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.

SF challenge to Unionists on united Ireland referendum

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday December 06, 2002 00:29author by SF questioner Report this post to the editors

Mitchell McLoughlin challenged Unionists to say if they would respect the result of a referendum if NI vote for a united Ireland.

SF put down a challenge to Unionists asking if they would respect a result on a United Ireland referendum.

SF obviously are considering the possiblity of 1 million protestants being coerced into a united Ireland. They must see this as a problem. The fact is that the protestants will not accept a united Ireland on the basis of rule by the likes of FF-SF-FG-PD.

Do Sinn Fein not see their complete lack of appeal to protestants as a problem? is excluding a protestants not ultimatly a barrier to a united Ireland that they desire so much. Will someone in SF please tell me why they want a united Ireland that will be run by FF-FG etc. What's the point of a united Ireland if it means the re-partition and civil war? What is the point in a united Ireland that will not have a proper health care system, education etc.

In a couple of poorly written sentences referring to some theoretical idea about Sinn Féin and our policies which bears no relation to reality but are instead a below average attempt to get a row ging for no good reason you have convinced me that I should leave Sinn Féin.

You're absolutely right, a united Ireland with crap services run by FF/FG/Labour/PD is largely pointless. Maybe we should turn SF into a party that wants a United Ireland with crap services run by Bertie Ahern just so that you can post something to Indymedia that has a shred of truth or credible political analysis in it. Alternatively you could educate yourself but it's so much easier to make stuff up.

Justin says "Maybe we should turn SF into a party that wants a United Ireland with crap services run by Bertie Ahern..."

I would have thought that's exactly what Gerry and Co. are actively trying to do, especially since you've abandoned the idea of a just struggle against the invader who has held our land in thrall for 800 years.

Stormont Never! - now you've your MLAs and your (temporarily suspended) Ministers.

Salaries from the Queen! - Never - well only a few dozen.

Offices in Westminster - Never! (well just for Gerry, Martin, Michelle and Pat)

Policing Committees - Never! (well maybe sometime soon)

Support FF in government - Never! (well only when Bertie gives us the call).

Vote for Bin Charges in Dublin - Oh no we didn't, we just missed the vote, and that was nearly two years ago anyway!

YE'VE SOLD OUT THE REPUBLIC...

It's somewhat difficult to take seriously some-one who uses the phrase 'invader who has held our land in thrall for 800 years' without a shred of irony.

hmmmm, Justin.. you cant take some who talks about "800 years of oppression" seriously... now now, i thought this was the shinners offical line. well it seems to be from every drunken republican i meet on my travels.

Considering that Sinn Feinn ignored the majority of people in the six counties who voted democratically to remain within the UK why should the unionists concede to "their" majority?
Does Dublin really want to pick up the bill for policing and security forces in the north?
