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.

Arthur Scargill to Headline Campa Náisiúnta Óige 08

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday May 21, 2008 16:30author by Irish Republican Youthauthor email osfnational at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

Legendary Socialist and Trade Union activist Arthur Scargill will headline this year’s Campa Náisiúnta Óige. The National Youth Camp which is being held in Tí Chulainn, South Armagh from the 20 – 22 June will see the former head of the British NUM (National Union of Mineworker’s) speaking on ‘reclaiming our economic and political rights’ at 4pm on Saturday 21st June.

Scargill rose to prominence after playing a crucial role in bringing down Edward Heath’s government in 1974 and in the battle with Margaret Thatchers' Tory Government in the 1984 - 85 Coal Miner’s Strike. He has been noted for his fiery oratory skills and innovative protest tactics like the ‘flying pickets’.

A lifelong political activist, he remains active as leader of the Socialist Labour Party which he reformed in 1996.

The talk by Arthur Scargill will be only one of a number, of political, cultural and social events organised throughout the weekend.

Other significant events, include a youth debate on ‘What the proclamation means to you?’ which will include contributions from all major youth wings. There will also be an international youth talk on ‘freedom for small nations’ with youth activists from Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Basque Country and Catalan Countries speaking on national self determination.

On the social front, The Wolfetones’ Derek Warfield will provide the music on Saturday night in Silverbridge Resource Centre.

The National Youth Camp is open to young republicans (17 – 29) from across Ireland, however camping space is limited and so we would urge everyone to send in completed booking forms and money as soon as possible.

Coiste have been working with this idea since one of its first (if not its first) youth camp. Seamas your point is ridiculous, the proclamation has been around for 92 years, eirigi two, they dont have a monopoly on it. Though I do commend their popularisation of it, this benefits all republicans.

Hi,

I´m very happy because the amazing work Ogra SF, and Eirigi have being doing up to now.

Hope we could do the same in Italy.

Remember, we went after the votes and we lose any space in the italian parlament.

Don´t make the same mistake, continue fighting for the resistance.

Viva la Repubblica! Viva il Socialismo!Viva la Rivoluzione!

And as El Che said:

Hasta La Victoria Siempre, Patria o Muerte!

Just wondering as he may have to explain why the resources of ireland will be sold back to the people in the north in a double tax.

Water Charges are coming in if OSF remains a youth wing of the pro-bush, pro-imperialist organisation it has forfeited its revolutionary credentials, if it ever had any.

Maybe someone should ask Scargil if he would support such an immense attack on the working class.

Maybe the retention of academic selection at 11 for 3 years then its replacement with academic selection at 14 might be another question to ask?

fight for a socialist united ireland not the dominance of sinn fein.

Oh and on the water charges, let the battle commence.

Hi Oisin

Looks like an interesting weekend. Just wondering what the Coiste initiative was in relation to the Proclamations. I did some work with Coiste in Dublin over the years and they did much valuable work particularly at the start. Indeed I was reminded of it when I heard the sad news of Brian Keenan's passing as he spoke at the opening of the Coiste Office in Dublin back in 2000 i think it was. Perhaps old age is getting the better of me, but I don't recall Coiste doing a specific initiative in relation to the Proclamation. Perhaps you could elaborate. Maybe its a retrospective claim from some of the oldies like myself who are trying to keep some of the younger bucks away from Eirigi. I certainly think it is a valuable initiative by eirigi and hopefully other groups with borrow some of their ideas too. Is this what the indefatigable Declan Kearney means when he speaks at such length and frequently of 'synergy in struggle'. Have you invited any representatives from other republican groups to address this section of your conference? Anyway best of luck with it.

Just for the record this is not actually a coiste camp it is solely organised by ÓSFwith help from the local party.

Coiste had it as a theme for one of its first youth camps. I think it was under the "processes of nation building" initiative rather than being a wide reaching campaign. Young republicans including then kids of prisoners sat down and discussed what the proclamation meant what it would look like if written to day in the language of young people etc. wasnt involved myself but heard it was a very good session which got people thinking about what they meant by republicanism, which can only be a good thing.

The event is completely open to anyone who wants to particpate positively. If they are local dunno what the deal is with the cost, I know places are limited with regards to accomodation.

Well done Oisín. OSF have put together a good looking weekend. Excellent choice in Arthur Scargill as guest speaker. Glad to see Ógra haven't forgotten that our struggle was for a SOCIALIST republic. The boys and girls on 'the hill' could do with a reminder when they are introducing privatisation, water charges, cuts in public sevices. Hope to see Ógra at Stormont on 16th June to protest against the OFMDFM's grotesque invitation to mass murderer Bush.
