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.

Basque country a problem for IMC Ireland?

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday August 29, 2002 02:29author by pissed off Report this post to the editors

Repression.

Over twenty premises connected to the Bsaque seperatist movement have been closed down, many of them violently in the last fourty eight hours. Irrespective of whether you support Basque independence or not, this should be a story.

Lots of basque people live here and particpate in the political life here. A party which conservatively represents 10% of them has been outlawed. There is a history of massive state repression, documneted parastatist killings, torture against them. That doesn't ean you have to support car bombs against civilians. It means that there is a situation which stronly resembles our own in rather recent historica times. Someone may even have a view that contibutes something.

An yes, there are things going on in Uruguay, Argentina and Pelasetine. Amongst other places. And there's fuck all about them on IMC Ireland either.

But there's isn't even a link to the Basque Indymedia site on the left hand column, where there is for all the others, a simple technical question which contributors to the site cannot address.

On another point, lots of people are already publishing critcal information in Ireland, how is it that this site, which is basically a portal, doesn't contain links to any of them on the front page? PFC, SF, WSM, SP ..... And many IMCs are like this. Get your act together. If someone posts an article lifted from an organisation the moderatos are down people's throats in a second, but the truth is that there is fuck all fresh jornalism produced for here. Face the facts! Work with the situation as it is rather than acting as if its thebulleting board for a student course in DCU or Rathmines or somewhere....

We were under the impression that the opening of Euskalherria indymedia was welcomed in a short article in Ireland indymedia.

There were few comments added.

As I have said before i personally believe that autonomy and anarchist or anarcho-sindicalist communities may best be protected within an enviroment where human rights are protected.

I have shortened this lengthy and detailed argument which I´ll not inflict on ye here today
to
auontomy for us = democracy for them.

Free speech and freedom of association are Human rights.

The newest IMC networks ,
Ireland, Jerusalem, Finland, Norway, Euskal Herria and India
have each been tinted with the usual
"in our back yard only" thinking.

Generally Reclaim the Streets actions occur within a six month window of IMC launches.
as so in Ireland Norway and Finland

for obvious reasons not much RTS going down in Jersusalem but i talk to Tel aviv people later today.

and the Basque lands are a very different place.

write your articles
post your comments.
use the oldest indymedia network ever:
the walls of your cities= murals and graffiti.

often IMC´s purposes are more comment exchange then just news.

Think Globally act Locally.
solidarity.

I write from Catalúnya as always
today as for hundreds of years a part of the supernational Spanish state.

I write to IMC ireland in Dublin, the prinicipal urban are of the IRish states.

about it.
Summer was nice.
Hi to THORPIES; SWIMMIES; SINNIES; COMMIES:
Bolshiviks, anarchists, spartie-dudes, Blisset and the tinfoil hat man.
Still alive and love ye all.
give the baskies some support.
whether or not to suppport H.B.
the people need support.
heart and mind.

Thanks in advance for correcting your left hand index of your web page, as we like to contact you through such index, we would like much to be contacted by the same way.
In regard to the interview of the social newspaper included here, it is quite accurate. That is the situation here generally speaking, and it is turning a lot worse.
Such interview talks about the need of a referendum, that is absolutely necessary (essential) to solve the political conflict. I have worked on a referendum for independence for EuskalHerria for the last 18 months, and it is ready. However, I have a problem, I need ideas in how to implement it, how to carry it out. Keep in mind that under the present circumstances this referendum is absolutely banned by the spanish and french governments. And also is useless to apply it through any of the nationalist political parties, because they would be ilegalized immediately. But it is the only way left to, at least, know what the majority of Basques want for sure. Any ideas? I know it is not your business but am asking for a little solidarity. Hope to hear some comments addressed to my email address. Eskerrik asko (thank you).

What people fail to recognise is that the political and extra-judicial attacks on the political party Batasuna -- if Batasuna fails in its appeal in the European Courts -- will extend to any and all opposition groups in any and all European nations.

No group is safe if Spain succeeds in driving Batasuna underground -- other nations will be emboldened by the Francoist actions.

Republican groups know this only too well, with heavy gangs and false charges and bogus evidence and raids on party offices. It is largely ignored because it's just "radical fringes". But if it can happen to us, it can happen to you. And if it can happen to Batasuna, it can happen to any other group that struggles for social and economic justice.

No doubt, though, there are numerous posters here who secretly and publicly call for such fascist attacks.

But if you drive the party underground, you bring the paramilitary group to the fore, and you reap what you sow.

Batasuna's example shows that the political process simply does not work, and that the state only responds to violence. Is this the message we should be getting? It's the message the states are sending.

If you want to see articles on here about the Basque country, Venezuela, or anything else, then WRITE THEM. Don't complain that nobody else is doing the work for you - do it yourself.
