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

offsite link China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
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.

these are the main reasons why I and many Green party members are voting no to Lisbon

category national | eu | opinion/analysis author Thursday June 12, 2008 13:31author by old fashioned Green Report this post to the editors

Reason no 1 is the watering down of EU chemicals Legislation (REACH)

these are the main reasons why I and many Green party members are voting no to Lisbon and why we refused to campaign for a yes vote.
Reason no 1: REACH
Reason no 2: Nuclear power
Reason no 3: EU Corruption
Reason no 4: EU Police state.

these are the main reasons why I and many Green party members are voting no to Lisbon and why some of us campaigned for a NO vote.

Reason no 1: is the gutting of the EU's own REACH chemical legislation by vested interests (big corporations). This was covered in an indymedia article at the time but ignored by the NO campaigns.
here is a link to the original indymedia story: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/69010 also: http://www.foe.co.uk/resource/press_releases/chemicals_....html

Reason no 2: Nuclear power. This is of course close to many green hearts. As long standing envirnmental activist and Green Party councillor Bronwen Maher said that on the issue of nuclear power and the lisbon Treaty in response to the protocol inserted in Lisbon on the Euratom Treaty, "It does mean that we will have to support further expansion of nuclear power plants and to accept nuclear power through the national grid." Enough said on that.

Reason no 3: EU corruption. There has been a news blackout on this by the Irish mainstream media but brave and courageous 'whistleblowers' have been exposing this for years now. some of them have been sacked and persecuted for their honesty. I remmember indymedia covering corruption in the EU commission during the Nice referendum in relation to the entire EU commission having to resign over the fraud and corruption that is rampant is Brussells.

Reason no 4: EU Police state. 9/11 gave the EU elite the pretext they always wanted and needed to rush through repressive legislation and powers which they will need to keep their citizens in line as the EU becomes too big and unwieldy into the future. Some EU Cops forces are so heavy handed with anti nuclear and anti globalisation protestors that they make the Gardai look like born again pacifists. www.statewatch.org is a good source for this information.

I invite above signed members and supporters of Green Party to leave their party, good luck.

Patricia McKenna is refusing to leave. They'll have to kick her out to stop her attending party conferences and trying to bring some sense of integrity and bravery back into the party. I'm sure Gormley would love all the die-hard greens to leave, and then he'd have a party that has a green veneer, but a Fianna Fail soul...

I know some Greens who are opposed to the Eu police state and nuclear power and who were campaigning for a no vote, a few of them mentioned the chemicals regulations that the EU allowed to be muzzled. On balance it is better that they oppose their opportunist leaders and fight them on the inside I am not sure if a breakaway green party is feasible , however if the leadership runs with lisbon 2 (and I would not trust them as far as they could be thrown) ther might be a parting of the ways or Greens against lisbon2 ?

One thing in your argument against the Lisbon treaty stood out - to stop further nuclear plants. Why? Do you prefer to choke the atmosphere with C02 as there is no cleaner alternative, at least medium term then fission reactors. Have you not read the sane and logical arguments put forward by one of the planets true friends James Lovelock?
It never ceases to amaze me that so called greens are so blinkered and stupid as not to see that the only solution that can be put into operation in less then 10years to at least half co2 emissions is the nuclear option.

Our precious Earth can handle nuclear waste, even accidents, much more readily then the slow suffocation by c02 emissions and the resulting warming its causing now, and the huge extinctions (including most of mankind) that we are facing into now.

But no, keep waffling about 'renewables' which are non starters. Just look at 'bio fuels' for example.
When will ye wake up???

Is mise,
Seamus
