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.

Unofficial facebook organised counter protest by Irish republicans leads to demise of crappest attempt at far right movement in Europe

Bye Bye DRM

Unofficial facebook organised counter protest by Irish republicans leads to demise of crappest attempt at far right movement in Europe

Comrades, due to activism that started from a facebook page stemming from 'DRM's semi-illiterate spokesman Michael Quinn verbally attacking highly thought ex-poltical prisoner and republican revolutionary singer/songwriter Ciaran Murphy, collective republican and anti-fascist activists abhorrance to British NF style fascism trying to rear its ugly head in Ireland has bore fruit, the pathetic rabble the 'DRM' has virtually crumbled overnight due to internal fueding between DRM number 1 Michael Quinn and his once erstwhile apprentice number 2 John Kavanagh(please remember DRMs active membership stood at approx 15).

While Quinn was hosting his bi-weeky online racist far right rants, Kavanagh hijacked the show and on air proclaimed 'Quinn is out of the DRM' and challenged his former mentor to a fistfight in Limerick.
This is related to the DRMs unsuccessful picket at the British embassy which Quinn is alleged to have abandoned due to Irish republicans and anti-fascists being present to confront them, but apparently Kavanagh and a handful of DRM members were prepared to carry out the protest but the founder and mouthpiece of the DRM Quinn himself never turned up, due to fear of confrontation, leaving his fellow DRM members in the lurch.

Quinn tried saving face by claiming he was present at the embassy on Tuesday morning at the publicised time to support famous youtube train bigot Emma West, attempting to maintain an utterly patheic picket at the British embassy in the early hours of Wednesday morning a full day after the advertised time for his protest with another loyal fascist and 3 members of his own family aged from early to mid teens proves he was there and defied any counter protest mounted by republicans and anti-fascists.
But the not so bright Quinn forgot to change the date on the camera he captured a four second clip of the miserable and swift protest which shows his young children and DRM buddy cowering against a wall in the rain, the date reads 4/01/12, it can be seen here(please note the music in the video produced by Quinn is by British Loyalist/Neo-Nazi band Sckrewdriver, a renowned anti-Irish group) http://m.youtube.com/ index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=IE#/watch?v=PuAQ3CLV--8

It is fair to say the 'DRM' is finished, any rotten hopes they had of progressing are now dashed by their very enemies in republicanisn/socialism/anti-fascist action. Its leader and pied piper Quinn, outed as a coward and liar by his own once former dedicated disciples. Its back to the online fantasy realm talking shop that is Stormfront for them, and for us anti-fascists, that is place we are happy for them to stay. Tiocfaidh ar la agus NO PARASAN
