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.

New anti-racism education website

category national | racism & migration related issues | news report author Sunday February 26, 2006 22:04author by Garrett Mullan - Show Racism the Red Cardauthor email info at theredcard dot ieauthor address 30 Parnell Square, Dublin 1 Report this post to the editors

Football Anti-racism

Sports Stars shocked at racism

"FIX," snorted an urchin at the back, his voice rich with Dublin devilment and just a touch of disappointment.

Like most young lads in the large, sweltering room, he'd had his eyes on the prize, a soccer ball signed by Liverpool's UEFA Cup-winning heroes.

Yet the winning ticket was held by Adetoyese Kemi, a student at The Kings Inn Secondary School for girls.

Of course it wasn't a fix. Just a delicious twist of fate which brought yesterday's formal launch of soccer's "Show Racism the Red Card" campaign in Ireland to a splendid conclusion.

With 20,000 free posters of the Republic of Ireland team and an educational CD-Rom available for distribution to schools, the campaign is making a determined effort to educate the nation's children through sport.

Reporting mechanism to monitor racism

An important feature of the newly launched Show Racism the Red Card website is its report card. Co-ordinator Garrett Mullan said: "We believe there is serious underreporting of racist incidences in Ireland. In the UK 52,000 racist incidences were recorded last year while only 81 were counted here. We hope that there is a high level of awareness about our campaign and from this we can begin to assess more accurately the prevalence of racism in Ireland".

The trend for pseudo anti racism continues..., people who pay lip service to anti-racism/fascism, to promote their buisness interests.

Take the case of the alleged anti-racist band Runnin riot, who refused to play at an anti-racist gig in the north, boo hoo, 'Colin runnin riot' was scared God bless him, after all bad nazis might hurt his delicate body and we can't have that.

Yet Runnin riot sells records and promotes itself on the coat tails of real Anti-fascist bands like 'The Oppressed'. When Runnin riot go down south its ok for them to associate with anti-fascists and anti-racists but it is a different story when they are up north. Afterall they might get hurt up north, so its ok for them to abandon their principles.

It says on your site that you want racist stories.

Why not start with the recent "Keep Ireland White" Referendum?

Sensible citizenship.

It'll probably be sensible fucking next.

I see that your DVD costs €30 including post and packaging and according to the blurb will educate me about racism.

Wow 15 whole minutes on the topic. You spoil us.

Then the rest is composed of old footage and old opinions.

Would you mind publishing a breakdown of your costs with reference to this DVD and where the money goes when you have shifted your product.

I would see this as a serious attempt at fighting racism, if the costs and profits broke down respectfully. I do not see the McDonalds approach in good light. Sports heros tying their names to good causes normally means the normal punter gives up helping once he sees a celeb take over the cause. I cannot think of any good cause a celeb has bettered.

Remember make poverty history and before that feed the world.

And remember celebs are celebs because they entertain. This should not be considered a qualification in anything else.

Wanna stop racism? Tell the FAI to stop victimising the children of this country with their frequent kit changes and all the rest of their parasitic tactics. Gotta stop being a racist before you presume to tell others to stop. Clean your house before you clean the street.

Sláinte,
Seán Ryan

would be interested to know what Show Racism the Red Card are doing, except giving people an generally ineffective outlet to tell people that 'RACISM IS WRONG!'

By the way, why was the fact that the Liverpool ball went to a girl a "delicious twist of fate"?
