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.

That must make you guys hacks!!
So if I support the Irish lads in the British Army I suppose you would call me a squaddie.

Tom suggests approaching the appropriate authorities re. police brutality. Sorry Tom - you and your collegues are no longer, (if you ever were) the appropriate authorities. Get back to us when you're accountable. And as for McVerry - he's got integrity. Get yourself a dictionary officer.

"How are the gRdai expected to deal with corrupt members if people dont provide evidence to help get them out of the force??"

We dont have anyone to give the evidence to the gardai are policed by their co-workers, make a complaint against one of them and you are likely to become a target for them all

How are the toothless complaints board expected to investigate complaints when the cops give them the two fingers, the comments of Peter McVerry re homeless people are one hundred per cent correct.
I am not the country's champion church goer, but Peter McVerry is one cleric I would have respect for, he operates on the ground floor with the homeless and vulnerable, fairs dues to him.

Hey Tom, given the refusal of the Gardai to identify each other in the May 6th RTS footage maybe you should be asking yourself (woops ... them) that question?

author by Tompublication date Thu Nov 28, 2002 15:48author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Fr Mc Verry is a strange character. He lives with a lot of young boys up in Mc Donagh Tower and never says a Mass! His Order has more or less abandoned him and shun any press queries about his role and where he gets his finance from if he has no parish income.
It is indeed strange that he castigate an entire organisation if just a handful of members break the rules. Surely he would be upset if the media castigate every priest and being a paedophile when we know the vast majority are very hard working honourable persons. Why does he do to others what he does not like being done to himself?????
If Fr Mc Verry has evidence he should present same to the appropriate authorities. How are the gRdai expected to deal with corrupt members if people dont provide evidence to help get them out of the force??

I've been working with homeless people in Dublin for most of the past decade, and I can confirm that many of those living on the street are subject to frequent attacks by Gardai. There seems to be a perception in the Gardai that theres a differant set of rules for homeless people - they're "fair game" for brutality, and have no come back. They are vulnerable, with no come back - and if they attempt to complain, they are subject to further harrasment from Gardai. On the streets the Gardai rule, and on their own terms. Its pretty rough out there.

I've been approached by homeless people I know many times with the question "What can I do - its happening all the time" Usualy there are no witnessess, and its the word of a street person against that of a police man or woman. Approaching the complaints board seems pointless. I dont know what to tell them.
