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.

1798 Commemoration Tara

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday May 13, 2008 15:53author by Tara Tara Tara Report this post to the editors

A Memorial Stone dedicated to the Irish Rebels killed during the 1798 Rebellion at Tara has mysteriously disappeared.
Rousing Speeches
Rousing Speeches

Gardai are currently investigating the mysterious disappearance of a 1798 Memorial Stone from a wall on the roadside on the border between the townlands of Odder and Castleboy on the Hill of Tara.

The monument was erected in 1998 by a group called Comoradh Rioch na Mhi and was inscribed with

"1798- 1998 in memory of the Croppies who gave their lives for Ireland, 26 May 1798 Erin Go Bragh"

Patrick Pryle, one of the founding members of Comoradh Rioch na Mhi organised bus loads of Pike groups from Wexford to attend a wreath laying ceremony on Sunday. It was well attended by locals and visitors all outraged at the disappearance of the stone. Patrick Pryle has written to the OPW, the Meath County Manager and the Chief Super in Navan garda station asking them to investigate the matter.

He is quoted as saying " It is Sacred land and it is under the protection of the state and it is up to the state to protect its own property and the memory of these people who died for Ireland."

It is estimated that about 400 Rebels were killed in the battle and are buried on the Hill of Tara in unmarked graves after being hung by the neck by the Brittish.

Anyone with information should contact Navan Garda Station.

I would like to thank all those who attended our ceremony at Tara on Sunday. We recieved a warm reception and great support . We would very much appreciate it if whoever is responsible for removing the Memorial Monument would return it to its rightful position immediately, no questions asked. Otherwise may the full force of the Law be applied for this crime.

What a shame that such a vital part of Irish history should fall to a senseless prank! As a displaced son of Ireland (my great...grands fled to America), it breaks my heart to see many the changes that are taking place in my homeland. They so closely mirror the decline of this once-great country - loss of memory and respect for the heroes of our past (as evidenced by this most recent theft), drifting away from the family values that kept our race strong through hundreds of years of persecution by the brits, falling away from the time honored religious traditions that sustained us for centuries.
Tell me, my brothers still on Irish sod: is this really all due to our "freedom"? It seems that, just as we are coming into our own, out from under oppressive boots, we are losing our grip on all that has made us unconquerable for so long.
Do we need oppression to remember that our real strength is in our faith and our blood loyalty? Is freedom and prosperity too heady a drink for us to handle with dignity?
Please, God, let it not be so!
Ireland! Remember your faith! Remember your strengths of family and community and national camaraderie!
God bless Ireland.

The theft of that memorial stone is a sad disgrace. And for what reason stolen? But even sadder it seems to tie-in with the treatment being metered out in the Gabhra Valley, the Hill overlooks, where bones of the dead have been unceremoniously dug up along the present line of the M.3 motorway route and bagged and tagged and dumped in a warehouse. And that is official, government sponsored policy as was destroying Lismullen National Monument and the emasculating of Rath Lugh National Monument for M.3 road-take across the valley from Tara Hill.

Strangely the sly nicking of the 1798 commemeration stone sort of shows consistency with the general, illegal "desacrelising" (Seamus Heaney's word for it!) that is presently taking place in the Tara Domain.
If the government itself doesn't show the proper respect due to a consecrated National environment one wonders what example it is for unofficial chancers to copy and maybe for as commercial a reason as the M.3 holds for some others on the grab!
Where there was for centuries an enemy without there's now the "enemy within" prepared, by the look of things, to be just as ruthless as any Imperial occupier was. And with foreign, corporate help!

Maybe this coming Saturday's Save Tara March in Dublin, May 17th, and including Tara Harpers again, can highlight both the above disgraces being perpetrated in the New Ireland of 2008. Slan

The stone has been returned! After all this time -maybe someone's conscience got the better of him in the end. It is in safe keeping for the moment awaiting a decision by the 1798 people as to where it will be positioned and a date set for an appropriate ceremony. Nice to get good news for a change isn't it :)
