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.

REPORT, VID - Jello Biafra calls for support for Bradley Manning at London gig
by Ciaron O'Reilly, Giuseppe Conlon House

(& our efforts to fundraise for Bradley Manning's family to support Bradley Manning)

JELLO BIAFRA IN SOLIDARITY WITH BRADLEY MANNING

Jello Biafra (ex "Dead Kennedys" NOW "Guantanamo School of Medicine" (GSoM)
spOKE out for Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden & Julian Assange at GSoM gig
at Dingwalls, Camden, London,August 12th.

A "Free Bradley Manning" banner hung behind the band, Jello wore a
"Fee Bradley Manning" t-shirt during the set,

The 2+ hour gig was epic and also can be rated as the largest London public meeting in support of Bradley
Manning during our 3 years of solidarity work for the tortured slandered & imprisoned WikILeaks Whistleblower
Thanks to the empathy, solidarity & eloquence that is Jello Biafra a new constituency of London
punks were engaged in this the week of Manning's sentencing at NSA HQ, Ft. Meade, Maryland USA

This gathering went way beyond preaching to the choir, it went out to people & to places we don't know who
& where yet. What the varied responses will be over the long years of Bradley's imprisonment ahead, only
time will tell.

With a little bit of effort, & some good friends willing to step up on short notice, we managed to ring the London
punk mountain to the Manning/ Biafra mountain at Dingwalls/ Camden.

BRADLEY MANNING SOLIDARITY STALL AT GIG

The well positioned Bradley Manning solidarity stall at the gig went really well.
We distributed flyers on how to view the Welsh National Theatre production
"The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning" presently being performed & live streamed from Edinburgh.
How to view live stream here - http://tinyurl.com/lvogvzr
& flyers instructing punks how to financial support Bradley Manning's Wales based family support
Brad in prison in the U.S.

THE BRADLEY MANNING SOLIDARITY KISSING BOOTH NEEDS FINE TUNING!
http://tinyurl.com/lgjjtdj

The "Bradley Manning Solidarity Kissing Booth" to raise funds to defray U.S. prison visiting costs
for the Welsh based maternal Manning family, didn't so well. This fundarainsing idea could have been way
ahead of it's time or quite a deal behind the times. That's the problem when you take your ideas from episodes
of "Scoby Doo". But Casey Kassem the voice of Shaggy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLw-A5tHg8g ,
had put up 20 grand bail for me (out of a total of 50 grand) when I was held after completing my B52 plowshares
sentence in 1993

Oh well when it comes to fundraising ideas for Bradley Manning in these long years ahead....

"All power to the imagination!"
- Paris 1968
or...
"Plagiarism is the basis of all culture!"
Pete Seeger;s dad (at least he had the integrity to quote him!)

As the sign went......

Kissa punk 50p
Kissa former political prisoner of the United States - a quid
Kissa a very buffed Czech - 1.50 quid
Kissa Rock Star - 5 quid

We made more money out of serving as an alternative cloak room as the devoted left their bags
with us and headed for the sweating, heaving mosh pit.

On Wednesday, Bradley Manning takes the stand at the sentencing stage of his court martial
He will be sentenced (max now 90 tears) next week.

The focus of our small crew of autonomous anti-war & prison solidarity activists Veterans for Peace, Catholic Workers
Australian, English, Kiwi Latin American, Polish, Sardinian, U.S. Welsh & all is to

TO SUPPORT BRADLEY MANNING'S WALES BASED FAMILY SUPPORT BRADLEY MANNING

So far we have raised
- $300 US at a gig in Brisbane 2012 (similar amount was raised at th is gig for the Assange family)
http://tinyurl.com/o5jax3b
-- 33 quid at an event at iuseppe Conlon House (GCH) 4/8./13
http://wiseupaction.info/2013/08/07/babe-in-arms-to-wor...eran/
- 68 quid at the Jello Biafra gig 12/8/13

WHAT Over the past 3 years, members of Bradley's Welsh family have self funded their trips to the
U.S. to visit Bradley in pre-trial detention including one visit while he was being tortured in Quantico.
We want to support them to support Brad, by contributing towards the cost of their future visits.

HOW As specific bank account has yet to be set up. In the meantime, you can
