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 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.

As RTE refuse to cover scandal of criminal and fraudulent behaviour of Independent Science Advisory Group pushing lockdowns, Senator Rónán Mullen reads scandal into Public Record

category national | crime and justice | news report author Wednesday March 10, 2021 23:29author by 1 of indy Report this post to the editors

ISAG leaked emails encourage members to "look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty"

On Tuesday (March 9th) Senator Rónán Mullen read into the public record of the Seanad as part of the Order of Business revealations about the fraudulent antics of leading members of the so called Independent Scientific Advocacy Group (ISAG) who have spent inordinate amount of time on the national media promoting lockdowns.

Report published recently of the international correspondence and workings of the so-called Independent Scientific Advisory Group which has been pushing for a zero Covid approach. Four weeks ago, the head of the group wrote to its members asking them to "look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty" and to "go after people and not institutions" because "people hurt faster than institutions".

Audio available at https://www.facebook.com/senatormullen/posts/4285516648144898

The correspondence suggests that the group has been deliberately adjusting its targets for zero Covid in order to convince that party's leadership to subscribe to the strategy. All of this information is in the public domain and yet, incredibly, it has not been reported by RTÉ or in the print media. Why is such a group allowed to scaremonger without at least being challenged by politicians or the media on its internal conversations about which we now know?

You can find the audio which is just 2 to 3 mins long at: https://www.facebook.com/senatormullen/videos/736842203694081/ and https://twitter.com/i/status/1369345482707845132

Matt Cooper one of the prominent figures of the mainstream media in Ireland has been one of the most accommodating of this dishonest and criminally deceitful group, having them on over 30 times and he has not been objective. The leaked emails from ISAG say: “Matt tries to look impartial but asks great pro-elimination questions”,

The result of these media figures not asking question is that these criminal, unconstitutional lockdowns that are causing misery and huge economic and social damage as well as very likely soaring suicide rates. as indicated by the fact that the number of distressed calls to the Dublin Samaritans has soared since the Covid lockdowns. Widespread reports from other countries showed the same trends.

Cooper should apologize to the nation and help right things by balancing up things by having people of the calibre of Ivor Cummins on for a similar number of times and others who have being doing real science as opposed to pure fraud whilst pretending they are doing science.

The news website Gript.ie have been leading from the front on this story and have done a number of articles on it so far and are to be commended for doing real journalism whilst the rest of the media in Ireland who have not only failed completely but are actively promoting lying by statistics, manipulation of figures and in their presentations and the terrorizing of the population through relentless fear mongering.

https://gript.ie/frankly-id-prefer-to-sort-this-out-with-a-good-hurley-and-no-witnesses-zero-covid-group/

In this quote we can see how ISAG member Prof. Gerry Killeen indicate his desire to violently to remove the awkward voices doing real science as opposed to the pretend voodoo science of the ISAG.

Ivor Cummins, the biochemical engineer, commentator, and Youtuber, sparked particularly vitriolic discussion in the group.

Late last year ISAG began internally discussing the possibility of a debate between one of their members and Cummins. Cummins was open to the idea, and emails were exchanged between Cummins, Professor Gerry Killeen of UCC, and a third party who was interested in hosting the debate.

Prof. Killeen told the other members of ISAG that he was in contact with “that muppett [sic] Ivor Cummins” about a debate and that Cummins, “like Ciara Kelly, Michael McNamara and [sic] whole string of other charlatans”, might have to be taken on so that ISAG could show the public that Cummins, like Kelly and McNamara, were “paper thin and nasty.” Whilst Killeen appears to have brought the idea of debating Cummins to ISAG he also said that “Frankly, I’d prefer to sort this out with a good hurley and no witnesses.”

The Zero-Covid advocacy group, ISAG, passed information thatmay or may not be true” to the Government, in order to give the Government the chance to “line up with our proposals”,

Their proposals are prolonged lockdowns and the Zero-Covid strategy that has NO scientific basis whatsoever. These strategies are destroying the country.

Senator Ronan Mullen ( independent ) is one of the true democrats in our political body and who has actually got the integrity to bring this despicable behaviour to public attention.

Independent Scientific Advocacy Group
https://www.isagcovid19.org/

You can find the list of so called scientists and academics who are members of ISAG on their website. They like, their predecessors in the Church, the priests, are damaging the reputation of the scientific establishment. People ought to recognize just as there is a difference between a priest and a religion, there is a difference between a scientist and science. In each case the former are just people and suffer from all the temptations to use their position for power, influence and their own ego.

Some of the leading names of ISAG and who have appeared at saturation levels in the national media pushing lockdowns and the dangerous experimental vaccines are members like Prof Anthony Staines, Prof Gerry Killeen, Dr. Tomas Ryan and Prof. Sam McConkey.. All household names. All of these members have been party to these emails and have been thus aware since before Christmas 2020 of the deceitful campaign to use lies whilst the same organisation pretends it uses science, to push and extend the lockdown.

It is unknown who leaked the emails but clearly there is someone out there close to ISAG or possibly even a member who is courageous and has a conscience and has done us all a service. If only the mainstream media would do their service

It is time for the Independent Scientific Advocacy Group to disband and for all their members to disclose the conflicts of interest.

It should be clear by now that just because you have the title Dr or Prof before your name, that you should be trusted as somehow being trustworthy

According to the Irish Inquiry facebook page it says:

IVOR CUMMINS SAYS HE WILL BE REPORTING TO THE GARDAI CORRESPONDENCE WRITTEN ABOUT HIM BY PROF GERRY KILLEEN UCC. SILENCE OF MAINSTREAM JOURNALISTS 30 HOURS AFTER PUBLICATION OF ANOTHER SENSATIONAL TRANCHE OF ISAG CORRESPONDENCE BY GRIPT MEDIA INDICATES WE ARE FED DAILY WITH PROPAGANDA MASQUERADING AS NEWS

Thirty hours after the publication of yet another sensational tranche of correspondence among the members of ISAG (Independent Science Advocacy Group) the mainstream media is silent on the issue.

Mainstream journalists like Daniel McConnell, Political editor Irish Examiner, Pat Leahy political editor, Irish Times and Philip Ryan, political editor, Irish Independent along with Gavan Reilly Virgin Media News who are very active on Twitter are all singing dumb.

In a wide ranging interview with John Ryan from the online news platform broadsheet.ie, Ivor Cummins says he will be reporting correspondence written about him by Professor Gerry Killeen, of the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences at University College Cork. Killeen appears regularly on radio and tv and is a member of the Independent Science Advocacy Group (ISAG) who are pushing for a level 6 zero Covid lockdown.

Cummins says he will also be writing to UCC.

Ivor Cummins is a Biochemical Engineer who has become a thorn in the side of the establishment with his constant publication of data disproving the Covid narrative that we are being fed. Naturally he is kept off mainstream media but he has a huge profile on Twitter and YouTube

Gary Kavanagh from Gript media has been exposing ISAG for more than two weeks in a series of leaked correspondence, which according to Cummins is only the tip of the iceberg, there’s lots more to come.

Kavanagh wrote yesterday:

“Ivor Cummins, the biochemical engineer, commentator, and Youtuber, sparked particularly vitriolic discussion in the group.

Late last year ISAG began internally discussing the possibility of a debate between one of their members and Cummins. Cummins was open to the idea, and emails were exchanged between Cummins, Professor Gerry Killeen of UCC, and a third party who was interested in hosting the debate.

Whilst Killeen appears to have brought the idea of debating Cummins to ISAG he also said that “Frankly, I’d prefer to sort this out with a good hurley and no witnesses.”

Other members of ISAG were more hesitant to debate Cummins, saying that Cummins was a “snake oil salesman.” Killeen himself noted that Cummins was a “a particularly slippery snake” and that taking him on would be “a bit like taking on Carl Heneghan or Sunetra Gupta – won’t be easy, needs some thought and would need preparation in advance.”

Carl Heneghan is a clinical epidemiologist, a Professor of Evidence-based Medicine at Oxford, and the Director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford. Sunetra Gupta is a Professor of Theoretical Epidemiology at Oxford. Both have argued against a Zero-Covid approach.

ISAG decided it was best not to debate Cummins, with Killeen again making a reference to the use of a hurley.”(2)

FINALLY AFTER ALMOST THREE WEEKS, MAINSTREAM MEDIA FINALLY BREAKS ITS SILENCE THIS EVENING ON THE GRIPT EXPOSÉ OF THE SCAREMONGERING BY ISAG SCIENTISTS BY CYNICALLY PUTTING THE SPOTLIGHT ON SENATOR RONAN MULLEN TO DEFLECT FROM THEIR DESPICABLE ANTI SCIENTIFIC BEHAVIOUR

[Anna Kavanagh LIVE with #centreground every Wednesday night at 9pm on The Irish Inquiry]

I’m taking it for granted that those of you who follow this page are up to speed on the carry on of the ISAG scientists that has been exposed by Gript Media over the last three weeks. If not the link is below. (1)

This morning I named the political correspondents of the leading mainstream outlets and noted their silence. (2)

Finally, this evening Daniel McConnell the political editor of the Irish Examiner breaks the silence by publishing a photograph of Senator Rónán Mullen under a headline “Zero-Covid group rejects accusations of scaremongering”.

McConnell’s 576 word report is a masterful piece of deflection away from the carryon of these supposed scientists who have become household names because of their constant appearance in mainstream media.

His report manages not to include a single reference to Gript Media who have been incrementally publishing some of the tranche of the internal communications within the ISAG that has been leaked.

McConnell puts the spotlight on Ronan Mullen who raised the issue in the Seanad on Monday.

A highlighted standalone paragraph reads:

Speaking to the Irish Examiner, Dr Staines, who is a founding member of the Isag, rejected Mr Mullen’s accusations of scaremongering.

He said:

I tend not to pay too much attention to Rónán, I hope that does not upset him.”

Senator Ronan Mullen is constantly vilified on mainstream and social media because of his conservative stance in recent referenda. The deplorable way in which he is scapegoated in the Examiner by McConnell to avoid dealing with the key issues is nothing new. Read it here https://www.irishexaminer.com/.../arid-40243364.html
