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.

London demo in support of Pat O'Donnell

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Wednesday March 17, 2010 09:16author by S - Shell To Sea Report this post to the editors

With Erris fisherman Pat O'Donnell into his second month in Castlerea Prison, UK Shell to Sea supporters held a demonstration outside the Irish Embassy.

On Tuesday 16th March, a small but dedicated group of UK Shell to Sea supporters gathered at the Irish Embassy in London to remind the State that their unjust imprisonment of Pat O'Donnell has not gone unnoticed outside Mayo, and will not be forgotten. A poster and leaflet was delivered to the embassy, and accepted by a member of staff, who then spoke with members of the group.

Beir bua agus buiochas Londain!

Thanks and regards to all who took part in support of The Chief.

Off now to Castlerea to mark the beginning of the sixth week of this vindictive state/corporate imprisonment of a decent, principled man.

Excellent eye-catching displays there. Shame on the Irish State for persecuting a brave, principled man. Hail to the Chief - beir bua!

Not only have the authorities a duty to free the Chief immediately and unconditionally, but he should also receive an apology and reparation for the wholly unjustified slurs on his character made by a Shell puppet judge.

While i fully share your views and abhorence of SHell, it is not SHell that appoints these judges it is the real traitors of Fianna Fail that does. They have just appointed another raft of their cronies to be circuit court judges Albert Reynalds daughter is one of them
Well done to all s2s supporters especially the imprisoned ones. We will all keep up our fight against these corrupt scum.

While I fully understand your views, and fully empathise with your feelings, I believe there is a bit more to it all, and that it is very important to fully understand the "bit more" -- if a "just and lasting" solution is ever to be found to the sickening set of problems our society is at present saddled with.

Suggestion for anybody wishing to learn about the "bit more" -- "Google" the short set of words provided below, as they are shown ("copy and paste" style) into the "Search" area, and "click".

tripartite separation of powers, Republic of Ireland

You have confirmed my belief that Ireland is rotten to the core.
In view of the IRMS security company recruiting Balkan mercenaries with absolutley no assesment as to their possible criminal backgrounds and using said recruits to abuse and commit crimes against the Irish people, i would like you to look at this web site.
The-Spirit -Of-Truth. ORG
The Garda ombudsman is accountable to the DPP and the minister for justice, so pleading to any sector of the state is wasted energy. Untill HONESTY is introduced to Ireland i don;t see how we can change the state of our country.
All politicians regardless of party are aware of what is happening but coose to do nothing about it.
If you have any sugestions as to how to change this i would love to know?

To "old codger" at Mon Mar 22, 2010 13:58

The core issue (I believe) is that our government appears to be entirely dependant on the "big bankers" (for the money they need) at the present time, and consequently completely under their control in a way whereby our government has to do whatever the global banking cartel wants our government to do.

The only hopeful sign I know of is that there appears to be a growing movement in the United States for new "publicly owned" banks to be created: for the purpose of removing the banking cartel's present control over the government there.

We desperately need to go down the same road here (in my view).

Chief O Donnell is an outstanding man. I thought your poster describing him was excellent.
Because he has stood firm against the corruption and bullying of our politicians, our judges and Shell with their armed security company, he is now in prison. Fortunately the attempt to drown both him and his helper failed. Why is the state not investigating that act of terrorism??????
