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

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.

Pigs on trial!!!

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday November 05, 2002 19:23author by MG Report this post to the editors

Seven Gardai are to face criminal charges in connection with last May's attack on Reclaim the Streets protestors on Dublin's Dame Street. The seven officers, who are all facing assault charges, are serving members in the Dublin Metropolitan District. They have all been confined to desk duty pending the outcome of criminal proceedings.

Several unarmed protestors needed hospital treatment following the garda attack on the Reclaim the Streets demonstration on May 6th last.

Several protestors were also charged with "public order offences", but no Gardai were injured during the peaceful demonstration.

Shortly after the event, video-footage broadcast through the mainstream media showed officers with the identification numbers removed beating protestors with their batons.

All of these protestors were defenceless, with many lying on the ground or cornered at the time of the assaults.

Just one garda was initially confined to desk duty after he was clearly seen battering young men and women with his baton.

The Gardai subsequently launched an internal investigation after more than 50 people made complaints about the conduct of officers on the day in question.

That investigation has now, after six months, led to charges being brought against seven Gardai.

How thick can you get. On the Costello thread you had people supporting the state harassment of the IRSP. One moron even believed the cops should have the right to beat up republicans. Just because he doesn't like republicans.

I wonder what IMC think of this? Is it just RTS who should be immune from state violence?

Do they believe Gardai shopuld be allowed to baton Republicans off the streets?

My opposition to the State is good; I should not be beaten up by the cops.

Your opposition to the State; I dont like. So you should be beaten up by the cops.

They are just a bunch of fakepacifists and liberals who will end up in FG, PDs, FF or the right wing of LP.

The behaviour of the Gardaí on the bank holiday of May 2002 was inexcusable. The internal investigation has drawn many conclusions, seven Gardaí facing charges is not the only issue.
We in the wider commnuity want to know police won´t be beating people up again. We want to know what conclusions have been reached concerning police invovlment in future popular celebration of anti-car, anti-capitalist street parties.
We would like a big apology with sugar on top.
We would like to see that wouldn´t we.
Just so we could say. No.
We don´t want your apology and we don´t need your policing.

IMC seem to have opinions when its stories about PSNI recruiting kids as informers.

Not that I would ever imply you are anything other than strictly impartial.

The title of the post said "Wholesale abuse" thats an exggeration if not a down right lie.

Which makes it factually inaccurate. See editorial guidelines.

Its an appalling story and in fact the exaggeration in the title weakens it. It doesn't need that kind of tabloid hyperbole to shock.

So you've no actual facts to back up with slander do you?

If you object to Indymedia editorial policy then join in get involved and play a part.

We're a open collective. You can be a member of the collective. Play a part make decisuons offer objections and opinions.

Unless you'd rather fling about unsubstanitated accusations.

Your point being.

The title was an exaggeration. It wasn't wholesale abuse. You can't claim that one example is proof of wholesale abuse.

Accusing Indymedia of bias because of this one example is idiotic.

author by Aidanpublication date Sat Nov 09, 2002 19:04author address author phone Report this post to the editors

I am the one who suggested changing the articles title.

The article disturbed me and it was an important story, but the words "Wholesale abuse" are just wrong.

It's the style of journalism which gave us the "posh kidnapping" story last week. The title makes a claim which when you examine the story isn't true.

I think that kind of exaggeration makes nice headlines but bad journalism. It's a single case. If an intelligent unbiased person with no preconcieved opinion on the story, read that headline and the article, he/she would rightly see the title as misleading, and might then be suspicious of the other facts in the article. Thus making the whole story worthless.

On the other hand if they read the headline as "PSNI intimidate 13yo into working as informer", and then went on to read the piece, they should rightly be upset and angry.

I don't think the story should be dismissed I think it should be paid attention to, and making wild and false accusations in a headline, that aren't supported in the article makes that easier.

Which would be a shame.
