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

offsite link China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
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.

offsite link Why the Right Must Take the High Ground When it Comes to Free Speech Sat Sep 27, 2025 09:00 | Toby Young
Tempting though it is, Donald Trump and his allies should refrain from trying to cancel their political opponents. Free speech is one of the core values that the defenders of Western civilisation should uphold.

Can the radical Left ? increasingly wedded to violence to achieve its unpopular ideals ? actually be trusted with free speech, or will it just keep using it to call for and celebrate our deaths, asks Steven Tucker.

Should the Right take the moral high ground and refrain from cancel culture? Or should it give the Left a taste of its own medicine ? and try to teach it a lesson? It has to be the latter, argues Professor James Allan.

Marxist M.E.K. Trained by US, directed by Mossad

category international | miscellaneous | news report author Saturday April 07, 2012 03:31author by Gandalphi Scanussi Report this post to the editors

The New Yorker Magazine has revealed that the dissident Iranian opposition group Mujahideen-e-Khalq (M.E.K.) has been trained by the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) since 2005 at a secret military site in Nevada. The author of the article, Seymour Hersh, recounts how Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency told him that information supplied by the M.E.K in regard to Irans commencing enrichment of uranium at a secret underground location was given to them by Mossad.

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/2012/04/....html

As well as recruiting and training M.E.K. members for their covert war against Iran, Mossad has been targeting other Iranian opposition groups. For instance, posing as CIA agents Mossad were recruiting Jundallah members in London to carry out attacks inside Iran.

http://rt.com/news/iranian-scientists-assassinations-is...-923/

The M.E.K is still on the U.S. foreign terrorist list but politicians like Rudi Guiliani and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen who are very much on the 'right' are lobbying hard to have it removed from this list and used to lead the opposition movement against the Iranian Government.

Anyone threading a Marxist/Communist path behind groups claiming to want civil rights for the Iranian people need to check themselves and check who is directing and controlling their movement.

Groucho Marxists maybe.

A long time ago in a country far from here the MEK were Marxists. But not just any Marxists, they combined it with Islam. When they rose against the the Theocracy in 1981 they did so in the name of Islam. Basically they were Liberation Theology Muslims. They fought bravely. They even blew up a meeting and killed 70 mullahs. They assassinated the President, they came back the next week and killed the Prime Minister.

But they were beaten. With defeat sometimes comes a search for a short cut to victory.

They took that short cut and collaborated with Saddam in the war between Iran and Iraq. They gradually jettisoned any Marxist politics they had.

Under the Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama administrations different wings of the State have held conflicting positions towards the MEK. But at all times they have received support for black ops.

Rumsfield wanted to use the MEK army in IRAQ to launch an attack on Iran, let tgem raise the flag and then go in to support them! There were saner people in the Pentagon. They knew the MEK were more useful fo black ops and false flag operations.

The MEK are totally in the pocket of the US but they are not Marxists.

Interesting analysis Pat C and I think historically it stands up. There is one thing that I dont fully understand, it seems to me that the MEK group possess all the criteria for SWP support. I therefore dont understand why the SWP dont support them? Their silence on Libya was well noted on indymedia it seems strange they only support sertain bogey groups and not others
