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.

IPSC Launches new branch in Northwest

category sligo | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Tuesday September 28, 2010 17:49author by Gerry C - IPSCauthor email northwest at ipsc dot ie Report this post to the editors

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) launched its new Northwest Branch at a public meeting in Sligo on Saturday 26 September in the Glasshouse Hotel.

Around 40 people attended the inaugural meeting of the Northwest IPSC. Addressing the meeting was the IPSC Boycott Officer Anne Kennedy, Fintan Lane of the Free Gaza Movement and the IPSC and Fiachra O Luain. Both Fiachra and Fintan were part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla that was attacked on May 31 in International waters by Israel, resulting in the murder of nine pro-Palestinian activists and the wounding of many more, some of whom remain in a serious condition.

Fiachra and Fintan were among the many activists that were kidnapped by Israeli troops during the raid and forcibly brought to Israel against their will. They were abused and assaulted by their captors before being eventually deported.

First to address the meeting was Anne Kennedy who explained how illegal Israeli settlements forced local Palestinian families to abandon their farms and their homes. She also outlined the background to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel, a demand that originated from within Palestinian civil society and revealed the IPSC's plans to step up the Boycott campaign over the coming weeks and months. (See http://ipsc.ie/campaigns.php for more info on the BDS campaign)

Fiachra then focused on the recently published UN Human Rights Council report into the Israeli attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla and the Mavi Marmara in particular. While he welcomed the content of this report which exposed the brutal nature of Israel’s war crimes during their attack on the aid flotilla, he feared that a further UN Panel of Inquiry – established by the office of UN Generla Secretary Ban Ki Moon - may not attempt to make Israel accountable but rather help Israel cover their tracks. (See http://cosmos.ucc.ie/cs1064/jabowen/IPSC/ipsc/displayRe...D=402 for more information on the UN HRC Report)

Fiachra said: “The presence of former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe on this inquiry has made a lot of us fear that it will be used to cover Israel's tracks because of Uribe's track record of explicit support for Israel and human rights violations.” (See http://cosmos.ucc.ie/cs1064/jabowen/IPSC/ipsc/displayRe...D=387 for more information on this)

He also revealed that he had suggested to the Department of Foreign Affairs that they should sue Israel for the attack on the Mavi Marmara. He said: “I told the Department that the 'serious consequences' promised by Brian Cowen could take the form of a court case against Israel.”

He concluded by saying: “We could sue Israel for what happened on the Mavi Marmara as the boat was registered in the Comoros Islands which is a party to the Rome Conventions. This is a way that Ireland can play a leading role and hold Israel accountable for their actions.”

Outlining plans for Irish participation in a second Freedom Flotilla to Gaza in November Fintan Lane appealed for financial support and told the meeting that it is a lack of action by governments around the world that makes these flotillas necessary.

Fintan said: “Governments around the world, including governments within the EU, have said the right things on certain levels in the last couple of years. The Irish government have certainly issued strong words and strong statements and they appear to be standing in solidarity with the people of Gaza. The problem is that these words have never been followed up by strong actions.”

He added: “The attack on the flotilla was a microcosm of the daily violence inflicted on the people of Gaza and Israel needs to be put in the dock for what it did. The Israeli massacre only served to highlight the brutal nature of their enforcement of the siege and has put the spotlight firmly on what is currently happening in Gaza.”

Following the address by the three guest speakers, the meeting was opened up to the audience for a lively question and answer session.
