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

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.

Galway activists reclaim the streets building for ESF

category galway | anti-capitalism | press release author Monday November 03, 2003 20:22author by Kieran Cunnane - Galway Anti-Capitalist Movementauthor email kierancunnane at eircom dot netauthor phone 091 770067 Report this post to the editors

Galway activists reclaim the streets building for ESF.
pic7_1.jpg

Activists for a wide range of issues reclaimed the streets of Galway on Saturday 1st Nov by holding a carnival of information stands on a wide range of issues. The colorful event was organised to highlight the upcoming European Social Forum, and also helped to reclaim the streets. In recent weeks, the authorities have been harassing campaigner’s rights to have a table on the street, with a community warden on one occasion calling the guards. The authorities are no doubt upset by Defend Free Speech, Assembly and Activity putting them under the public microscope. The harassment was an attempt to bully people using a law intended for the open road on a pedestrian street. Now NGO’s and political parties have united by writing a combined signed letter to each of the local news papers. The letter (stating that we the undersigned will not be bullied off our streets) was published in the Galway Advertiser, the Connacht Tribune and the Galway Independent. Saturday’s event re-established campaigners rights. Communication with the Guards was friendly, and the community warden stayed well away.
The event was well supported by groups with stands on Fair Trade, 3rd World and Debt Reduction, amnesty International, Public Transport, Waste Management, Ireland Palestine Solidarity, Anti-war, Anti-Capitalism and Free Speech. Pictures available.

what 's this then, a positive piece of sort-of-direct action, possibly being slightly successful.........better not comment then........

What is this site like - can't ppl recognise progress and then debate future strategy....or does Dublin based news exclusively count as 'news'?


Good show of Solidarity, folks in Galway.....as for indymedia..........

We could all post 'well done Galway'

But otherwise you'll find the most popular threads are those where indymedia user disagree with each other. Slight disagreements (eg between SWP and SP) are more popular then major disagreements.

The real world works like that too.

where are all the galway readers comments?

author by Steeliepublication date Fri Nov 07, 2003 16:19author address author phone Report this post to the editors

What's with the use of the 'reclaim the streets' phrase? As far as I can make out from the pictures and text there was no occupation of a street and blocking of traffic. Forgive me for being pedantic, but I thought that was the meaning of 'reclaiming the streets'.

There are all sorts of people trying to recuperate the phrase since it became prominent in Ireland. A Dublin FG councillor even had a 'reclaim your street' headline in one of his bulletins - referring to an appeal for more cops!

I'm not intending to criticise the action, just quibbling about the use of the phrase when it seems that no street was reclaimed. Maybe 'reclaiming our rights' or 'reclaiming our voices' would have been better. Otherwise, fair play keep the pressure up on the council.

Council tries to ban street gatherings so resisting such a ban is 'reclaiming the stree' is it not.

I didn't realise that. Fair play to the galwegians again. Anybody else got a quibble to keep ollie happy? ;-)

it get's uttered every day in multiple contexts and meanings quite magical. But I assure you it never changes what is thought to be termed "true meaning".
