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 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.

Splits in the SWP leadership over election policy revealed. 3 tendencies emerge.

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday September 11, 2002 20:12author by El Bandito Report this post to the editors

It's believed that there is a split over the question of elections in the SWP. These divisions erose before, during and after the recent Dáil elections.

It is believed that the SWP are split over election policy.

Grace Lally is believed to hold an abstentionist position. Should the SWP ever get elected she argues that they should abstain from Parliament. A position sonwhat similar to Sinn Féin's old position.

The anti-election tendency is headed up by Kieran Allen. Allen argues against standing for elections at all. It is believed that his views about elections were formed when he himself stood for election in England and did disasterously.

On the other hand Richard Boyd-Barrett is the strongest advocate for elections in the SWP. Boyd-Barrett was the strongest preforming SWP candidate in the recent Dáil elections, receiving 876 votes. He argues that the SWP position should be similar to the SP position, ie use elections for getting your politics out among the working class and use elected positions as a platform.

After the high vote that Militant Labour (now Socialist Party) received in the Dublin West by-election of 1996 the SWP changed their position on elections. Their official line is now that of the Boyd-Barrett tendency. However due to their disasterous preformances in 1999 local elections and the recent 2002 Dail elections, this position may come under some strain.

The meeting of the Irish Anti War Movement is of course today Friday at 7.30 as noted elsewhere and not Thursday as I mistyped in my posting above.

It looks set to be a good meeting to which can give a boost to the anti-war preparations.

Those not joined at the hip to their computer screens might think about coming along.

Oh joy!
I knew that I'd finally catch Kevin's eye, if I could just manage to complain about enough posts.

(Unfortunately Kev's eyesight obviously isn't what it used to be, or he would have seen that the 'anarcho-censors' trying to get this post deleted are members of the SWP)

I don't care whether the post is deleted or not. It's not my place to egg on Ray and the anarcho-censors.

The posting is invention. In other words it not true. You can quote me on that if you're interested.

For those of you with something better to do than this non-sense come along tomorrow (Thursday) to the IAWM public meeting in the North Star Hotel, at 7.30 pm get organised agains the war, take leaflets and help build for a national demo on the 28th of Sept.

For those with who live in a coffin and only come out at night carry on with this thread -- and good luck to you.

This posting is factually incorrect and should be removed.

author by C.publication date Thu Sep 12, 2002 13:14author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Could you please outline where the post is factually inaccurate. On reading (I didn't post it and think it's boring - only looked cos it came up on the list) it seems a tough one to prove:

Grace Lally is believed to hold an abstentionist position

Allen argues against standing for elections at all

He (RBB) argues that the SWP position should be similar to the SP position, ie use elections for getting your politics out among the working class and use elected positions as a platform.

The first point cannot be disproved - the second two could possibly be. Unless these statements are factually inaccurate I don't see why the post should be removed..

Reason to remove posts includes: "infactual or obviously false posts - the onus is on the author to check and confirm facts - if a factual error is brought to our attention it will be removed."

This post is innacurate in every thing it says accept for the number votes cast and as such be removed.

author by Brian Cahillpublication date Thu Sep 12, 2002 12:58author address author phone Report this post to the editors

This kind of post isn't particularly useful or interesting. The SWP leadership may or may not have internal disagreements over the issue of elections. I don't know, and frankly, so what if they do?

I also don't think that it is a good idea to personalise discussions. Attributing views to individuals contrary to those they express publically is unhelpful. How does the first poster know that any of the stuff about what various SWP leaders "really" think is accurate? And if this style of debate becomes widespread, what's to stop somebody from spreading rumours about what he/she "really" thinks?

Indymedia is an open newswire.
If you think there should be more articles about the war then its up to you to contribute them.
As long as the stuff that's posted falls within the guidelines then its not the responsibility of IMC what it discusses.

OOps. Ray is right (this time).
Nevertheless this thread is still rubbish and amounts to simple 'stirring the pot'.

- A Sinn Fein comrade posted a reasonable plea for unity on the left. This was wiped, presumably coz it's not news.

A Sinn Fein comrade posted a reasonable plea for unity on the left. This was wiped, presumably coz it's not news. However shite like this is deemed worthy. The eyes of the world are watching.

The IMC crewe need to catch themselves on and turn this into real media. There's a f.u.c.k.i.n.g war about to break big time and you facilitate this type of degeneration. C'mon get serious...
