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.

Pro Choice protest at Dáil this evening

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Wednesday November 26, 2003 15:06author by Brendan Young - Alliance for Choice Report this post to the editors

Noise for Choice

There has been much public debate recently about stem cell research, using cells from human sources. Ignored and forgotten is the plight of women with crisis pregnancies, who for whatever good reason wish to terminate their pregnancies.

Alliance for Choice

‘Noise for Choice’

Wednesday November 26, 6pm
The Dáil, Kildare St.

The pro-choice group Alliance for Choice has called a pot-banging protest – ‘Noise for Choice’- outside the Dáil on November 26.

Commenting on the protest, an AfC spokesperson said:

“Amidst all of the furore about stem-cell research, the needs of Irish women with crisis pregnancies are being ignored. The Crisis Pregnancy Agency says that at least 10,000 Irish women have crisis pregnancies every year. We know that approximately two thirds of these – about 7,000 women – travel to Britain for abortions. Meanwhile Fianna Fáil and the PD’s spout platitudes about helping women with crisis pregnancies. But through the Information Act they make crisis situations worse by denying women access to information about clinics in Britain. And they refuse to provide services here for women who choose to terminate pregnancies, including victims of rape or incest, forcing them to go abroad. We condemn this hypocrisy and demand that the voices of Irish women be heard.”

Quote ends.

I think people should go along this evening because there will probably be a demonstration by members of Youth defence against stem cell research outside the dail at the same time and it would be important for the pro choice demonstrators to have support and protection in case the Youth defence people get antagonistic.

about 50 at AFC at Dail. No sign of YD.

No sign of TCDSP protest in TCD, UCD Anti Deportation Ctte were present. It wasnt just Ni Chonaill speaking , it was a debate on demise of Celtic Tiger. Garret Fitzgerald, Sheila Terry FG, Martin Mansergh FF and Michael Murray SBP were also speaking. I had to leave before Ni Chonaill spoke.

Apparently she refused to respond to points made by critics in the audience.

About 40 to 50 people turned up for the Noise 4 Choice event. It was freezing cold out so thank's a million to everyone for showing up. There was no sign of Youth Defense. We banged a few pots and pans and chanted pro choice slogans. I forgot I had my camera in my bag so I've no pictures :o(
Last night was the beginning of a new campaign of pro choice activities in Ireland. There's a lot going on with the continuing war in Iraq, bin taxes, Salonika 7 etc... and the issue of abortion services for Ireland seemed to have been neglected. It's not really that surprising since it's an issue that burns alot of people out, especially activists that have been campaigning since 1983! Were having a meeting on Saturday 29th November in the Teachers Club at 11am to discuss future pro choice events and activites and everyone is welcome (unless your a right wing religious nutter/Dana).
Future plans will be advertised here on Indymedia but if you've got some ideas about future actions/events then email alliance4choice@yahoo.fr

These little buggers should not have to move over for your older life. Give life a chance, and stop protesting for death. Over 55,00 million babies have been murdered to death in the US, a small number compared to the war casualties to oust Hussien.

Studies show women who have abortions are more depressed then the onces who carry them.

To me when a mother does not carry her own she is abandoning her baby, and should be brought up on charges.

Indymedia you are so left wing it is sick. You don't allow information on the illuminati or the cash transactions biochip, but allow support for death and communism. I'm sorry I every spent money in that sick Ireland. I pray I have to never go back to Europe ever. I hope we stop funding to your stupid NATO and the UN. It is a waste of money we do not have.

You should not call this site indymedia, because that is misleading. Stupid me, I know the Queen censors everything. I've known this for years, and excuse me for trying.

I guess all that money coming in from Soros is really changing things. Left or right your funding comes form the same sources.

A close friend of mine recently had an abortion due to serious health complications and if anything creates a depressive environment is self-rightous shits like you calling women murderers. Maybe get out of your safe little pulpit bubble and cop yourself on.

do you really think my friend should be brought up on charges?????? Thats the most stupid thing I have heard in a long long time. Whatever worn out dogma rag your reading from makes you sound like a fool.

So it was you who posted those two items.
'When Cash Is Only Skin Deep' was written by Julia Scheeres, and published on the 'rense' site on 25th November.
The article about the illuminati, Cecil Rhodes, and your friend Adolph was also taken from another site.
They were in breach of Irish indymedia guidelines as they were cross-posted. Instead of ripping off other people's work why not write something original yourself (if you are capable)
Your comment about funding is just further trolling. You are fully aware that Irish IMC is totally voluntary.
Now just troll off into the sunset.

Every foetus is a human being, even just a cluster of cells. It has a right to live and fulfill it's potential.

Abortion is murder, not a lifestyle choice.

You can't say life begins at a certian pint. It is a process. To say an embryo has an equal right to life as a fully grown women is a farce.

You are a very ignorant person. Every year 10,000 irish women have abortions in Britain. The chances are that a friend or relative of yours has had an abortion. Would you like to say that kind of crap to them?

You pro-baby-killing bastards make me sick to the pit of my stomach. You're worse than the people who supported the holocaust. No-one has the right to kill a child, for whatever reason. You so-called humanitarians make me want to vomit! I believe that if a woman does want to raise a child, she shouldn't have to just because of her gender. However, she should have to give birth to the child, after that it's up to her and the father (if he's interested) what to do. There a plenty of couples out there who can't have children for medical reasons. It just seems to me to be a waste of human life. In response, some of you pinkos might argue that a woman should not have to go through the pain of giving away her baby. In response, I say if she can bring herself to kill her child, she can bring herself to give it to someone who can look after it.
