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.

Thousands March to Show No! Welcome 4 State mUrDeRers!

category antrim | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Sunday November 02, 2008 16:32author by Youth 4 Truth - Ógra Shinn Féinauthor email osfnational at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

Thousands of people turned out to the Sinn Fein rally/march today (Sun 2 Nov) which opposed the 'home coming' parade by the notorious RIR regiment of the British Army.

There was a large Ógra Shinn Féin presence on the day, with young republicans travelling from across Ireland.

The rally/march was calling for an end to the ongoing illegal occupations in Ireland, Iraq, and Afghanistan and also to demand the truth for the hundreds of families who have been bereaved through the official British state policy of collusion and state murder. The UDR/RIR themselves where part and parcel of the murder machine.

At the Rally in Dunville, Sean 'Spike' Murray, Gerry Kelly MLA and National Co-ordinator for Relatives For Justice Mark Thompson addressed the assembled crowd.

As the marchers, led by relatives, made their way to Fisherwick place to protest peacefully and dignified at the passing RIR/UDR coat trailing exercise, loyalists who had accessed scaffolding adjacent to the protest, lobbed bottles, bits of scaffold and fireworks to provoke, and injure.

The Sinn Féin protest remained vigilant and dignified and relatives held the portraits of their loved ones, the victims of Collusion/State murder, high as the RIR/UDR 'victory parade' passed by.

The rally/march allowed the families, who had been ignored in this highly insensitive parade, get their message across, and it also allowed the people of Belfast and wider afield to demonstrate their ongoing opposition to the illegal occupation of Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Looks like you were doing the cops job for them there with that amount of marshalling.
Some presence may be necessary but it devalues the freedom of protesting and creates firm hierarchys in the leader and the led.

While I have issues with Sinn Fein the marshalling was certiainly needed, the protest could have turned violent easily, I can at least say well done for organising this demonstration well and making sure it stayed peaceful

There was an anarchist march to oppose the RIR parade as well, so if you wanted to attend a march with no marshalls you could have gone to that.

To Anti War - Anti Borders,

Not sure if your a rep for anti war movement, but where the f**k where the anti war movement in Belfast on Sunday?

Was the single biggest public act by the British War Machine in Belfast in a very long time, not reason enough to come out and make your feelings none on anti imperialism?

An absolute disgrace, the silence is deafening and everyone can see it, you's have tarnished yourselves once again.

Fair play to Ogra Sf and the rest of them, consistent message, Iraq, Ireland, Afghanistan, end the occupations!

Interesting to see the picture of the RUC/PSNI cameraman filming the Sinn Féin protestors. If we have any information on the protestors should we forward it on to the PSNI?

The Australian federal government have stated that the Aussie troops are welcome in the six counties while they train how to harass civilians before leaving to do some killing in Afghanistan.

Feel free to make some noise about this aiding and abetting of the continued Australian supported British military occupation of Ireland.

Was in Belfast on Sunday gone and have read all reports and viewed all media filming of Sinn Fein protest and am in no doubt that there was definately no more than 1000/1200 protesters at the max.For such an event taking place in Belfast this is a terrible turnout.One can only blame Sinn Fein leadership for mobilising at the 11th hour(was this a consequence of the fear that relatives groups and credible republicans alike were preparing to attend eirigi commeration in absence of SF protest up to last week)and for the confusion their support of the PSNI,Parades Commision and Stormont Assembly(all aspects of normalisation)has installed in republicans nationally.One must ask the question how does a republican party justify engagement in a powering sharing executive with the DUP,supporting and endorsing policing by the PSNI and applying to the Parades Commision for the right to protest with true republican values.Confused?,well i am.Maybe this is the reason for the poor turnout by Belfast standards.

i am also confused how does a party that chose to accept and administer british policing in ireland explain to itself this paradox, while protesting against one arm of occupation it refuses to accept the rationale that it is complicit in consolidating occupation by its decision on policing.
