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

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.

A Year In Tara

category national | crime and justice | opinion/analysis author Friday December 28, 2007 19:42author by Tara Support Report this post to the editors

Trial Date January 21st 2008.

It is not so easy to build a time line on the issue of Tara and all that this entails.

For starters the issue began many years ago and the campaigns have largely evolved
with new people coming on to help as was necessitated, however, the General Election of
2007 provided a useful focus and of course saw a corrupt Minister for Environment
replaced by one who is morally inept and constitutionally Hamstrung.. but I will give it a go.

The road protests gained momentum with the political realisation that a hung Dail would
facilitate the push for the M3 toll road, it played directly into the hands of FF and their cronies
who during the development of 'The Programme for Government' were aware that under Irish
Legislation there are no protections for the fragile archaeological complex that comprises
the Gabhra Valley. There were 38 separate licences granted by Minister Roche for the
excavations and a thirty ninth site was 'discovered' during the roads Programme.

The series of legislations that led to this crisis involved the offices of Martin Cullen TD,
Noel Dempsey TD and Dick Roche TD. The EU will investigate the issue
and it will become quite clear that since the dumping of the Heritage portfolio
in the immeadiate aftermath of the last election that planning was a big issue to FF.

A simple timeline:-

**FF dropped the Heritage Portfolio in 2001.

**Martin Cullen abolished Duchas in 2003- leaving the Irish people with no statutory
agency to implement the National Monuments Act.

**In 2004 the NMA was amended to allow for 'Preservation by record' of National Monuments
within 28 sitting days of the Oireachtas- or the 'Granting of Unreviewable discretionary
powers to the sitting Minister of the Environment.

**The Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) 2002 Act allowed Gardai and contractors
sweeping powers in relation to protest (including impounding of vehicles).

**and the SIB finished the thing off , by allowing for a re-structuring of the Irish courts
and Planning System which reduces citizen say and ameliorates the crony developer
role.

It could be called a charter for corruption.

Tara was left unprotected by Irish law and the Protestors faced into criminalisation
and violence for highlighting the abuse of office by the named TD's. The 11 protestors
are facing court again on January the 21st 2008 and the usual support is welcomed.

John Gormley took up the revolving Environment Chair and will probably work hard with
Roche on Lisbon as well. He has refused to meet with the protestors nor to listen to
the EU who have accused the Irish of Breach- his response:- "My Hands are tied".

On the 26th of December 2007 the site of Lismullin was handed over to the NRA,
who are a corporate concern involved in profiteering by tolling our roads. They are also
one of the only employers of archaeological technicians in the state. They head hunt
archaology graduates and offer them four year contracts. There is no job security
involved. They are appointed by the serving Minister for Transport, Noel Dempsey
appointed his cousin to the board of the NRA.

"Tara Saga" is a documentary about Tara. It is not been made in the traditional sense in that it is available in the "making of" stage for you to participate with.
The project is to be a transparent piece of work made possible by the collaboration of individuals online. The project has been ongoing for the past five months but is only now live. There is a lot still to be added and the intention is to make it a hub of information which makes it easy for people not familiar with all the details to get a handle on it.

More info is available in the 'info' section.

Please add your voice to this site.

At the top of this page (in the subtitle) there was a reminder that the fourth in a series of hearings
against the Tara defendants was set for Monday 21st of January 2008. This has been vacated,
defferred and otherwise moved on to another date , which remains unconfirmed.

Solicitor for the campaigners, Michael Finucane attended the court on Monday of this week and
informed the groups that the case would not now be heard until possibly May, the lists will
inform supporters and a note will be put on events as soon as more info is available.

There are multiple strands to the Tara Issue- above in the comments you have detailed
a note that states that the campaigners arrested on July last year have had their fourth
court date defferred. all of these people have been through the ropes in various campaigns.

there are four campaigns-

http://www.savetara.com
http://www.tarapixie.net
http://www.tarawatch.org
http://www.sacredireland.org

these have been involved in highlighting legal defecit, corruption problems, direct action
and in monitoring civil rights, ye can go and volunteer to help whichever you like, or can set up a group to 'go and kick bertie's ass' it's entirely up to you.

but don't put bollox under a note on a serious legal issue- its not mannerly....

Following a vicious assault on a female Protester last Monday week, in solidarity with her and others, a number of comrades made official Assault Charges yesterday at Navan Garda Station against Siac and Ferovial workers yesterday.

Up until now, no charges have been made against the Workers but that has all changed and we are hitting back. This is just the beginning. Several more charges are due to follow, all with video and photographic evidence to support .

Let this be a warning to the thugs who have injured, hurt and tried to intimidate the Peaceful Protesters. NO MORE!!!
We have the right to Peacful Protest and we will not back down.

RE ROUTE THE ROAD!!!

Keep a log of any attacks on campaigners.

To the Pixies:-

A Note has gone up on the Save Tara site asking for a list of necessary items to be made
and put on 'Pixie' or 'Save Tara' that may be needed on the camp. This is small things,
toiletries, rope, matches, bandages, phone credit etcetera.

Also retain all documentation to do with complaints to Gardai.
best keep them in a safe place . All bits and bobs to do with Health and Safety
issues should be maintained in original forms and filed somewhere safely.

[They comprise a paper trail that is necessary in dealing with the vacated trial, and
courts generally only accept original documentation-though everything should also
be logged by Gardai].
