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.

offsite link AI Reach: Gemini Reasoning Question of God Sat Aug 02, 2025 20:00 | Mind Agent
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

offsite link China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
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 Informer Launched

New e-zine from YFG

Young Fine Gael have launched an new e-zine called the Infomer which is available from the Link below.

Who proof reads this ? One minute we are told Michael Collins would 'still' be a card carrying member of Fine Gael were he still alive but in the next story readers are advised he was dead before Fine Gael was founded. Some confusion surely.
Collins is nonetheless claimed by YFG as one of their own, though topping Henry Wilson seems to be frowned upon. To the best of my knowledge Collins saw the execution of Wilson as being totally justified and as far as I am aware never changed his position. Hard to imagine therefore Collins being seen as fit to serve in Government if still alive . Just as well then FG and 'Interesting Enda' have no chance of seizing power as otherwise YFG might have to dump the Collins worship act.

“This month, 21st January in fact, represents the 86th Anniversary of the inaugural meeting of Dáil Eireann. It took place in the Mansion House shielded from an outside world in upheaval and trauma as the birth pains of a growing emerging new state began. It is historic fact that the true birth date of Irish democracy, as we know and love it today, can be traced to this date and this event, the realisation of Arthur Griffith’s policy of abstaining from Westminster and having a democratic Irish parliament, and not the bloody episode of 1916 or even that tragic events at Soloheadbeg that same Tuesday 21st January 1920, no matter how romanticised or even mythological these have become."

Where do these people come from? Are they ignorant of the dymamic of Irish History? King Arthur Griffith (he of the Dual Monarchy) and his abstentionist policies was irrelevant prior to 1916. The Sinn Fein that won the seats in 1918 was a completely new party formed through a series of fusions. There wouldnt have been any First Dail to meet in 1919 if it hadnt been for the events of 1916. It looks as if the junior Blueshirts now want to wash their hands of the War of Independence as well.

Any romance or mythology here is coming from FG.

/QUOTE:
YFG Autonomy
By Matthew Bruton

Much has been made of our autonomy and how great we are to have it while others do not. But it is my belief that it is in fact doing more harm than good and we should in fact try to change it.
...
Most people outside Fine Gael do not see a difference between Young Fine Gael and the senior party, especially the older generation. And so the image that we give off reflects badly on the senior party, if it offends large sections of society.

We have to realise that politics is about all aspects and sections of society.
:UNQUOTE/

Rumour on the street says that Rosanna Flynn from Residents Against Racism will soon be giving a speech to Young FG.

If true, perhaps this is a good sign for YFG's 'autonomy'

no harm to Lucinda but she looks a bit old to still be in YFG. Can't help but imagine her dream of a trip to Iraq would involve flying a jet and disposing of a few nasties. If the somewhat optimistic vision of electoral progress comes true she may in coalition with Mc Dowell and the PDs get the chance to get stuck into a few baddies up near the artificial entity which is the border.

irony is dead certainly and the title of the fg publication just rubs the point in on top of the ashes between the eyes(balls).
