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.

Claire Byrne's Big Pharma Shill Show

Dumbing Down and Dividing The Population Every Monday Night

Stoking The Flames of Hatred And Manipulating The Minds Of The Masses
claire_byrne.jpg

For those who haven’t noticed, RTE’s latest campaign of hate and division is airing 24/7. The network’s persistent effort to turn one cohort of the population against the other has gone into overdrive this past week, both on TV and radio. You can tune in at pretty much any time of day or night to hear it. It is incessant.

In fact, if you are a would-be psychologist who wishes to learn more about the behavioural instincts of sinister sociopaths or the neurotic imbalances of pompous, smug, deluded narcissists, then present airings should not be missed. Not an hour goes by but a team of morally bankrupt, poisonous cretins disseminates its venom out onto the people of Ireland, priming them to take up arms against their neighbours. It is a lesson in psychopathy.

Resembling the RTLM of Rwanda in 1993, RTE has pointed out the enemy and is now actively encouraging the nation’s QR Code-approved comrades and the Digital Green Certificate-wielding citizens to view their unvaccinated countryman with disdain and disapproval. If they could get away with providing machetes they would.

Of course, Ireland’s loudest cheerleader for cultural dismemberment and dystopian living is front and centre of the vaccine apartheid propaganda. Wherever there is state-sponsored antagonism or corporate-funded bile, there is Claire Byrne.

The long winter nights in modern-day Soviet Ireland guarantee her a sizable mind-controlled audience of impressionable, easily-influenced viewers. With occult-like hypnotic grace, she weaves her way into their collective psyche, manufacturing their consent for everything - from the murder of unborn children to the unlimited influx of economic migrants.

She is now on the verge, after months convincing her viewers that it is OK to discriminate against the unjabbed, of convincing them that it is acceptable to have them banished from society altogether. Soon, her spellbound audience will be nodding along as she gives her case for the incarceration of the refuseniks.

It was not so long ago, we witnessed Stalinist Claire host an episode in which an unidentified token ‘conspiracy theorist’ was rolled out and practically declared insane for merely asking pertinent questions in regards to the necessity of draconian COVID-19 measures. It was suggested that this person, for having opinions that are different to those promoted by the government, required the ‘intervention’ of family and friends in order for her to be saved and brought back in line with RTE’s MK Ultra programming.

We have also witnessed Claire host some of Ireland’s celebrity scientists and doctors - always perfectly timing their invitations so that they appear on the show just as the banker-bought establishment leaders are in need of COVID-19 pandemic fear porn to keep the masses psychologically prepped for the next step in the controlled agenda. We are regularly given insight, via her show, to the ‘expertise’ of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-linked village idiots-cum-technocrats, such as Luke O’Neill and Sam McConkey, while alternative voices like Ivor Cummins, Dr. Martin Feeley and Dr. Marcus De Brun are notably absent.

Who could forget the circus that was put on for the crowd when Byrne and O’Neill gave us a preview of the New Normal, as they exhibited how we would dance at gigs and festivals in the future - shielded from the nasty virus, within the safety of giant plastic bubbles?

Who could forget the time Claire announced that she had tested positive for COVID-19 and tweeted of her feelings of guilt for having (purportedly) contracted the illness, suggestively implanting into the minds of the people - Tavistock style - a feeling of personal responsibility to submit to the Orwellian regulations that were to come?

Who could forget her early attempts at frightening the public into capitulation, as she propagated for lockdowns by shutting herself inside a garden shed, deliberately overemphasizing the supposed danger of a supposed plague?

Who could forget the time she had Dr. Phil Kieran on to demonstrate how to have a guest over to your house for a tea party in a safe, sterile and contagion-free way?

And who could forget her feigned ignorance of world-renowned epidemiology expert and vocal critic of lockdowns, mask mandates and school closures, Professor John Ionnadis?

Anyone who has been paying attention this past twenty months or so will be fully aware that Monday night’s Claire Byrne Live RTE TV show is, in reality, a pharmaceutical product promotional presentation and should be renamed Claire Byrne’s Big Pharma Shill Show. Anyone who takes a word that is uttered by her, or any of her carefully selected guests, seriously is a fool. Her show is a TV advertisement - no different to what you would see on channels like QVC - and is designed to sell the pharmaceutical narrative and shift pharmaceutical products from shelves. So dedicated is she to the cause, she sometimes even has these same products administered to her live on air. Every Monday night Claire is pimped out in front of a desirable demographic by pharmaceutical directors, who are at ease in the knowledge that she will do whatever it takes - which includes lying to and deceiving her audience - with the purpose of marketing, advertising and selling their goods to potential customers.

This was observable last Monday night when she was joined on the show by one of Ireland’s pretend-journalists, Joe O’Shea (I’ve never heard of him either). He was brought on to play his part in the propaganda, and spoke exactly as his scriptwriters commanded.

In a poor acting performance, he fabricated concern for the health and well-being of the community, threw in a remark about Bill Gates and robots in an effort to discredit any genuine dissent to coercive chemical violence and then became malignant, malicious and toxic during a senseless palaver, which was, of course, directed at the unvaccinated - the arch enemy of Claire’s main sponsors. It was suggested by Joe - at the orders of his handlers, no doubt - that further restrictions be placed on those who have not been jabbed.

He also claimed that there were ‘no scientific arguments to be made for not getting vaccinated’ and cried out that ‘we want our lives back, we want to get back to normality, we want to work again, we want to see people again, we want to have a Christmas’.

Seemingly, from Joe’s point of view, to do any of this the entire nation would have to bow down to the demands of the current criminal mafia that occupies the Dáil. Unlike many of us, he fails to understand that in order to ‘get back to normality’, ‘work again’, ‘see people again’ and ‘have a Christmas’ you ignore the wishes of raving wannabe tyrants and simply ‘get back to normality’, ‘work again’, ‘see people again’ and ‘‘have a Christmas.’

This, though, does involve growing a backbone, which, unfortunately, may prove quite difficult for a journalist in Ireland in 2021.

As for Joe’s claim that there are ‘no scientific arguments to be made for not getting vaccinated’, his Masonic inversion of the truth is par for the course and the type of rubbish we have come to expect from RTE TV broadcasts. Joe would know, if he was a proper journalist, that there is no argument for getting vaccinated. His contrived rant demonstrates this as his fear of unvaccinated people passing a virus onto him indicates the futility of being vaccinated in the first place. If he was already vaccinated and protected, why should he care? Isn’t that a ‘scientific argument’? Or do ‘scientific arguments’ end when there are enough zeros at the end of Joe O’Shea’s bank account balance?

In his world, if everyone is vaccinated, then we can all rest easy and get on with our lives. Except, of course, we can’t. And Joe knows this.

We are told, despite being jabbed, people must still wear face masks, isolate on occasions, sanitize their hands while singing Happy Birthday, remain socially distanced, lock their Granny alone inside a care home without visits, adhere to contact tracing programs and be nasally raped on a regular basis.

On top of this, the vaccine that Joe O’Shea demands we are all jabbed with is not - by the very admission of the companies who make it and the acknowledgement of the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - designed to stop transmission. These vaccines will not prevent a vaccinated person from passing COVID-19 onto another vaccinated person. In other words, they are completely useless and cannot actually be considered vaccines at all.

Regardless, Joe believes that we should all get our shots anyway, and those who refuse should be locked out of society. The dire consequences and risks of life-altering and sometime life-ending side effects - also acknowledged by the vaccine manufacturers and the CDC - should be cast aside just so Joe can feel safe and his donors can continue to enrich themselves.

Inconvenient truths are not included in Joe’s vociferations. He rambles on, as vaccine fanatics do, while large swathes of the vaccinated population are known to be occupying hospitals beds worldwide, due to what we are told is COVID-19. In Britain, for example, the statistics are grim for the jabbed. 83% of COVID-19 deaths recorded between September 18th and October 15th were among the fully vaccinated. Here in Ireland, the vaxxed are not faring much better. We know that in September, COVID-19 certified deaths soared among those who had at least one shot. In New Zealand, COVID-19 cases have reached a record high, despite rapidly increasing levels of vaccination. In Lithuania, there are 100 times more reported COVID-19 cases than there were in July of this year when only a fraction of the population was vaccinated. And in the United States, a Harvard Study has shown that countries with the lowest vaccination rates have much fewer cases of what is said to be COVID-19 than those with the highest vaccine uptake.

But Claire Byrne, Joe O’ Shea and many other RTE talking heads are unable to discuss these facts while their salaries depend on them not being discussed. So instead, they lie by omission.

It would all be quite comedic if it wasn’t so serious. Like the Hutus who were sure that the Tutsis wanted to wipe them out, vaccinated Irish people are now starting to believe - thanks to the septic tank that is RTE - that the unvaccinated are a threat to their lives.

All of this fear and loathing is spread to benefit a few, at the expense of the many. While Claire Byrne is paid the salary one would expect a high-class Big Pharma whore to be paid, others are slipping into destitution - removed from their professions because of their refusal to be vaccinated and then publicly shamed and falsely accused of being ‘dirty’ and ‘selfish.’ As they are forced into unemployment, the gangsters of RTE and Pfizer are getting richer.

The communist mentality that pervades the island’s brainwashed Left ensures ignorance of the continued transfer of wealth, as the nation is ravaged. The only people to benefit - for now - are puppets and useful idiots like Byrne and O’Shea and the media companies who are raking in COVID-19 government funding and pharmaceutical advertising fees.

It remains to be seen if the majority in Ireland will fall for the lies, as they have continually done so over the past 20 months. If indeed they do, expect unprecedented levels of discrimination and segregation, with a complicit media cheering it on.

In the meantime, it won't help that droves of people will stay tuned to the Claire Byrne Big Pharma Shill Show every Monday night, allowing themselves to be misinformed, lied to, manipulated, deceived, brainwashed, dumbed down and - most concerning of all - divided.
