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 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.

I'm not saying a socialist voice should be at every SF conference. Of course not. SF are not socialists and they disagree with socialists on Europe. Similarly the SP are not nationalists as SF are and will not invite them to their conferences.

Point is that where there is a conference which claims to be discussing the different views of the EU constitution why did SF not invite a socialist group/party/individual? I think that they are afraid of being outflanked on the left as SF support fully the Euro currency and the cuts and "reforms" needed to have a common currency under the control of Frankfurt.

The SP and SWP would be more active than SF in my opinion. SF may have more members in certain areas however, but their average activity level is lower. SF are nowhere to be seen when it comes to campaigning on local issues such as bin tax, or water tax in the North where SF actively oppose non-payment and do nothing to build cross community opposition. SF refuse to even go into protestant areas in the North. I'm sure when the EU constitution referendum is called in the UK the SP and SWP will be doing more active work in both communities.

You took me up wrong. I never said that that none of them campaigned against those treaties. Read my piece again. I said that you can be guaranteed that far more members of SF were out campaigning against those treaties which is a plain fact. I have no problem acknowledging those other groupings opposition to those treaties as well.

Also, I never said that the SP NEVER invited SF to ANY conference they organised. I questioned whether they invited SF to EVERY conference they organised which they plainly do not, as they are perfectly entitled to. There is a huge difference.

SF, like any other party such as the SP and SWP or anyone else, cannot invite every other single party to every conference that they organise. There were a number of speakers at this conference from other left wing groupings. You should not get hung up at the SP not being at this particular one just as SF shouldnt get hung up if the SP dont invite them to some conference. I can think of loads of SP and SWP events that there was no SF speaker at or had invites to speak. Its no big deal.

The fact is that SP did invite SF to a debate on nationalism last November (I think). It was a discussion between Eoin O'Broin and Peter Hadden. The above advertised conference is a discussion and debate type conference. I'm sure they would have had to consider inviting an SP or SWP member. But they choose not to for some reason. Why did they? I think you will find that the SP and SWP were involved in campaigning against the referenda you mention. It's plain wrong to say otherwise.

'Did Sinn Fein invite the Socialist Party to this conference? Or are ye afriad that they will expose your pro-Euro currency policy?'

What, do the SP invite SF to address every conference that they organise? I dont think so. There are many other speakers from left wing organisations other than Sinn Fein at this conference.

And I can gurantee you one thing. Far more SF activists and leaders were out on the streets throughout this country campaigning against the Maastricht, Amsterdam and Nice 1 and 2 Treaties than from the Socialist party. And I can guarantee you another thing. The same will be true in this referendum campaign.

Sinn Fein were really shown up in the irish times recently when Pronsias de Rossa noted that there were something like 5,000+ submissions in the process of writing the constitution coming from virtually every party,ngo and organisation across europe, notable exception being SF,seems to me all SF are doing is jumping on the anti-constitution bandwagon to look for votes and profile in the campaign.
