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.

Activist First aid

category dublin | anti-capitalism | news report author Tuesday July 22, 2003 17:32author by padraicauthor email wageslave at eircom dot netauthor phone 087 643 6473 Report this post to the editors

This Saturday in Dublin (venue details to follow) there will be an activist first aid workshop held by a woman from Germany.

Here's a bit of a spiel in her own words:

"I`m not an official first-aid teacher, I just have lots of experiances with first-aid at demonstrations. And I organised many courses with official trainers for the left scene of Norderstedt in the last years.
I`m interested in an international exchange of experiances with first-aid at demonstrations (and anti-fascist activities...). A meeting with me will be no substitution for a complete official first-aid course made by the red cross or other organisations.

Most of my practice is with tear gas and bat used by the police (or "normal" accidents at festivals and punk-concerts).
I`m able to tell (and practise with) you following themes: own safety of helpers, moving casualties out of danger area, first contact to injured person, unconsciousness, pulse and respiration control, shock, dangerous bleedings, concussion, wound treatment, eye washing and fractures. "

So if you have any interest in first aid at demos or protests, are thinking of going summitt hopping in the near future or volunteered for the medical group of the gg antiwef initiative then this is probably the thing for you!
There's only so many people can be facilitated so can people email or ring me (087 643 6473) to confirm that they want to go?

Most of our 'revolutionary' activists consider that pulling down a fence is a most dastardly piece of violence, that could never be justified. So, naturally, it is rare that they need medical treatment at their demos.

However, if the Fraulhein has much experience in treating 'speechifiers throat', 'placard wavers elbow', or that most awful of psychological ailments: 'unrequited love of the leader', then she may come in handy. If not I fear that she won't be much use.

Fare point, but it's convenient to have some knowledge when abroad at more 'active' protests. And besides, knowing a bit of first-aid is very handy.
