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.

A debate is to take place regarding the state of the economy and the actions of the state in trying to 'solve' it/

A Public Debate is to take place Tomorrow night (Wednesday February 25th) in The Plaza Hotel Tallaght at 20.00

The title is 'Public Sector and Private sector workers should not pay for the bosses crisis'

The speakers FOR have been confirmed and are - Cllr. Mick Murphy, Socialist Party, and Denis Keane of the CPSU (Personal capacity)

The Speakers AGAINST - We have contacted the Green Party, Fine Gael and South Dublin Chamber of Commerce and asked them to send a speaker along, hopefully they will turn up on the night.

So if you are concerned about the economy, and the feel that the ordinary PAYE worker is being unjustly targetted by the government, and want to hear the ideas people on both the left and the right have in relation to trying to tackle these problems, then you should come along!!

Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey's introduction to the Taoiseach's address at the 72nd Fianna Fail Ardfheis
Friends, tonight is one of the most important nights in Fianna Fail's history.

Each one of us here knows why. Each and every one of us knows the human truth of the collapse of the global economy. The families under extreme pressure. The constituents who have played by the rules, done the hard yards and can't believe what's happened to them.


When I began reading this load of crap i felt like laughing, then I nearly cried, and then I got very angry, and then I went to the loo.

Dempsey goes on to say what's come out of one of the banks. It was economic treason. No more. No less.

I welcome the Garda action earlier this week.

This week was almost four weeks after the event, the event was the criminality that took place in Anglo Irish Bank that brought Ireland into the rouge state status.

Culen was on the panel on Q&A's last monday night he swore that the fraud squad was already in Anglo, needless to say the audience seen through his lies and duly, and rightfully booed him, even John Bowman had a bit of a snigger,the fraud squad arrived the next day Tuesday almost four weeks late.

A Party that protects the weak and vulnerable.
This is one of the mob spewing out this garbage, that tried it on on the old age Pensioners.

This guy goes on to speak about the truth,thats a word he heard somewhere, has no idea what it means.

So here we go again F/Fail are so disillusioned and wrapped up in their own lies, so far removed from the man in the street, so tied up in their Corporate affairs, they still really think that we will believe them, they still think that we are that thick and stupid we will believe this load of Garbage.

If this country is to survive thaey have to go, and go very quickly.

Cowen gave a lousy speech.
He clearly hasn't a clue about the economy.
Fianna Fail is a big part of the problem.
How to oust them and their cronies from power is the question.
Another few years of looney tunes at the top will really wreck the country.
Maybe mass protests and strikes will do the trick.
Labour is jumping ahead in the polls.
If Gilmore became more radical his support could skyrocket.
He shouldn't be afraid to rock the boat when we're clearly on a sinking ship.
Looks like the vulture capitalists in the Carlyle Group and Arab sheikhdoms are to be subsidized to invest in Anglo.
So its necessary to reduce wages to find money for the rich.
Will they really get away with this?
Anger continues to rise, but needs to be translated into effective action to bring about regime change.
A peaceful, mass uprising could end the rule of the golden gombeen circle.

"Economic treason" words first used by DICK SPRING"describing the deal done by Fianna fail with the gas and oil companies.WE have never seen that deal.Was that deal legal?.The national natural resources belong to the people of IRELAND,to be used for their benefit.Properly managed the revenue from our proven GAS/OIL reserves would easily have seen us through the global recession.
