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.

Non C'est Non: Sarkozy's Irish visit met with protests

category national | eu | news report author Monday July 21, 2008 23:56author by Paula Geraghtyauthor email mspgeraghy at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

Anti Globalisation protestors took to Government buildings to highlight the WTO impact on Irish farming, workers and human rights and fisheries. Each group was divided and coralled into three different sections in a state move to institutionalise supposed differences in those who articulated a NON in the Lisbon Treaty referendum.

He came, he saw, kissed Cowen and left after a whirlwind 5 hour tour.
The IFA, Caeuc with it's may affiliated organisations and Fisheries groups came out in force today to Merrion Square to help Sarkozy understand the meaning of Non.

For those who weren't there a taste of events.

This is just loopy- Luxembourg and Spain? Exactly when did they have a referendum on Lisbon?

Perhaps our deceptive friend means the EU constitution? A few more countries voted on that one (Ireland never got a chance)...

And comparing the trade situation of Ireland and a country which is subject to sanctions? what on earth is that about?

The strong Gardai presence can be clearly seen, always quick to say you don't have a right to do this and you don't have a right to do that but they are the ones acting unlawfully.

I notice one of the posts at the above French web site address (part of Tue Jul 29, 2008 10:16 post) states:

"It (the no vote for Lisbon Treaty) arrived like a courted woman says no; so, why is it is necessary to insist?"

"A good gentleman understands these things well (but not our Mr Sarkozy).

"If one insists, one generates unwanted results."

Well said!!

You are our hope because you are few, so you can speak together, and contact yourselves, without media.

In France, we have propaganda and it works quite enough in part of people that doesn't imagine that communication is a whole (or whore ) job.

Examples of Propaganda we have, actually, in France :

TV messages, telling best about actual politique of purchasing power.
People going to meet us, on beach, to sing the praises of Sarkozy'politique. (I have heard)

Call "modernism" what is from Middle Ages. ... etc...

does one honestly think that the the political establishment will have a rerun of Lisbon coming up to euro elections 2009.

given the fact that this year there will be 440million in public cutbacks.
with 1.5 billion in cut backs next year.

5o% of labour voters opposed the referendum

that in December the Czech government will host eu presidency

message is loud and clear Lisbon is dead.

It was great to see the Tara activists there with all the other anti Lisbon groups. I sometimes think that the Tara activists are the real patriots in this country when it comes to protecting our identity and heritage. The EU will eventually want to destroy any symbols such as Tara if they are to go for full EU "integration" in the not too distant future.

The IFA - the largest contingent - did NOT turn out to protest about the Lisbon treaty. They were there to SUPPORT Sarkozy in his oppositon to the Mandelson line at the WTO talks. In fact Sarkozy clapped in support of Padraig Walsh of the IFA at the reception when he spoke against the WTO. The farmers, as usual, are primarily interested in their own well being.
