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.

s.o.u.r.c.e. (for Evian) this Thursday at the SPI Bar, Eden Quay, Dublin

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday May 19, 2003 10:23author by the Good Busauthor email thegoodbus at yahoo dot co dot uk Report this post to the editors

pre-Evian night out...

s.o.u.r.c.e. this Thursday, May 22, downstairs @ The SPI Bar, Eden Quay

s.o.u.r.c.e. is a one-off night happening this Thursday, downstairs in the SPI Bar on Eden Quay (next to Freebird Records/Bus Stop newsagents, just at O'Connell Bridge).

Spinning the discs of varying diameters (fives, sevens, and twelves) for your aural pleasure on the night will be...

Clodagh
Decoy
Dr Groove
Dorothy Kelly
Herv
Jamie Farrell
Karen Eliot
Kate Butler
Krossphader
The Chillage Idiots
Willie

The night kicks off around the 8pm mark and goes on until 2am. Admission is a measly, pathetic, insignificant 2.50 euros, so you've no reason not to get your body down there.

Some information on the disc selectahs in case you've no idea who they is:

- Clodagh is the zine queen of 'Ideas is Matches', the promoter behind the now sadly defunct Club GZ in the Parnell Mooney, and the lead singer in politco punksters Easpa Measpa, whose debut LP is due out within the next month.

- Decoy is one of the boys behind the hugley popular monthly night 'Caribbean Disco Hell' in Grays of Newmarket, tracing a line between deep house and glitchy techno, also a regular on Jazz and Power FM.

- Dr Groove (and his partner in crime Krossphader) started out on Radioactive 101 'back in the day' and migrated later to 'The Sunday Service' on Power FM, which won an ie-dance award for best radio show. His recent choices at the Reclaim The Streets soundsystem typifies his set, which means you can only expect the unexpected.

- Dorothy Kelly is a friendly name and face from ie-dance around the city and beyond, no doubt her ardency for attending every club, gig, and festival under the sun has left her with a music taste that will appeal to many ears.

- Herv is the man with the plan, putting the electro back into electronica. His live sets around the city with the Neuromantek crew have a groove locked in for the feet, the head, and the ass all rolled into one dirty ball.

- Jamie Farrell is one of the always evolving punk/indie/pop quartet Estel, whose follow up to their debut 'Angelpie I think I ate your face' is due out soon (next week I think?), and hopefully will treat the crowd to some of these tracks, as well as many other gems from his huge collection.

- Karen Eliot is one of the people behind new kid on the block freesheet 'Red Flare Mist', spinning concious female hip hop and ultra minimal musique concrete techno.

- Kate Butler started out writing for the enormously successful online zine 'Muse', and now writes occasionally in the Culture section of a small English fanzine called 'The Sunday Times' (never heard of it). Her first love is deep and dirty techno but her taste branches out into countless genres from there.

- Krossphader is the other half of the 'axis of evil' (with Dr Groove), and now aligned to the pirate crew of Neuromantek. Also played on Radioactive and Power, and ran the 'X-Ray Specks' night in the Thomas House. His current amour is electro but his box contains a vast array of influences, from reggae to ska to dub to punk to hardcore to pop. Another crowd pleaser at Reclaim The Streets on Mayday.

- The Chillage Idiots is a twin headed hydra of Mick & Paul, playing on indie pirate Alice's Restaurant and then Xfm since the year dot. Their Sunday night show features the best in local and international electronica. Their DJ sets are delightfully unpredictable affairs, often starting with hushed ambience and degenerating into old style 808 madness.

- Willie is the brains behind the excellent long-running punk/skatercore fanzine 'Non-Plastique' and also one of the boys from the sadly disbanded group Bambi, whose records like 'Warning: May Contain Traces of Peanut' and incendary live shows turned Dublin venues into many a sweaty, shouty, adrenalised mess.

Thanks to all of these people for coming along and playing their favourite tunes on the night.

s.o.u.r.c.e. is a fundraiser for food and other expenses for "the Good Bus", which is a bunch of people from Ireland heading to Evian, France, for the anti G8 summit protests, which take place at the start of June. For more information on the Good Bus, check out http://www.geocities.com/thegoodbus For more info on whats happening in Evian, check out http://www.nadir.org/nadir/initiativ/agp/free/evian/index.htm


So that's this Thursday, May 22, at 8pm downstairs in the SPI Bar. See you then kids.

Is the bar owned by the Socialist Party? Appalling. Connolly and Larkin were strongly against alcohol abuse.

Wasnt Flann O'Brien a raging alcoholic? Didnt Jesus drink wine? Did Van Gogh drink absinthe? Didnt the Situationist intoxicate themselves on anti freeze?

"Wasnt Flann O'Brien a raging alcoholic? Didnt Jesus drink wine? Did Van Gogh drink absinthe? Didnt the Situationist intoxicate themselves on anti freeze? "

None of the above were scientific socialists. Jesus was a chronic reformist and neo-colonialist; remember his "render onto Caeser..." piece?
