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.

Continuity IRA denies part in Omagh bomb

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday August 14, 2003 03:48author by Ailín - Republican Report this post to the editors

The Continuity IRA has denied that it co-operated with the Real IRA in carrying out the Omagh bombing in 1998.
The claim that both dissident groups acted together was made by FBI agent David Rupert in the recent trial in Dublin of Michael McKevitt, the Real IRA leader found guilty of directing terrorism.

But the Continuity IRA says it “totally refutes” the claim it was involved in “tragic events at Omagh.”

Describing the McKevitt case as a “political show trial in the Stalinist style”, the Continuity IRA statement said: “We wish to totally refute these absurd lies uttered by this mercenary and, for the record, we wish to state that we played absolutely no part in the preparation or carrying out of this atrocity.”

Pointing out that Rupert was “paid millions by a foreign power”, CIRA claimed he was “prepared to do and say anything in an attempt to blacken the name of our organisation with the stain of Omagh.”

“Unfortunately, he is not alone, since there are also some apparently subservient journalists who are prepared to engaged in the same sordid tactics,” said the CIRA.

of course they hadnt anything to do with omagh, theyre too busy drugdealing in limerick and selling cira weaponry to any criminal scrote that can come up with the weaponry.

any with regards to the dads army cira statement , they would say that wouldnt they.

looks like rupert was right in one regard, rsf are lets talk, lets plan but lets not do anything in case we get put in jail!

author by iosafpublication date Thu Aug 14, 2003 22:33author address author phone Report this post to the editors

if so why doesn't their press officer make the release? Or are you their press officer?
And whilst I'm at it does the RIRA have a political wing and a press officer?
It really was much simpler back when Mr O'neill would make the statements and there was only one IRA which got called PIRA by the unionists, and of course we all _knew_ there had been an Official IRA but they had got stuck in history somewhere and of course they all were different from the "old" IRA who somehow just dissolved when Fianna Fail entered the Dail.
¿can you imagine how difficult it is to explain these things to foreigners?
I mean Ailin if the CIRA and RIRA are so interested in the "just for the record" wouldn't they like to avoid the confusion as well?
So....could you just let the CIRA and RIRA know that it would help lots like if they renamed themselves. INLA of course is taken as too is IPLO hmmm....
any suggestions?

Notice that the British government has NOT denied that any of its FRU/Real IRA agents were involved in the Omagh bomb.

Let me help you out, the CIRA, are an ultra secretive shadowy branch of the SDLP, under the pretext of being respectable pillar of society professionals supporting the peace process, they then, are able to phone in numerous elaborate bomb hoaxs across northern ireland.

Many are rich bored catholic and church of ireland buisness men, who drive 4*4's and idle their spare time away phoning in bomb hoaxes from the safety of their buisness executive conference halls. Are you following me.

Ive no idea were the source of that denial is coming from but its not the first denial on the subject by CIRA Theres barely a republican in Ireland bar the youngest and most gullible of CIRAs support base that believes the above denial about CIRAs involvement in Omagh . The denial is patent nonsense .

I have not seen 1 piece of proof that any CIRA people in Limerick or anywhere else are involved in the drugs trade.
In fact from speaking to Republican Sinn Féin people (the political wing) the CIRA are very anti drugs.

Not 1 CIRA member has ever been found with any drugs at all. So how do you make them out to be dealers??

Omagh was the Real IRA.
There is nothing to suggest the the Continuity had anything to do with it,

But the CIRA collaborated in the operation. The CIRA delivered the bomb to the spot. But the intended parking space for the carbomb was taken so the CIRA member parked the car outside of a shop owned by a member of the orange order. The car should have been dumped in the countryside. All of those involved bear responsibility for the ensuing deaths. but the major blame lies with he who driven by atavistic sectarianism left the bomb outside of the shop.
