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.

1916 Rising in Galway

category galway | crime and justice | event notice author Sunday March 20, 2005 18:24author by JFC - Galway Labour History Group Report this post to the editors

Public lecture, Town Hall Theatre, 8.30 pm

On Tuesday, 25 April 1915, about 600 poorly-trained & poorly-armed young people reported for duty in the Athenry / Oranmore / Gort district of Co Galway. It was the only major mobilisation of the 1916 rebellion outside of Dublin. Who were these young people & what did they hope to achieve?

Answers to these and other questions will by provided by Fergus Campbell, author of a new book entitled 'Land & Revolution: Nationalist Politics in the West of Ireland, 1891-1921', recently published by Oxford University Press.

Admission is free to the lecture, which is hosted by the Galway Labour History Group, and all are welcome

If you accept the position currently being spouted by McDowell and the media they were nothing less than common criminals and scum.

Ask McDowell if he thinks his grandfather, Eoin MacNeill, was a criminal. After all he had no democratic mandate.

The men and women of 1916 were actual revolutionaries. They declared British rule in Ireland to be illegitimate and engaged in a revolutionary armed struggle against it .

Sinn Fein have accepted British rule as legitimate and signed up to the GFA. They have eagerly allowed themselves to become a central part of the administering of British rule in Ireland. Just recently they even called for an ALLIANCE between the British govt and "nationalist Ireland" in order to bypass the unionists and get the British govt structures here up and running again !!! And there wasnt even a whimper of protest from within their ranks at this unprecedented offer of collaboration. Never before has a so called republican organisation offered to step in and shore up British rule when it appeared utterly unworkable and defunct.

While there is no doubt that scumbag McDowell would denounce and jail the men and women of 1916, its worth remembering what Adams and McGuinness would do as well.

They would also smear them as criminals, try and have them abducted, threatened, murdered or beaten. They would also declare they had no democratic mandate , denounce them as a "micro-group" and no doubt call them "securocrat puppets" also if they endangered the peace process.

McDowell is only doing exactly the same things and using exactly the same tactics as Adams and McGuiness have done to those republicans who refuse to accept British rule on this island.

Morally there is more in common between those leaders who have collaborated with British rule here than with the men and women of 1916.

Oranmore was by no means the "the only major mobilisation of the 1916 rebellion outside of Dublin."

If you did the tiniest bit of reseach you would know that THE major mobilisation of the 1916 rebellion outside of Dublin at Ashbourne where a force of 70 RIC were defeated by Thomas Ashe.

Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford was also taken by rebels and held until news of failure in Dublin.

Who expects the whole story in a short announcement?
And regarding 'major mobilisations', there were ten times as many Volunteers 'out' in co. Galway as there were in Ashbourne

His statue still stands close to Eyre Square ... even though his memory has all but been airbrushed out of history ......

"You have murdered our brave Liam and Rory
You have cut down young Richard and Joe
And your hands with their blood are still gory
Fulfilling the work of the foe !"

Aye indeed. Nearly as good as "Ballyseedy" ....

I noticed on my last visit to Kilmainham that they have even started putting up plaques to the victims of the Civil War who were "executed" by the Free State (mostly without any semblance of judicial process) ..... still some catching up to do ....

BACK THEN UPON THAT ONE-WAY BLOOD-SOAKED TRAIL

Touchy little fellow aren't you?

Nobody was asking for the full story -You said "the ONLY major mobilisation".

Still standing by that tabloid-like soundbite then then are you?

And Devil Dog, throwbacks like you have a nerve seeing as your own reactionary politics are stuck in the mid-18th century.
