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.

Protest against the Michelle Bachelet "capitalist approved socialist regime" in Chile have been underway for weeks now. The focus being the proposed educational system reforms which will effect mostly secondary level students.

Those same students have started to take to the streets, where indeed their future leadership will meet. As has been noted and made apparant, we may no longer look to the recruitment human resources of corporations or even the three dismal university faculties of law, economics and journalism for the qualities which are required to bring our planetary inter-connected peoples to a sustainable and just future.

And during today's nation wide stoppage of all secondary schools these teenagers found themselves facing tear gas, water cannon and brutal police repression. None of them can remember Pinochet.

Section 1(1) of the 1935 Criminal Law (Amendment Act), was declared unconstitutional last week in relation to a case wherein a man claimed that at the time of the 'unlawful carnal knowledge' of a minor, of which he was convicted, he believed that she was of age. Yesterday's judgement by Ms justice Mary Laffoy in another case involving a then, 38 year old man and twelve year old girl had no choice but to take this section of the act into account, but to reject the whole section of the act in toto.
Coverage of the Judgement is splashed all over the corporate media this morning. The issue of lack of protections for the child herein, scrape the surface of the failure of this administration through consistent legislative failures which encompass not alone the Dept of Justice, but also the Dept of Education. The administration as a whole with regard to Church /State indemnity, the collapse of the Laffoy Commission and this Latest fiasco which leaves our most vulnerable citizens at risk. read full story / add a comment

By any other name

Tonight's Channel 4 news lapsed into Newspeak again in a report on the killing of women and children by coalition forces in Iraq.

It is over two years now since the full extent of the torture in Abu Ghraib was revealed. And following the recent revelations of US executions of civilians, the reporters could not make this connection more obvious. As if 'scandalous' war crimes have not been committed since then. As if these incidents exist in isolation. read full story / add a comment

The publication of the Arts act 2003, by ex Minister for justice , Equality and Law reform , Mr John O Donoghue TD only received passing comment by corporate media at the time. The Irish Times referred to the Act in Terms of Dilution of the independence of the Arts Council by the new act which for the first time since the foundation of the State allowed a Minister or the Government to set the agenda for artistic expression in the State.
The full act is available at this Link:

I have sent the following letter to the various leaders involved with the Peace Process in Northern Ireland. I am asking for an explaination, why the people of Ulster are being forced into allowing known terrorists, to help govern the country that they have tried to destroy for thirty years. As yet I have not received a reply from any of them. Is the question to difficult to answer or maybe there isn't one. read full story / add a comment

Historic movies about ireland seem to always make it big on the big screen but at what costs? Whose authorisation is required ? What about the famine? The mass grave where 5000 poor of the district were buried near my house is also a story to tell! Why can't a fim maker make a movie about the great famine? So that Irish Americans can see what their forefathers lived through before emigrating to the USA. This is a story that needs to be told! From the fact that the people were to starve, food supplies they needed withdrawn from them, workhouses, emigration aboard coffun ships etc. The world needs to know!!! read full story / add a comment

This is an important but disturbing video from Portland which shows the way the cops film people in the crowd at demonstrations and go out of their way to zoom in on particular features so as to identify people who are just exercising their democratic rights. They also go out of their way to instruct their camera crews to follow and film anyone who is masked up or covering their face in any way. read full story / add a comment

American fiddle player Geof Bard, a generalist known to appear at an occasional Irish sessions on the US west coast, occasionally attacks a guitar, and has been blasting Blair on the airwaves with his fiddle and this adaptation of WIJ, a tune which is occasionally, erroneously known in the states as "Killkenny Mountain".
