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.

Paisley addresses Ahearn in EU Parliament

category national | eu | news report author Wednesday January 14, 2004 11:57author by sly - lp Report this post to the editors

Following Bertie Ahearn addresse to the European Parliament this morning, a number of Irish MEPs sopke to the house.

Ian Paisley MEP made the most outspoken remark. He said he welcomed the Irish Presidency for one reason only, that it would mean the 'Dublin government' spending less time in the affairs of Northern Ireland due its heavy workload over the next 6 months. He also made a comment about human rights in the EU, mentioning only one incident, the rights of individuals who have been abused by Catholic priests. He particularitly highlighted the Irish Republic and the role of the Taosieach in defending the Church.

Avril Doyle speaking later condemned his remarks, with applause from the chamber. She also made reference to the Taosieachs claim that Ireland is closer to Boston than Berlin, from which she distanced herself, and called on the Irish government to address the reduction in spending in Irish Universities.

Also addressing the Taosieach Proinias de Rossa, highlighted the need for the Irish Presidency to push through EU legislation on temporary/agency workers, which is currently being stalled. He followed up by calling on the government to focus on poverty reduction in the third world, inparticular debt reduction. The plight of the Palestinians and the situation of the Guantanamo Bay prisoners were also raised by de Rossa.

was the Italian Silvio Burlosconi.
I am not sure if the news has broken in Ireland yet, but the Italian Supreme Court has overturned the immunity bill passed by Burlosconi last year as being unconstitutional.

Burlosconi is now to face charges again.
on corruption and corruption and corruption, with a good dollop of murder and theft thrown into the accomplices.

Also his attempt to control all TV has now been stopped as well.

Burlosconi has survived many times before, but we might be forgiven this time in thinking the "tide is finally turning".
= AUGURI!
(more details later...)

God (hopefully) will shut him up pretty soon.

Strange remark from Bertie on the Boston v. Berlin thing considering he was speaking to the EU parliament whilst Ireland held its presidency.

Hopefully the next time Paisley gets in a rant he will keel over and his dinosaur heart will fail.
but, even though he's a sectarian bigoted wanker, i must admit he has given irish nationalists great entertainment over the years, with quotes such as
"i'm not prejudice against Catholics, I just don't like them"

What a comic! The poor old soul gets funnier and funnier, the less power he has. He should get his own stand-up programme on TV: "The No Show!". Give the man an award - he's hilarious!

Well you young Papist I'd hate to make you down cast but you had best remember that I am the leader of the LARGEST unionist party in Northern Ireland.
The loyal people of Ulster will never yield to the Communist Papist Satanic conspiracy of Sinn Fein / IRA.
It is quite clear that the MAJORITY of people in Northern Ireland vote for political parties who are democratic and loyal to Her Majesty Elizabeth II the Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and do not have pirvate armies.
That will remain that way as long as I have breath in my body and as long as God Almighty sustains me!
ULSTER SAYS NO!
Laugh at that PUNK!
