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.

Anti-Racism World Cup launched in Belfast

category antrim | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday June 16, 2009 22:50author by Ciarán Ó Brolcháin - ARWCauthor email antiracismworldcup at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

The 3rd annual Anti-Racism World Cup was launched in west Belfast today, with a host of participants set to make it the best tournament yet.
Anti-Racism World Cup 2009
Anti-Racism World Cup 2009

The World Cup will kick-off on July 31 and continue until August 2 and is timed to coincide with the opening of Féile an Phobail, the West Belfast Festival.

Among the countries that will be represented at this year’s World Cup are: Ghana, Italy, Germany, the Congo, Palestine, Poland, China, the Philippines, Lebanon, England, Scotland, Portugal, Kurdistan, the Basque Country, Catalonia and, of course, Ireland.

Community groups, schools, anti-racism activists, individuals and World Cup participants from across Belfast and further afield today gathered at Donegal Celtic Football Club’s Suffolk Road ground to launch the event.

The tournament was established by local activists in conjunction with international friends and comrades in 2007 and launched by the late Bob Doyle, veteran of the Spanish Civil War. Since then the tournament has gone from strength to strength, with more countries being represented by teams and more organisations throwing their support behind the World Cup and its progressive ethos.

I don’t think the racists against the Roma will mind, there does not appear to me to be any Roma people attending or participating, and nothing in this article gives any indication to me as to whether they were even invited to participate or attend.

Racism and sectarianism are rampant in Belfast. I have found it to be an intolerant and divisive city in the extreme, despite all the expensive t.v. advertisements displaying Belfast people with no tradition or culture (do such Belfast people exist?) doing nothing more than shopping and having the craic, and only welcoming any foreigner amadán enough to buy them a drink (that last bit could be true of a few, I suppose).

I recall my close encounter with Belfast intolerance in modern times, when I was declared a ‘Fenian Bitch’ by a man glaring at me from across a street - this declaration was bizarrely meant as a very ‘grave’ insult to me. I have great respect for the inspiring Fenians, but I was shocked by this sudden attack of backwardness in broad daylight given the fact that: I am not old enough to be a genuine member of the Fenians (otherwise, I would be entered in the ‘Guinness Book of Records‘) - as the much esteemed historic Fenians have not been recruiting for some time! It is, surely, all too embarrassing to witness such blatant ignorance and primitive sectarianism displayed openly on a street in modern times.

Racist/sectarian attacks do absolutely nothing to enhance this island’s reputation worldwide, but leaves an ugly stain on the places where these attacks occur/and are permitted to occur, and brand all who express no outrage, as both racist and backward.

Ádh mór oraibh/Best of luck to all who are participating in the ‘Anti-Racist World Cup’.

Sláinte chugaibh!
