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.

Dr Andrej Holm- Appeal for Help and Translation services

category international | crime and justice | press release author Wednesday September 26, 2007 19:24author by Friend Report this post to the editors

Update link.

On the Thirty First of July Florian L, Axel H and Oliver R were arrested and detained for the
alleged attemmp to set fire to police vehicles in Brandenburg,They have been detained since that
date. On the same night a lecturer in sociology named Dr Andrej Holm was removed from his
apartment and taken to solitary confinement. his crime was guilt by association- three
academics were also arrested- the accusation against all seven is:-
Membership of a Terrorist Organisation -(129of the German Criminal Code)


The story has been making the rounds for some time and has popped up on indymedia
UK and here on this newswire in the comments section:-

Andrew was released:-

http://einstellung.so36.net

This is is letter to thank supporters, he does not really dwell on the personal suffering
caused to his wife and young kids, nor the fact that she is too a writer and activist who
has lost her whole data bank and had her computer seized.

The backround on the usage of terror laws against the left is on:- http://einstellung.so36.net/en

The protest by the American political Science Association is on:-

http://einstellung.so36.net/en/soli/305

If anyone wants to help one of the contacts who is disseminating information has contacted
a EU feminist site and asked for translators in Spanish/Castellano/French and Polish.

They ask that people with translation ability go to the einstellung pages and pick up the
information and help with translation services- send to einstellung.net

a C+P from Andrej's Letter;-

'"Every sign from outside, every small mention in the papers about a solidarity action,
every new signature to the uncountable protest declarations, and every letter that
reached me in my cell showed me that I am not alone in y powerlessness against
the investigative authorities"

Andrej is on temporary release and must still fight the charges.
He has a young family and needs translation support and solidarity messages.
Please Help!

There is a crucial need for activists with translation experiences to aid the information dissemination
on this case. Ordinary families have been targetted under terrorisme laws;-

There is to be a protest on the Volksbuhne am Rosa- Luxemburg-Platz on 30th September.
Speakers include:-

Christina Clemm,
Dr Ralph Gossner.
Prof Dr Roland Ruth
Dr Britta Grell

The four academics are facing custodial sentences for intellectual terrorism under post 9/11
laws. There is a link in German and graphic of the poster advertising Saturday's Protest.

http://einstellung.so36.net/de/303

The English language links are in the article, there is a contact address for solidarity messages
and a request for language volunteers to translate and spread the issue of 129 across the
IMC's and open source communications network.

Thanks!

or does one have to be an initiate or something to know where one would send the translation & dare we get specific what exactly is the text to be rendered in divers tongues?

I reckon you've to be iniated. That's how my paranoid mind works. Clutching the Apron, circumambulation till you're dizzy, white kid gloves (not many know the origin of the phrase to handle someone with kid gloves comes from the british masonic tradition of presenting an apprentice with two pairs of such gloves one for him & one for his missus back in the days of lore when every brudder had a missus & only people who could afford kid leather got to learn the handshake). Thankfully the continentals got rid of all that bullshit & decided a decent encylcopedia, good dictionary, dose of anarchy & french revolution would bring enlightenment to the masses quicker than you could give the reason for a lodge's existence.

Anyway let them be still & behold the hoary sky for it is done that which they thought they sought

spanish report from Chiapas (((i))) will be picked up on quicker than you find the Joycean references to Masonry which were on your ten quid punt note. oooooooooooo.

Its DIY iosaf.

go into http://einstellung.so36.net.
Get the info:- put it on the sites where you contribute.
it does not matter if you do it in Esperanto/Catalan or Gaeilge.

The thing is to translate the info and spread it around.
If you want to volunteer, same applies go into :- http://einstellung.so36.net. translate what
you feel and think is relevant in the language that you are adept at and re-submit it to the list
where they will add it onto the sites that are working with them.

The reason why its 'DIY' is that the people who are seeking the help have young families
and have masses of work and the added difficulty of losing their computers which are
still impounded/taken/being investigated and they expect that any expertise and help of any
kind will be enough to reduce the workload.

The list that the info comes from is an affinity group in process ,and an internal discussion
group so thats something I won't be publishing. There is also a list of radio stream interviews in
German that could be added in here, if you require them. (?)
