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.

Neo-nazis on Joe Higgins and the Socialist Party

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Sunday June 29, 2003 22:52author by Anon Report this post to the editors

The comments below are lifted from a thread on the Irish section of the neo-nazi site stormfront.org. Looks like some of them would like to cuddle up to Joe O'Toole-Higgins!!

NEO-NAZI TEXT BEGINS

Federation with Britain
It's a little known fact that federation is also promoted by an Irish political party.The Socialist Party has the following in its constitution:

The Socialist Party stands for socialism in Ireland and a socialist federation of Ireland and Britain,entered into on an equal,free and voluntary basis and with the rights of all minorities guaranteed.

They actually have a TD in the Dail.

Now that is scary!
I'm not sure how Irish politics works. Does every area elect their TD? If so, which area does he represent?

It's not this "People's Republic of Cork" I've heard about, is it?

I think his name is O'Toole and he represents some Dublin constituency.That's the sort of character who would fall like a bowling pin to a real nationalist party.

We have multi-seat constituencies of 3-5 seats.Voting is by proportional representation.At the last election a Labour TD got in with 1900 votes thanks to transfers in later counts.

That chap who PM-ed Lochgarman1798 may have been abusive but still his innate hostility to blacks is a promising sign.Louth has a Sinn Fein TD.That party could tumble too.

The Socialist Party would support a united federation because they're Marxists and Marxism = International Socialism. Joe Higgins is their TD and is something of a Dáil institution; he was last in the new for being literally dragged off by Guards during an anti-war protest. Still a least Higgins put his money where his mouth is and only lives on the average industrial wage; I believe he donates the rest to the party. We need people with that commitment in the Dáil, preferably not dour red fanatics like ‘Uncle Joe’ however.
