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.

To all citizens of Europe and to their representatives. Together let us stop the war on Iraq.

European call for action against war on Iraq

The following call was drawn up at the organising meeting for the European Social Forum in Brussels on September 7/8. It was initially signed by a number of individuals and organisations present. We wish to make it public very quickly. If you wish to support, please write 'supporting anti war call' with your details to globalise_resistance@yahoo.com

drafted at the Brussels preparatory meeting for the ESF 8.9.02

To all citizens of Europe and to their representatives. Together let us stop the war on Iraq.

We do not accept this war and we do not believe it is inevitable. There is massive opposition in every country of Europe, and in many places people are starting to mobilise for peace.

This war will be a catastrophe first for the people of Iraq and second for people accross the Middle East. It will be a war without resolution with the potential to lead to global disaster.

Those who show solidarity with the people of Iraq have no hearing in the White House. But we do have the chance to influence European Governments - many of whom have opposed the war. We call on all the European heads of state to publicly stand against this war whether it has UN backing or not, and to demand that George Bush abandon his war plans.

We believe imminent war makes the European Social Forum ever more important and we urge the movements to redouble their efforts to bring people to Florence for the ESF which will be a vital platform for organising coordinated European wide action against war. Particularly we ask for attendance from across Europe for the anti war demonstration in Florence on Saturday November 9.

We call on the citizens of Europe and their representatives to take steps now to mobilise maximum resistance to war.
Mass demonstrations are planned in a number of European countries in the next few weeks. We urge the movements in every European country to follow this example as a matter of urgency.

Together we can stop this war.

Of course not. But one of the ways people contribute to indymedia is by going to meetings that discuss raising money, editorial policy, technical questions, and so on. I'd have though two such eager and non-lazy people would have been interested contributors to the mailing lists and first at the door when the meeting started. Apparently not.

I would have thought that since IMCer and John are so eager to contribute things they'd have turned up at Saturday's meeting. Maybe they were in disguise...

Having been a regular user of indymedia for a while now its seens to me that your quite the prick ray.
Why dont you contribute or are you afraid you'll fall short of your own standards.

Would not all these people jetting off to the ESF not be spending their time more usefully and productively staying here and spending the time campaigning against the Nice referendum?

Why don't you have anything positive to contribute to this newswire Ray you negative prick? Why don't you actually write an article for IMC Ireland instead of just whining and moaning about every article that appears here you negative prick? Or is that beyond your intellectual capabilities? Or are just too lazy to scratch your hole Ray?

'globalise_resistance@yahoo.com' is a bit of a contradiction in terms don't you think....!

I'm curious
-If you wish to support, please write 'supporting anti war call' with your details to globalise_resistance@yahoo.com

And your name will be added to a petition? And you will be told about a public meeting? And you will be put on a mailing list? What happens if you send in your details?

There's at least one political organisation that's very fond of collecting signatures on petitions, petitions that are very rarely handed in to anyone, but are just used to collect contact details.
