Novermber 9th in rossport where the struggle will continue.
