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.

Justice for the Bellanboy 3

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Thursday July 12, 2007 14:43author by Caoimhe - Dublin Shell to Sea Report this post to the editors

Justice for the Ballinaboy 3 GPO 2pm, Sat 14th July

Dublin Shell to Sea Public Protest against the jailing of the Bellanaboy 3 at 2pm this Saturday the 14th July.

In the summer of 2005 the high court jailed five Rossport men on foot of an injunction taken by tranational energy comapany, Shell. Public outrage at this injustice saw thousands of people taking part in protests all across the country - protests which ultimately led to Shell backing down and the release of the men.

Now two years later another three men from the Rossport area are facing jail, once again in relation to Shell's controvesial Corrib development and once again they will need thousands of people to take to the streets in support of their cause.

Dublin Shell to Sea are organising a protest on the island in the middle of O'Connell Street (across from the GPO) at 2pm on Saturday the 14th of July.

For those who care about the right of a community to peacefully protest and for those who care about what is happening to the Ireland's natural resources the time to make yourself heard is now!

Make sure and come along on Saturday and bring as much noise and colour as you can.

Following the protest an open public meeting will be held in Seomra Spraoi to plan how best to respond to this latest miscarriage of justice and abuse of Garda power in Rossport.

There is a need now for a large and definitive response to let the Garda Síochána know that while our government may be happy to sit back and allow this to continue there are many to whom this is unacceptable.

Seomra Spraoi is located at 4 Mary Street which is on the Luas Line to Heuston just past Capel St. It's the building with a To Let Sign on it.

Caoimhe I assume that was you that was on the radio this morning, you need to get real as there is no comparison for going to jail for the courage of your convictions (which can be said to be a laudible trait in a person such as the Rossport 5 case) and assaulting Gardai and expecting to get away with it because you believe you are right (ie the Bellanaboy 3) as you are calling them.

One look at the youtube vids of actions in Bellanaboy tells me that it is the luck of god that a protestor has not been killed by a passing truck, I suppose if this happens the Gardai will have pushed the person out and we will have more protesting.

Also people are getting sick and tired of this campaign and how it has been infiltrated by subversive elements and anarchaic elements.

Stay in your own counties and worry about them think of he carbon footprint you are laeving in your journeys to Mayo. Let Mayo people solve Mayo problems and all you dubs try to do something about the homeless problem in dublin and other such issues.

Get jobs and contribute positively and come down from your moral high ground to the real world. Get real people the gas is coming whether you like it or not. If we were in many other countries you would have had lots more to complain about re police behaviour. Leave well enough alone contribute to your own communities before trying to preach to us.

The three Erris fishermen are to be released on bail this evening while they are awaiting their appeal.

The protest tomorow will however go ahead, to highlight the continuing and intense harrassment of local campaigners in Erris by the Gardaí. These three fishermen are still facing potential imprisonment and we need to show the Gardaí that we will not be oppressed by them jailing us on trumped up charges,

So come tomorrow and show solidarity with all of the people in Erris who are on a daily basis facing enormous oppression, intimidation and harrassment.

All welcome

Bring colour, noise, yourself and everyone you know!

The conviction of the Porturlin 3 is wrongful & based only on the word of Gardai; if you had witnessed cops' behaviour at Bellanaboy you'd not endorse the imprisonment of local people trying to protect their own families & homeland. The gas can be processed safely at sea, which is all those with the courage & savvy to resist Shell & Government current plans are asking for.

When and where will the appeal be heard?
