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.

Grassroots Gathering 9

The death of partnership - what now for grassroots activism?

Dublin Grassroots Network presents

GRASSROOTS GATHERING 9

- The death of partnership
- What now for grassroots activism?

Friday 1st of April to Sunday 3rd of April
St Nicholas of Myra community centre, Carmens Hall, off Francis St.,
Dublin 8

Across a wide spectrum of movements - from community development
to trade unions, from environmentalism to disability rights - activists
are becoming aware that partnership is not working for them. Both formal
Social Partnership as well as "partnership with a small p" - exercises in
consultation and discussion at every level of government - are becoming
top-heavy exercises which involve us in endless meetings and writing
document after document, which are then ignored completely.

This Gathering aims to bring activists from different sectors together to
compare our experiences of "the death of partnership" and to ask what our
alternatives are: "where to from here for grassroots activism?" We are
holding plenary discussions on these topics as well as a wide range of
workshops, video showings and social events designed to give activists a
chance to meet each other, swap stories, express our anger and brainstorm
on what we can do now.

Confirmed speakers and participants to date are involved in community
activism, Shannon protests, independent trade union organising, opposition
to incinerators, the women's movement, anti-racist work, the global
justice movement, community and alternative media, the project for a
social centre in Dublin and guerrilla gardening!

Grassroots Gatherings are free and open to everyone involved in or
interested in grassroots, non-hierarchical activism. Good veggie food and
childcare will be provided.

If you would like to organise a workshop, set up a stand or get involved
in some other way, contact: grassrootsdublin@yahoo.com

i'm really interested in going, but i've never been involved in anything like grassroots before, plus i'm only sixteen- should i still come along?

author by GGerpublication date Sun Mar 27, 2005 19:11author address author phone Report this post to the editors

You bet you should come along. Grassroots Gatherings are open to anybody who is interested in building a better world from below. You don't have to be a member of anything or have been involved in any political stuff before. The workshops have a really broad range of themes and the speakers are from all sorts of different campaigns. The idea is that people can go along, hear different voices, take part in discussions and make up their own minds, rather than listening to a single 'party line'. There is also normally a big mix of different age-groups.
