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.

WHEN GOOD COPS GO BAD - GARDA IN DISGRACE

WHEN GOOD COPS GO BAD - GARDA IN DISGRACE Garda attacked minors, women, children, disabled and passers-by after totally loosing control of themselves and the situation on Mondays Reclaim The Streets Mayday Party
3780_1.JPG

The Battle For Dame Street
After ripping off there ID numbers, Cops randomley attacked Protesters and innocent bystanders in scenes reminiscent of the RUC attacking Civil Rights demonstrators in 1960s Northern Ireland.
Gardai in Disgrace, Shock and outrage at this sickening assault on democracy.
Garda acted with impunity once again showing there disregard for the Law and Order they claim to protect.

The so called Justice Minister should resign in shame after his brutal thugs got caught in the act. police Brutality and random violence, who polices the police? Gardai investigating Gardai, Free and Fair? or a sham, a cover-up and a whitewash?

Serious questions are being asked, where was this violate directed from? Europe? the Government? or just the over zealous thugs in uniforms? The Irish council for Civil Liberties condemned the "Garda Attacks" and "Excessive Garda force"
Garda and Government are on the back foot after the sickening pictures of police violence were screened on RTE/TV3 (well done Indymedia!)

This was just another example of the crackdown on civil liberties in Ireland and worldwide since Sept 11th.
Car Free Day RTS 8 arrested
Anti War Demos 4 arrested
Burlington PPP Protest 18 arrested
Anyone who did not see this coming has not been on a Irish Demo recently or on a Anti globalisation Protest before.

Garda are giving "No Comment" but all Ireland witnessed there disgusting actions on Monday night.
Irelands Shame - The right to public protest is at the heart of a democracy and should be respected.

Stand up to violence - Be Peaceful - Thursday 6pm Pearse Street Garda Station.
When will they realise that by attacking anti-globalisation protests they only make the "Movement of Movements" even Stronger. (Seattle and Genoa)

No police were hurt in the "riot" and there is no evidence (picture or video) that the protesters were in anyway violent, there is however a very large amount of evidence to support the claims that the Police attacked (unprovoked) a peaceful street party leading too 14 people needing hospital treatment.

The Gards irresponsible actions put everybody at risk and they must be held accountable for there sickening acts of random violence against unarmed people

If I was in dame street on Monday I would'nt have used a baton I'd use a BLEEDIN HURL to bate every hippy and long haired waster the length of dame street, The Gardai used the wrong tactics they should have set alsatian dogs on the layabouts.

Obviously your comments have shown your intelligence, and thats all I can say, your ignorance is the cause of so much hatred in the world, you use violent comments to get your point across, if I am a hippy then you are a scumbag.

I agree with Shamey. It's up to all true blue dubs to stand up to these lefties. I would encourage a counter protest on thursday and we could have a go off these hippies The cops were heroes when they lashed into england fans at the battle of landsdowne Rd a few years ago and now when they do the same against these good for nothings they are now portrayed as the Bad guys. If you want to talk about violence you'd want to have dancd at Kojaks in the 70's you took your life in your hands when you asked a mot to dance for Jaysus sake.

What's the reason for the macho language?

For God's sake, you yourself described it as "sickening acts of random violence against unarmed people".

It takes 2 or more sides to have a battle. This was an attack.

Shamey, it's people like you that really tire me. You'd rather be shopping at Woodies at the weekend than do anything else. I'll tell you what macho boy I'll meet you anytime and see if you canbate up Dame street with your hurl. Name the time and place you no mark!

The Dublin 4 lefties got a taste of reality on Monday If these hippies attacked cops in America they'd be shot without hesitation or any other law abiding country Everyone rants on about zero tolerance and dealing with joyriders but when these do gooders get a taste of zero tolerance they are all up in arms squaling and crying about garda brutality, welcome to the real world.

As a Dublin person Shamey you should maybe stop criticising the so called "hippies" for doing their bit and get off your own hole and make a difference for the city you are so proud of.

Why should we all get riled up by Shame-y. He's only a wannabee nazi (and probably a closet homosexual), who hides his pretend Garda uniforn from his mammy under his bed and only wears it on special occasions, like when Deano the ballyer bum boy calls over. Lets all turn up the heat on Pat Byrne and go to the rallies tomorrow and leave Shame-y and Deano to play hide the truncheon.

this is the first i have heard of disabled people being attacked and unless you can provide photo evidence or witness accounts i am of the opinion that this is a complete lie.i have no doubt that if there was any disabled person attacked they would be on liveline quicker than bertie in his car.
i do think the boys in blue were out of order but i also think that making a claim like this is out of order too.
i find its hard to believe some of the stuff on indymedia these days.

author by Keithpublication date Wed May 08, 2002 18:52author address author phone Report this post to the editors

There is NO way the gardaí should have launched an unprovoked attack against these peaceful protesters who were doing NO harm. I have lost any respect I have had for our so called "Guardians of the Peace".

One of the gardaí involved has been "reassigned to indoor duties" pending investigation. They should put him in a cell in Mountjoy with the rest of the violent criminals and throw away the key.

Shame on the people who are posting unsavoury comments about so called "hippies". We are all citizens of the same country and ALL of our rights have been violated.

On the contrary, disabled people WERE attacked, it's photographed, and I saw it myself. A young fella called James who was on crutches was fucked out of it by the police early on in the afternoon and dragged into the back of a police van on a broken leg.

Jes, People talk about the police in the North, I dont think they would get away with that, they have a new Ombudsman in the North and I buy the Northern press and there are police there being arrested for incivility, thats outrageous. But the picture shown is disgraceful.
