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.

I'm a Canadian citizen,born and raised in Canada,who qualified from medical school in Ireland in 2004. I have been working in Ireland as a doctor for the last two years and have done my best to offer the best medical care to citizens in Ireland. After being in Canada for holidays,I had to fly back to Ireland,due to the fact that I had a job offer in an Irish hospital starting in July. My flight had transiting through Heathrow,London,England,but unfortunately,I was denied entry to Ireland by Irish immigration officials,and thus i was deported back to Canada later that evening.I am in Canada at the moment, quite disillusioned and disheartened. read full story / add a comment

For many people who do not read Private Eye - it is just the magazine that is always being sued. This is because the only time the public ever hears about it is when the newspapers report that a libel writ has been issued or an out of court settlement has been reached. The impression is therefore widespread that Private Eye is constantly being bombarded with writs and at any moment it would go out of business as a result (1979: Goldenballs book Richard Ingrams)............ read full story / add a comment

Almost 210 years ago on the 23rd of May 1798 the largest popular republican rising in Irish history began. Across the island tens of thousands fought under the banner of the United Irishmen. Hundreds of thousands had been sworn into the organization in the preceding four years. On four occasions revolutionary France sent thousands of troops to aid the rebellion, the United Irishmen had built contacts with revolutionary republicans across the globe, including the USA, France, Hamburg and England.

The response of the British state to the rise of the United Irishmen was a brutal counterinsurgency campaign that stirred up sectarian conflict on the island. 1798 thus came to shape much of the political struggles that took place in the following centuries. read full story / add a comment

To Precede this 'Opinon and Analysis' on the Constitutional crisis of May and June
2006 and right up to this election, I want to state that the statute which came about
as a result of emergency legislation equally mitigates against the 12-17 year old
pre-consent boy; but the sub-title of the piece is focussed on the creation of an
under-class. The collapse of the 1935 legislation which came about as a direct
result of the Laffoy Judgement on the 'A' case led to the introduction of the Criminal Law
(Sexual Offences) Bill 2006, (amended 2007), this included the insertion of the
unconstitutional section 5 into the statute, which still stands , without repeal and
without re-visit. read full story / add a comment

This is just a short Opinon and analysis, because details are sketchy and
the Irish Times has the story. COSC was set up rather rapidly by the Dept of
Justice in the run-up to the General election.

It involved a reply to the burgeoning problem of violence against women
and was set up under the aegis of 'Equality'- there seems to be a problem
with the issue , as last night a press release from combined Violence
against women campaigns including Amnesty, The Rape Crisis Network,
the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre and other concerned Non-Governmental
Organisations asked for it's remit to be published and for it's work to be
stopped. read full story / add a comment

"The Primary focus of a small piece like this would generally be accompanied by the two images which I had considered putting up, but everyone who is regarding the debasement of their culture in the face of Globalisation would have an image in mind that fulfills the picture

Esperanto and the libertarian movement

The purpose of this short article is, firstly, to inform readers of the benefits to be had learning the international language –Esperanto, secondly, to illustrate how the Esperanto movement, through the
efforts of its world body SAT (Sennacieca Asocio Tutmondo, or non-national world association of
Esperanto) is strongly committed to the fight for workers’ rights worldwide, and against the rise of
global capitalism, and finally to look ahead to the possibility of forming a Workers’ Esperantist Movement throughout Ireland. read full story / add a comment

The Inter-Faith Roundtable is a loose affiliation of people of different beliefs (from Christians, to Muslims, Hindus to Sikh etc) who seek to promote peace, tolerance, respect and understanding between the creeds and those of none. We believe that integration is an essential part of that process, as the lessons of Europe so starkly indicate. read full story / add a comment
