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.

Is this politics?

There has been an e-mail circulating concerning a protest outside the FAI offices on Merrion Square today at 7.30. Will this be attended by all the fools who laughed at me in the past for wasting my time whilie protesting against war and inequality? I'd like to see the crowd both the make up and the scale. I'm interested in seeing it but unfortunately I cant make it (I'm going playing a bit of football). So if anyone is in the area and a little curious maybe they could post a few details later or tomorrow? Did these protesors take thier lead from the wave of protest on the news this last few years? Is there a way to get these people out on other marches now that they 'march'? Yours baffled but still in love with the beautiful game.

With their past record at protests and talk of the Soccer hooligans of late be careful at the protest we do not know how the Gardai will react, ;-), or do we?

It's actually quite simple. As working class people, we are interested in and motivated by football and don't have much time for your ridiculuous protests - largely attended by white dreads and the middle class - which seem to involve mouthing off about about how much you hate cops and wanting to remove them and then crying when they kick the fuck out of your poncey middle class "radical" arses.
Simple really

There isnt a snowballs chance that the cops will say diddly squat to anybody, this is a crosssection of the community that would be described as non confrontational; which is why they should be on more marches than this.
And to Patrick with his 'working class grievances', that horse is dead, dont keep flogging it, there have been more than one or two marches in the last few years, most of which had working class connotations or interests at heart. Recognising your friends is as important as indentifying your enemies.

good god, you paranoid nutbag, the questions posed on that link were asked and answered immediately and then I left it. I was being challenged by people who knew I was there and couldnt answer these questions. I had a row with a fireman who claimed they (the brigade) werent there from the start, and that they were hit by stuff thrown at them. Whats this site for anyway? Independent Media or a biased left wing platform to counter the narrowmindedness in the mainstream media. Are you suggesting secret undergound meetings? For me that's halfway to condemning yourself.

I am not opposed to a protest, but given the treatment Roy Keane has been subjected to by the shower known as the FAI, the cock up they and the "manager" made of the world cup preparations, and the approach of his "team mates", if I was Roy Keane, far from making an apology, I would tell the shower in Merrion Square, the "Manager" and his fellow players to shove it and go on holiday with my family.

does any one else think its crazy that the whole roy keane saga has been taking first place on the news everyday, ahead of whats happening in pakistan and india. so fucking what if some footballer won't play in some competition, its only a game, there are way more important things going on. take for example the fact that young children are being exploited- making the usual football crap that goes with every world cup. its a bit sickening that a game has been made into a multi billion pound/euro industry, that teams pay millions for players while people starve every day. theres no problem with having an interest in sport, but some people are drugged by it, they know more about manchester united than they do about the real world around them, that cannot be healthy. i can't believe that people actually protested about roy keane, its just a game, these people wouldn't protest to make their own lifes or others better but they protest about a football player! what kind of a crazy world do we live in???

Just to clarify my earlier comments were meant as a joke. Part of me does echo what Tracey has stated, but I will still be up at 7.30 Saturday morning

I am shocked to learn that after the way Roy Keane has been shafted, you are still planning to display solidarity with McCarthy & co. You should switch off in protest.
