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.

SWP organise IAWM demo to counter GG demo. Is this true?

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday November 18, 2002 12:28author by jimbo - swerp watch Report this post to the editors

Swerp watch was last night made aware of the following information.

"Aoife Ni Fheargaill and Richard Boyd-Barrett (both SWP members of the 4 people listed as the representatives of the IAWM) initiated the march in Dublin as a response to the information that the Grassroots Gathering had decided to call for a Shannon demonstration."

howya aoife,

details :

There will be a meeting this Wednesday evening to organise for the demonstration called by Grassroots Gathering for December 8th at Shannon airport. This meeting is open to all who wish to help out in organising the demonstration and we would be very happy for people from any political groups or unaligned individuals to attend. Among the items on the agenda we will be talking about:

* Organising buses to get to Shannon and selling tickets for them
* Agreeing poster designs and organising printing and putting them up
* Agreeing the text for a leaflet advertising the demonstration and distributing them.
* Organising a public meeting in the run-up to the demo.
* Discussing tactics for the day itself and liasing with the other groups from around the country.

The meeting will take place upstairs in the Kings Inn pub, on Bolton St, on Wednesday evening (November 20th) at 7pm. Unfortunately we don't really have any funds so the meeting venue is in a pub, however the upstairs is normally empty and should provide a passable venue for the meeting.

decision to hold Dublin march on December 7th was made at meeting the Thursday before the grassroots gathering - i'd been planning to go to belfast to try to get sponsorship from GG for the d7 demo - but unfortunately didn't make this - hopefully people will support both demos particularly since Dec 8th is the next Iraqi deadline - is the GG organising a bus from Dublin and if so how can we get tickets?

I wonder if the decision for the IAWM march was backdated by the SWP members of the council. Any non-swp IAWM people that can confirm that this decision was taken BEFORE the GG call for a demo?

It would help if the SWP/IAWM came out in support of the day of action ay Shannon. Many of the groups and individuals who are organising the day of action at Shannon airport have come out in support of the Dublin march. So far all we have got from the SWP/IAWM is the familiar nasty sectarianism. Come on lads, do the right thing.

Your obviously just trying to stir up bad feeling so please just fuck off. If anything the decision to hold the IAWM demo was made some 36 hours before the GG one.

Get to both if you can, if you can only make one go to the one you reckon will have a bigger impact.

Read the newswire before you post your two-line articles, okay? Both the grassroots gathering and IAWM people have said they were unaware of the other's demo when they called their own (and the IAWM say they called theirs first).

Its hard to paint yourself as morally superior to the SWP when you're just trolling the newswire.
