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

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.

Nearly 80% of Britain's 'Establishment' is Left-wing. No wonder our 'independent' judges keep making lunatic decisions. It's time they were made accountable to voters once again, says Dr David McGrogan.

Wanted:Songs to Inform & Elevate

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | press release author Sunday October 01, 2006 21:31author by Gearoid - Solasauthor email fitzgibbong at yahoo dot co dot ukauthor address An Gort Mor, Baile an Fheirtearaigh, Dingle, Co Chiarrai, Irelandauthor phone 00 353 876267563 Report this post to the editors

New CD Compilation seeks to reflect and unite POLITICAL & SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS

If you feel you have a song relevant to social, political and spiritual life today; if you have written/recorded music that could raise and elevate public consciousness, then PEOPLE SHOULD HEAR IT!!!

WE WANT TO LET THEM HEAR I!!!

'Solas' is looking for new songs about war, peace, politics, society, & spirit in Ireland & the World for a new CD compilation of music to stir and unite political and spiritual consciousness.

The manifestations of ‘values’ of pure profit are blotting out other human values like respect for each other’s lives, beliefs, integrity and basic well being.

Mainstream music like mainstream politics, has failed to articulate a healthy balance between ECONOMICS and SPIRIRTUALITY/MORALITY.

That balance must arise again, from people’s experience, intelligence and awareness on the ground.

3 years ago 100,000 people in Dublin, along with millions across the globe marched in public to express their opposition to the proposed invasion of Iraq. The wishes of these people were ignored, yet the people, their energies and their creativity are still alive and at work in the world.

We need again to assert our core beliefs and values….publicly, to properly reflect our higher elevated selves.

Songs have always been are great way of uniting people - a compilation of new contemporary songs with a social and spiritual purpose would be a good way to reflect and affirm this culture of intelligence, creativity and justice…..

Please feel free to submit previous or current recorded/written works for this new compilation.

All genres, all styles welcome.

Formats accepted:
-Fully recorded songs
-demo recorded songs on minidisk, cd, mp3 or tape!
-words of songs

Email or send or call.
Title suggestions also welcome.

Once we feel we have a strong enough selection of material, we will then go ahead and organise recording and releasing the compilation.
No fee will be paid but the proceeds from sales of the compilation will be divided up EQAULLY between all the contributors after production costs have been covered.
All copyrights will remain with the contributors and sending in music samples or demos will not constitute in any way agreement to participate in the project. Written agreements will be drawn up with all the final participants of DVD.
If you are interested, or for more information, please contact Gearóid(087-6267563) as soon as possible to discuss.

Indymedia is just one of the places where i'm posting this, but if you give me your email address I'd greatly appreciate if you'd print off a few copies and put them up or give them to people you thought suitable.

I you sent an email to fitzgibbong@yahoo.co.uk....i can answer you there. i'm 30, originally from Limerick, now living in Kerry.

Do you think that there might be a difficulty or at least some confusion releasing a CD as a project, under the banner of "Solas", given that there is still a semi-active band of that name about...

Perhaps, if the CD was titled: "Solas", that wouldn't be a difficulty...

I think you're being a tad unfair on the contributors in the main to Indymedia, whilst there is alot of stuff on here that might not be the most decisive stuff in the strictest sense, I find there is plenty of action in general and the importance of Indymedia is that it gives people a relatively broad audience to talk to...

Things slip off the front page all the time, I'd suggest you probably be best off hosting something on a seperate site and looking for contributors through some of the irish music sites and maybe getting someone to stick up the odd poster in Dublin, perhaps even the old ad in the back of Hot Press (in the musicians contact free section (do they still have this? I haven't bought HP in about 3 years)...

I was a little interested in the background of the organisation (when I thought there was one) in terms of who would be releasing the CD, so perhaps you might like to tell us a little bit about yourself!!!

In terms of your experiences in both activism and music,

Thanks,

JP

Hi jan,
there is no organisation called Solas. It means Light, in the native language of Ireland. i was looking for a name and that sounded nice.

So it would be a bit like me asking you about the organisation called 'humanity'!.

Anyway, i'm a bit disappointed that this post has already gone off the main page. It seems that Indymedia, as an activist network, is being clogged up by press releases and stories, while, informative, are not about ACTION. perhap it has to do with the design of the site. but i do think that priority needs to be given to ACTION AND ACTION AND ACTION. it shouldn't be just another news site.

Do you have any more questions about hte CD project or about me?

Hi Gearoid,

Would it be possible to have some info / links to this organisation: "Solas"???

I'm familiar with the band but not the organisation.

Thanks,

JP
