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.

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.

World Vegetarian Day

category international | sci-tech | event notice author Monday September 27, 2004 03:44author by poster Report this post to the editors

Fare Day at Dublin Food Co-Op

Irish vegetarians and those interested in vegetarians will have a “Fare Day” on Sunday October 3rd to celebrate World Vegetarian Day.

Organised by the Vegetarian Society of Ireland, the one day event taking place in St. Andrew’s Resource Centre, Pearse Street, Dublin 2, from 12noon to 5pm, will be an emporium of culinary delights for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike and informative talks on topics such as:

Vegetarianism & The Environment, by Ita West, proprietor of the famous vegan guest house, Cussens Cottage, Kilmallock, Co. Limerick.

Stephen Walsh, renowned expert will give a talk on Veganism & Nutrition.

Tracey Culleton, author will take audiences through ‘Vegetarian Mother & Baby’.

The aim of World Vegetarian Day is to educate people on the benefits of a vegetarian diet and to celebrate and promote vegetarianism. The number of people turning to vegetarianism in Ireland is growing steadily for a variety of reasons, including health, environmental concerns and animal welfare issues.

Visitors can delight in a kaleidoscope of foods and products with everything from organically grown fruit and vegetables to animal fat free chocolate and vegetarian wine. (So don’t have a big lunch before your try and taste at the fare!!) Part of the attractions of World Vegetarian Day include on-going cookery demonstrations from chefs such as Tracy Culleton and Dee Higgs, authors of “Simply Vegetarian”, a cookbook with over 100 simple low cost recipes.

Admission €2.50 adults; €1.50 for OAPs, the unemployed, students, children between 7 and 14
years and VSI members, €6.00 for families, whilst children under 7 years are free.
