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.

They too are whores of George Bush

The Leadership of Sinn Fein are for the war there support for the IAWM is shambolic - Follow the money trail - you can bet your bottom doller they won't be there to support us tomorrow.

Ladies and Gentlemen lets consider where SF gets its money from, lets say ‘97 to ’01 please find below a copy of a document I’ve seen: my favorite “donation” has to be the cheque for US$295,740 in ’01 from the boys and gals on Wall Street – that seems a long way from a “tin” in a pub in west Belfast! Perhaps it’s one of those new Laundromats – I know SF like to recycle their money.

What does Sinn Fein have to do with anti-War? They're not pacifists.

what sort of shite is this Dave ?

just becuase Sinn Fein raises money in US and OZ , how the fuck do you come to the conclusion that they are backing the war .

Thousand of ordinary ex pats have contributed to that money not "Wall St."

author by James McKennapublication date Thu Mar 20, 2003 11:28author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Dave ,

why are you attacking Sinn Fein? Should we not attact those who are pro-war, not those who are out marching with us?

I suggest you do similar research into Fianna Fail and Progressive Democrat money sources . Anyway your doing good work for the Government Dave, maybe Joe Walsh will let you wear his Grand Cross. The one he got from the so called Spanish King the week after he dodged Irish Farmers when they drove to Dublin to see him.

On the day war breaks out in Iraq, on the day when the Yanks and the Brits are murdering Iraqi people you can't find anything better to do than attack the Shinners?

Not everyone that is anti war is a pacifist. I am not a pacifist, the problem I have with this war is that is not in the interests of ordinary people it is about Oil and Profits. That is why I oppose it. I would be prepared to support any war that is a genuine one that liberates people. Foir example I would critically support the Vietnamese in the Vietnam war.

As a supporter of the movement, I am unhappy with our lack of action so far, we have enough apeople and could easily shut down Shannon and elsewhere if we really wanted, unlike the hot air merchants in the swp and sp who have no popular support among the Irish people.

A little bit of more research would have shown that FSF is actually Friends of Sinn Fein who raise money in the traditional way in US, through dinner dances, raffles, draws etc. The money raised by FSF is usually through in the blue collar areas of NE USA.

Although you are keen on slagging us off I suppose you don't obejct to SF lending their considerable activist base to assist with postering or stewarding in the anti-war demos. And the SF councillors and TDs arranging for motions and questions in Leinster house and city hall?

Now lets get real and stay united and focused.

Lets hope all shades of the politcal spectrum are at the US embassy tonight.

im not attacking the rank and fine of SF if you'll excuse the pun, its the leadership - it explains why they haven't really being pushing the walk out etc, it all adds up.

The money would dry out if Adams was seen in an anti war protest - I stand over what I said - they've sold us out.
