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.

An absolutely superb weekend in the beautiful surrounds of North West Mayo.

Fair play to all who attended over the weekend-to the camp residents for all their hard work,to the Bitchin Kitchen crew for keeping us all fed and watered,to the Tir na gCasta crew for bringing their sound rig down and keepin us dancin til dawn,Revolt Video for the vids,Jose and Maggie for their talks and to F for organising the bus from Dublin.

Shell will ot break our spirit and solidarity no matter what tactics they use-they may have the financial might but we have the moral and mental strength to resist their attempt at extending their already massive global tradition of theft and oppression to our shores.

Great pics William and SovietPop-one for the annals.
Onward!
Solidarity!

Great pictures William and the one on sovietpops link are fantastic too. Manage to sum up the weekend brilliantly. Well done to everyone on the camp for organising such a fantastic weekend, to the speakers (esp. Jose, was everybody taking notes on how to build a revolution?) and the locals for their hospitality and the efforts they made to explain the situation to us.
Just over 51 weeks to the next solidarity camp!
Start stocking up on sunblock and midge repellant!

Great work done: to the community who stood up, to those that stood up alongside them. Is it the camp the best example of a "sustainable community" existing presently in Ireland? and with offers to set up a community garden from the hostel up the road.......
Fair play to all the thought and work that has gone into making the solidarity camp one of the most amazing places ive been, im convinced we'll win, and why shouldn't this be the spark that wakes up the world. 5000 years ago people knew what mattered and lived accordingly on this little island, i have hope that it will still be like that in another 5000.

So, maybe now we will start to see some stepping up of things around the country, perhaps "operation splish splash splosh" might take on a new lease of life - if so watch out shell, you can go to HELL.

Jose Sagarnaga travelled from London to Rossport for the weekend. He showed a documentary about privatisation of water, gas and other natural resources in his native Bolivia. Recently-elected president Evo Morales has promised to renationalise the gas, but according to Jose, it's much more complicated than that: it's not quite as good as it sounds (no time to go into it all right now).

Rossport is in the background in the photo of Jose. The camp is in fact quite far from Rossport by road; it is located in the sand-dunes next to Glengad Beach where Shell and co want to bring the pipe ashore. It would then cross the estuary to Rossport (the estuary is barely visible in the photo of Jose).
