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.

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 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.

Hundreds march against Bin Tax in Dublin

category dublin | bin tax / household tax / water tax | news report author Saturday February 26, 2005 19:51author by Dave Lordan - swp Report this post to the editors

report on bin tax march

A short report on the bin tax march today

Hundreds of people marched in through Dublin today in protest at the continuing refusal of city councils to provide a public waste collection service for their tax-paying citizens.
Though small by comparison with marches held at the height of the bin tax controversy in 2003, when the media focused heavily on the jailing of campaign activists, the march was broadly representative of working class communities across greater Dublin. It was evidence of a campaign which, though slandered by the right, shunned by the SIPTU leadership and the Labour Party, and hampered by internal divisions, is showing a remarkable resilience in the city's working class heartlands.
There were groups of bin tax campaigners from Shankill, Bray, Dun Laoghaoire, Loughlinstown, Crumlin, Phibsboro, Balbriggan, Clondalkin, Ringsend, East Wall, Cabra, Drimnagh, Templeogue, Ballfermot and elsewhere. A number of council bin workers from the Grangegorman depot also attended.
The SIPTU education branch carried their banner on the march and a letter of protest was handed into liberty hall by SIPTU activists angered at the unions failure to support the campaign.
There were also banners and placards from SWP, Sinn Fein , and the Socialist Party as well as from the Dublin Council of Trade Unions.
There were speakers from all of the above as well as from Mick O Reilly of the ATGWU, the one union, which to its great credit, is 100% behind the campaign. Stalwart campaigner, and independent Socialist councilor, Joan Collins, also addressed the crowd.
Statements of support from the Association of Combined Residents Associations and the Zero Waste Alliance were read out . The support of ZWA, an environmental group, marks an important broadening of the campaign into the environmental movement.
Organisers said the this was only one in the continuing series of protests that are currently taking place about the bin tax. They praised the hundreds of bin tax activists that turned up to the march and called on them to continue to build the campaign in their local areas.
