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.

"Is the Irish Media Hideously White?"

category dublin | arts and media | event notice author Monday September 25, 2006 18:23author by David Nevin - Suas Educational Development / Concernauthor email buildingunity at suas dot ie Report this post to the editors

Thursday, 28th September, 2006: Suas Educational Development (www.suas.ie) in conjunction with Concern (www.concern.net) will host a lunchtime panel discussion entitled “Is Irish Media Hideously White?” at 12 midday on Thursday 28th September in the Goethe Institute, 37 Merrion Square East, Dublin 2. The discussion will focus on Intercultural Integration in the Irish Media and the representation of non Irish national journalists in mainstream media in Ireland.

Is the Irish Media “Hideously White”?

Thursday, 28th September, 2006: Suas Educational Development (www.suas.ie) in conjunction with Concern (www.concern.net) will host a lunchtime panel discussion entitled “Is Irish Media Hideously White?” at 12 midday on Thursday 28th September in the Goethe Institute, 37 Merrion Square East, Dublin 2. The discussion will focus on Intercultural Integration in the Irish Media and the representation of non Irish national journalists in mainstream media in Ireland.

Ireland has very quickly become a cosmopolitan of colours and cultures in recent years. This has impacted greatly upon society and how we see ourselves as a nation. In an interview with BBC Radio Scotland in 2001, BBC Director General Greg Dyke accused the organisation of being “Hideously White”, claiming that it was unrepresentative of the ethnic make up of its viewers. Since this comment, the organisation has made more efforts to increase ethnic representation and diversity amongst its staff and programming.

Key speakers at the seminar in Dublin will discuss this topic and similarities between this situation and the Irish media. Speakers include, Ian O’ Doherty, Irish Independent; the National Union of Journalists; Dr. Gavan Titley of Maynooth University, John MacMahon, RTE and Izabela Chudzicka, City Channel. Karen Coleman, Foreign Editor, Newstalk 106fm will chair the discussion. Questions from the floor and open debate will be encouraged throughout the debate.

Commenting on the seminar, David Nevin of Suas said: “The Irish media has a key role to play at this time of transition. While there are many ethnic journalists working for ethnic papers and radio stations, few are seen in the mainstream media. The question that is posed at this seminar is whether mainstream print and programming is representative of the array of cultures now present in Ireland.”

The “Is Irish Media Hideously White?” seminar is taking place as part of the ‘Building Unity Through Diversity’ project which includes a series of events focusing on issues of interculturalism and diversity. The campaign coincides with the ‘1000 Families’ free photographic exhibition at Merrion Square from 13th September until 29th October. The exhibition consists of approximately 70 large images taken by acclaimed German photographer Uwe Ommer and featuring families from over 130 countries around the world.

To book a place at the seminar, please contact David Nevin, Suas at 01 662 1410 / buildingunity@suas.ie. For further information on the ‘Building Unity Through Diverstiy’ campaign and associated events, please log on to www.buildingunity.ie; www.suas.ie; www.concern.net.

How can this group say that RTE is 'Hideously White'? Isn't that a degrading statement against White people. Is it that they want Hideously Black people to present RTE television shows?

NGOs funded by your and mine taxmoney are hosting ridiculous events like this instead of doing what they are supposed to be:

In Suas case, promoting education
In Concern case; 'Third World' development.

Both eminently worthy causes.

What the above has to do with either is a mystery to me.
