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.

Another Moyross in the making?

How Kildare County Council treats it's tennants.

For a long period of time I have been trying to get Kildare County Council to address issues in the housing estate where I live with no success.
All I'm asking for is for the Council to implement their own rules which can be seen here:
http://kildare.ie/CountyCouncil/Housing/TenantInformati...n.PDF
As a consequence of their failure I have decided to put a website together to highlight the way ordinary tenants are ignored.
A huge bonfire was constructed and light at Halloween and as a result the estate is strewn with debris from the fire and to date 06-11-06 no clean up effort has been made.
Photos of the mess can be seen here:

Coz part of my professional activity is being an "educator". Which means I put butter on my bread by teaching kids music a few hours a week. The other "educators" at the gig were mostly proper ones you know the type - "secondary school teachers" , and about a thousand assembled to shout under the "S.O.S. bullying" banner in Barcelona. (c/f http://www.anpebcn.com/sosbullying.html ).
I think it's very interesting that these teachers have chosen to borrow the word "bullying" from english and link it up to the now established campaign umbrella "S.O.S." which is perhaps best known for "S.O.S. racism" a huge network that covers France, the Spanish state & Portugal tacking racism in all its ugly guises. These latest protests have been prompted by an ugly rash of incidents in the Spanish state recently. Most occured in the more "deprived" southern Andalucia but one did occur in my local Catalonia - & none of these incidents are that strange unfortuanately anymore. I'm leaving this comment here now under the only Moyross thread on indymedia ireland for a reason. . Basically the incident which sparked off the outrage hit our telly screens about a fortnight ago. A secondary school teacher in Andalucia (the deep south of Spain) confiscated a packet of cigarettes from a 14 year old kid. That kid then demonstrated a full range of kick-boxing skills & as you'd put it :- "bate the shite out of the teacher". Happens all the time apparantly - 45% of secondary school teachers in the Spanish state avow that they have experienced threats of physical violence from their students in the last year. But the new twist which makes all this so "21st century" was the fact that the little Thai boxer's pals decided to video the whole thing on their mobile phones. Thereafter the young useful citizens in the making (but still with immunity from prosecution because of their tender age) offered the Spanish telly networks the recordings for 100€ a pop.
This is not the first time the snuff mentality which I for one trace back to the Islamist execution videos & Abu Ghraib abuse of the Iraq war as much as violent video games has raised its head. I remember coming up to Chrismas 2005 a pair of very well heeled teenagers "video taped" with mobile phones their attack on a homeless woman who was sleeping in a bank lobby near their home. They covered her in lighter fluid & burnt her to death.

This emergent violence only seems to reach headlines when there's a "kicking image" accompanying it or some "shock factor" mostly of extremist class or political nature accompanying it. I think of the recent story of Russian neo-nazi gangs attacking migrants & gypsies which I believe has even reached the telly news screens of Ireland. But this violence is not to be ignored. We need to deal with it & soon.
