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.

The delusional EU believes it can wield carbon tariffs as weapons. But its grandiloquent Net Zero scheme is destined to collapse under the weight of the bloc's utter economic irrelevance, says Tilak Doshi.

CorK Emergency

category cork | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Sunday April 10, 2005 14:13author by Israel Finnerty - concerned citizenauthor email izzofinno at gmail dot comauthor address Corkauthor phone 086 1674627 Report this post to the editors

Lee Fields has been divided in two!

I DONT beleive what Ive just seen.
I was walking on my way to work this lovely Sunday morning along my usual route. When I arrived at Lee Fields I was shocked, horrified and appalled.
THEVE DIVIDED IT IN TWO.


If your familiar with CorK youll know the Kingsley hotel. Well theve recently built an extension on to it, closely overlooking Lee Fileds.

Now theyve constucted a barrier about 10 feet into Lee Fields cutting off the public walkway and hiding the river Lee right back up to the hydroelectectric dam yoke.

I could not believe what I was seeing. I jumped the gate cutting of my public right to walk on public land, and investigated. I found loads of timber and a JCB track on the grass.

Some of the railing had also been removed to allow an entrance way into the Kingsley.

WE cannot allow this to happen.

As a sign of protest i started banging a beat onto the timber sheeting thats blocking the river. Unfortunately I had to leave to get to work for 12. I fully intend to go back down for another beat after work finishes at 8. (Thats 8pm Sunday the 10th of April 2005)

If anyone cares to join me you are more than welcome.

Ill probably head down some evenings during the week to make some more noise. (You can get a fairly good sound out of those wooden panels)

My number is 086 1674627 if you need to ring me.

See you down there

Noticing and responding to the constant infringement of our lanscape and public space by "development" and "progress". Well done. I'll have a look next time i go by, maybe remove a panel or three. Incidentally I heard that there were some dodgy dealings in the Kingsley gaining possesion of that land in the first place. it used to be a public swimming pool. Oh for a community alert and awake enough to respond effectively to every case like this. Keep at it we'll beat em yet.

An activist named Pat Wall used to be very good at this dort of thing - and at getting free Guiness in Dublin.

Ok so, the Lee Fields barricade is still up.

The planning permission decision is due tomorrow the 21st of April. Im hoping that with the few complaints they received they'll tell the Kingsley to rip it down.

However a back up plan is also handy. Seeing as its public property we could take down the barrier and walk around the land that used to belong to the people of Cork.

If anyone is interested in lending a hand my email address is above.

I wonder if Karma had anything to do with the Kingsley being closed for so long.

You could say that they took the land away from nature as well as the people of Cork.

The people of Cork did very little. Nature did quite a bit.

Is that what you get for greed?

It's what you get when you permit an underground car park to be build next to a major river and across the road from the HQ of Cork Co. Council. Insurance won't ever cover it again. Hotel should never have been permitted there.
A five-year old wouldn't do it!! And the Glucksman(UCC) stored it's art undergound, next to a river. Ireland is rearing them!!
Any updates on the UCC V ESB courtcase??
