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.

Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

THE FORGOTTEN PRISONER

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday November 05, 2002 12:07author by jenny b Report this post to the editors

Despite the release of loyalist LVF neo nazi right wing extremist murderers, such as greysteel mass murderers Torrens knight, Johnny Adair and Robin king, under the terms of the peace process good friday agreement. The forgotten prisoner ex INLA man Desie O Hare, imprisoned since 1979, in Portloise Gaol, is still behind bars. Why?

INLA prisoner Dessie O Hare, has been incarcerated in Portloise Gaol, since 1979, during his long stint in jail, Dessie has watched as vicious mass murderers and LVF masterminds serve just 2-3 years in British prisons, while Dessie remains behind bars in Portloise gaol. Dessie who has not viciously and cold bloodedly murdered unarmed civillians, remains incarcerated in Portloise gaol since 1979. Dessie only crime was to kidnap a powerful, selfish, greedy, smug capitalist buisnessman and cut off a few of the buisness mans fingers, remember the buisnessman was not killed, unlike the innocent victims of smirking remorseless killers torrens knight, Johnny Adair and co. Dessie has had since 1979 to reflect on his crime, and is a reformed character, spending most of his time in Portloise meditating and studying eastern phyllosophies. Remember Dessie O Hare was a child of his time, a child that grew up admist the turmoil at the height of the troubles in the early 70's late 60's in South Armagh, Dessie knew no peace during his lifetime outside of prison. Times have moved on and changed, we now embrace peace and Dessie has done the same, embraced peace, yet he is still locked up. Dessie has more than repaid his debt to society, he has paid his dues being locked up since 1979. To understand Dessie's motives at the time of his crimes, you have to understand Dessie was a child of his time, a time of turmoil and war, times which have changed and so has Dessie. Dessie's background, from the south armagh border, where local people are poor, but are rich in moral integrity and pride. Where local people dont care for the trappings of wealth and status, but instead value the concepts of straight talking, justice, equality and fair play for all, not just the rich and powerful. Despite this, life destroying pillar of society paedophile scum like Vincent mckenna, will get out of prison long before a left wing political prisoner like Dessie O Hare. Smirking remorseless killers like Torrens knight, Johnny adair and co walk free, while Dessie O Hare still remains incarcerated.

Fuck Nationalism could be King Mob in disguise or a few other pro british Quislings who hang out on Indymedia for some reason. But dont worry too much about them they are an insignificant minority. The vast majority of Irish people are gut nationalists. Any Republic of Ireland match and its countless beautiful tricolours shows this. It is mainly trots who fear nationalism or any ideology that has more radical potential than their nutty anti national dogma.

Any organisation or grouping involved in struggle knows that the welfare of prisoners is of vital importance.
Anarchists call for the ending of retributive and pointless incarceration.
If O´Hare is still being held then this appears to be politically motivated. No-one can now deny the importance of the campaigns for release of inocents from Jails and of Saoirse, throughout the last phase of Irish history.
I have left details in other comment fields of the work of the anarchist black cross federation a U.S. based group.
However there are other groups.
I must give mention to Shnews but I can´t spell it today :-)
In Spain at the moment a particularly important campaign has begun for the release of anarchists imprisoned in Valencia.
The Spanish judiciary have also published in the last week "evidence" against five Catalan anarchists and squatters in an attempt to link the Barcelona ocupation movement with ETA targetting and planning.
As long as there are prisons we shall see violence in our society, because prisons are institutionalised violence.
I agree the article is well written.
Credit where credit is due.
when it is due.

The issue is not what Mr O'Hare is guilty of but why he is being treated differently to other republican prisoners. All democrats should support his immediate release the same way that the people involved in the death of Garda McCabe should be treated the same as killers of RUC men or IRA men.

Mr O'Hare is affialiated to the INLA, they are on cease fire and have been for some time now. He should get released the same as the PIRA prisoners were.

Release Dessir O'Hare!

I dont think any sectarian thug should be released. O'Hare's victim may have been a capitalist, but even capitalist deserve their fingers.

O'Hare, Adair and co should be locked up until they realise the error of their sectarian ways. If they are not brainwashed into repenting they should remain as forgotten prisoners.

Well done Jenny, a good article. No doubt the IMC two-faced supporters of prisoners in far off lands will be attacking you very soon.
