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

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.

PROPOSAL OF COORDINATION OF the EUROPEAN GROUPS BY a CAMPAIGN OF SOLIDARITY WITH AUTONOMY ZAPATISTA and AGAINST the WAR OF DESTRUCTION in CHIAPAS (Mexico)
we go, we go, we go!

Proposal

In order to activate a reaction - coordinated and massive of protest, it denounces, pressure and vindication on the reality of Mexico, we went to all the groups, organizations and shared in common people of the European scope, stops between the set to actually send and to develop to a Campaign of solidarity and mutual support with the zapatistas communities in Chiapas and against the repression that come suffering from 1994, increased lately of alarming way, with clear signals definitively to reactivate, to break out again and to impose in that state of the Mexican Southeastern badly the call "war of low intensity" (GBI), that single tries the extermination and genocide against his indigenous towns and settlers, beginning by those who proclaim zapatistas and continue resisting with dignity by their individual and collective rights, constructing to its autonomy, exerting the direct democracy and inventing at every moment the other way to make policy, the other way to govern, to govern themselves and to construct in here and now the new world that we took in our hearts. In such campaign, without leaving outside its general missions the right reclamation to the fulfillment in the Agreements of San Andrés, the freedom of tod*s l*s pres*s polític*s, the respect to the human rights and against the diverse open conflicts that undergo the people and towns of all Mexico, mainly the natives, generated and harnessed with total impunity from the own government (federal and state), by means of their police forces, military and paramilitary, with the accomplice and generalized silence of national and international mass media, in connivencia with the interests of the great capital, their neoliberalism and the multinationals that represent it, within a climate and to come from constant tension, scorn, repression, despoliation, genocide and fascismo. And in the most specific still, aim of this Campaign he would be "yet what in addition he is decided to accompany by those who to her adds obtaining to form an European Caravan of Solidarity that in the summer and during 15 days crosses the different zones and zapatistas communities in conflict from Chiapas (Mexico).

Program-propose

... opened to the imagination and forces of those who add as a whole In each place and country, to carry out a series of acts and activities coincident in the time and that are followed one another uninterruptedly, in principle to be developed and to include all the 2008, occurring to its public beginning the eve of next the 16 of February and/or that same day, date of the twelfth anniversary of the company/signature in the Agreements of San Andrés between the EZLN and the Mexican government, but failed to fulfill by the this last and following governments who have happened to him since then. Between such possible initiatives, its concretion and calendar could be as it follows: 15 and 16-February: in each place (city and country) to make informative press conferences and acts to present the Campaign, its reasons and objectives, announcing from that moment its beginning and summoning to add itself to the different activities that are developed to the effect. 22-February to the?-April: SUPPORT in the European TOUR of CAPISE, beginning in the Spanish state, with all the informative acts, interviews, meetings and other activities that can be made specific to the effect. 22 to 29-February: acts of information on the VI-CCIODH (international civil commission of observation of human rights in Mexico), its conclusions and recommendations... in the places where every one understands and can make it.

10 to 19-March: campaign informative in Airports and Travel agencies main, directed whoever to go to Mexico and explaining true reality of that country... taking advantage of dates and vacations Easter (or in each place, when better it is understood that such activity could come, for example, being able to do later also facing the summer and in the dates of Christmas).

With such initiative, the idea entails another way of in addition trying to imply to artists and intellectuals, especially being able to take advantage of the tour CAPISE to be promoting it and successfully obtaining works, that soon could end up auctioning itself and that the money was for the necessities of legal resources or others of the prisoners and prey of there... On the other hand, the date indicated for its possible beginning is not accidental, because it would be to agree with the sad anniversary of the happened thing in the Atenco-Texcoco. Like possible, to decide: ... before May, that the people reunan themselves by states and at the end of May, via Internet or also meeting at European level in the place that more good is considered, to design and to make specific that caravan of 15 days by Chiapas, next to all the others that she remembers and she comes, simultaneously that this became a mediatic phenomenon to inform, to spread and to sensitize to the rest of the planet....

June: campaign of massive mobilizations, preferredly manifestations, but also like alternative or parallelly with concentrations, long waits, occupations, etc... trying to make agree the dates in all the places that are made.

End-June to half-full-July (15 days, being to fix the dates between tod*s): permanent caravan of international observers, trying whom outside very remarkable in number of components (we say like ideal minimum - by example of 150 to 200 people), that visits the Snails, MAREZ and zapatistas communities (with greater problems and conflicts) in Chiapas...

During the same one, filming soon to publish and to spread â??Documental-Chiapas-2008.

PROPUESTA DE COORDINACIÓN DE LOS COLECTIVOS EUROPEOS POR UNA
CAMPAÑA DE SOLIDARIDAD CON LA AUTONOMÍA ZAPATISTA
y CONTRA la GUERRA de exterminio en CHIAPAS (México)
¡ vamos, vamos, vamos !!!

Propuesta

Con el propósito de activar una reacción -coordinada y masiva- de protesta, denuncia, presión y reivindicación sobre la realidad de México, nos dirigimos a todos los colectivos, organizaciones y personas solidarias del ámbito europeo, para entre el conjunto lanzar y desarrollar una Campaña de solidaridad y apoyo mutuo en la práctica con las comunidades zapatistas en Chiapas y contra la represión que vienen sufriendo desde 1994, incrementada en los últimos tiempos de manera alarmante, con claras señales de reactivar, recrudecer e imponer definitivamente en ese estado del sureste mexicano la mal llamada "guerra de baja intensidad" (GBI), que solo pretende el exterminio y genocidio contra sus pueblos y pobladores indígenas, empezando por quienes se proclaman zapatistas y siguen resistiendo con dignidad por sus derechos individuales y colectivos, construyendo su autonomía, ejerciendo la democracia directa e inventando en cada momento la otra manera de hacer política, la otra manera de gobernar, gobernarse y construir en el aquí y ahora el nuevo mundo que llevamos en nuestros corazones.
En tal campaña, sin dejar fuera de sus objetivos generales el justo reclamo al cumplimiento de los Acuerdos de San Andrés, la libertad de tod*s l*s pres*s polític*s, el respeto a los derechos humanos y contra los diversos conflictos abiertos que sufren los gentes y pueblos de todo México, principalmente los indígenas, generado y potenciado con total impunidad desde el propio gobierno (federal y estatales), mediante sus fuerzas policiales, militares y paramilitares, con el cómplice y generalizado silencio de los medios de comunicación nacionales e internacionales, en connivencia con los intereses del gran capital, su neoliberalismo y las multinacionales que lo representan, dentro de un clima y proceder de constante tensión, desprecio, represión, despojo, genocidio y fascismo.
Y en lo más específico aún, el fin de esta Campaña sería “con todo lo que además se decida acompañar por quienes a ella se sumen- el conseguir formar una Caravana europea de Solidaridad que en el verano y durante 15 días recorra las distintas zonas y comunidades zapatistas en conflicto de Chiapas (México).

Programa-propuesta

...abierto a la imaginación y fuerzas de quienes se sumen en su conjunto
En cada lugar y país, llevar a cabo una serie de actos y actividades coincidentes en el tiempo y que se vayan sucediendo ininterrumpidamente, en principio para desarrollarse y abarcar todo el 2008, dándose su inicio público la víspera del próximo 16 de febrero y/o ese mismo día, fecha del duodécimo aniversario de la firma de los Acuerdos de San Andrés entre el EZLN y el gobierno mexicano, pero incumplidos por este último y los siguientes gobiernos que le han sucedido desde entonces.
Entre tales iniciativas posibles, su concreción y calendario podría quedar como sigue:
15 y 16-febrero: en cada lugar (ciudad y país) realizar ruedas de prensa y actos informativos para dar a conocer la Campaña , sus motivos y objetivos, anunciando desde ese momento su inicio y convocando a sumarse a las distintas actividades que se vayan desarrollando al efecto.
22-febrero al ?-abril: APOYO en la GIRA europea de CAPISE, empezando en el estado español, con todos los actos informativos, entrevistas, reuniones y demás actividades que se puedan concretar al efecto.
22 al 29-febrero: actos de información sobre la VI-CCIODH (comisión civil internacional de observación de derechos humanos en México), sus conclusiones y recomendaciones... en los lugares donde cada quien entienda y pueda realizarlo.

10 a 19-marzo: campaña informativa en Aeropuertos y Agencias de Viaje principales, dirigida a quienes quieran ir a México y explicando la verdadera realidad de aquel país... aprovechando las fechas y vacaciones de Semana Santa (o en cada lugar, cuando mejor se entienda que pudiera proceder tal actividad, por ejemplo, pudiéndose hacer también de cara al verano y más tarde en las fechas de navidad).

10-abril: conciertos y/u otras actividades culturales en apoyo a la Campaña general... eligiendo esta fecha por ser el aniversario del asesinato de Zapata.

4-mayo: inicio de campaña de solidaridad con l*s pres*s polític*s zapatistas y de todo México... de 6 a 9 meses de duración, mediante exposición de pinturas, fotos y carteles... pudiendo partir de un país y ciudad concretos del territorio europeo, para continuar después por el resto (según se dieran las posibilidades de interés y coberturas precisas), en cada lugar pudiendo ir añadiendo más obras y materiales, terminando por ejemplo- en el estado español, para en su final llegar a México (entre octubre y diciembre), recorrer los plantones que hay en las cárceles y donde más se pueda llegar, solicitando que de ello se pudieran encargar y asumir por la Otra Campaña y el FPDT y la APPO y... ????
Con tal iniciativa, la idea conlleva otra manera de además- intentar de implicar a artistas e intelectuales, máxime pudiendo aprovechar la gira de CAPISE para ir promocionándolo y recabando obras, que luego podrían terminar subastándose y que el dinero fuera para las necesidades de recursos jurídicos u otras de los presos y presas de allí... Por otra parte, la fecha indicada para su posible comienzo no es casual, pues sería coincidir con el triste aniversario de lo ocurrido en Atenco-Texcoco.
Como posible, por decidir: ...antes de mayo, que las gentes se reunan por estados y a finales de mayo, vía internet o también reuniéndose a nivel europeo en el lugar que mejor se considere, para diseñar y concretar esa caravana de 15 días por Chiapas, junto a todo lo demás que se acuerde y proceda, a la vez que esto se convirtiese en un fenómeno mediático para informar, difundir y sensibilizar al resto del planeta....

junio: campaña de movilizaciones masivas, preferentemente manifestaciones, pero también como alternativa o paralelamente con concentraciones, plantones, ocupaciones, etc... procurando hacer coincidir las fechas en todos los lugares que se realicen.

Finales-junio a mediados-julio (15 días, quedando por fijar las fechas entre tod*s): caravana permanente de observadores internacionales, pretendiendo que fuera muy notable en número de componentes (digamos como mínimo ideal -por ejemplo- de 150 a 200 personas), que visite los Caracoles, MAREZ y comunidades zapatistas (con mayores problemas y conflictos) en Chiapas...

Durante la misma, filmando para luego editar y difundir un “Documental-Chiapas-2008.

Documentación complementaria y Soportes informativos
Dossier informativo: a modo de cuadernillo (dina-4, en blanco y negro), con tirada y reparto masivo, enfocado principalmente a Chiapas y las comunidades zapatistas, la construcción y sus procesos de autonomía, los problemas de tierra, etc.... Y, claro, reservando algunas páginas para también dedicarlas a explicar los casos, motivos, precedentes, procesos y actualidad del resto de los diversos conflictos abiertos en México (Acteal, Atenco, Oaxaca...)

Declaración Pública y Llamamiento contra la Guerra en Chiapas-México: a modo de denuncia pública, declaración de intenciones, exigencias reivindicativas (paz, justicia, etc) y llamamiento de solidaridad.

Recogida de firmas de apoyo al Manifiesto o Declaración:
Entrevista filmada (video) a Ernesto Ledesma-CAPISE: para pasar después en los actos que se realicen.
Página web: de nueva creación y con la participación en su confección y desarrollo de todos aquellos colectivos y/o personas que así­ lo quieran y se comprometan.
IMPORTANTE: intentar desde el principio la creación de una lista de contactos, por la que puedan tod*s informarse e informar de forma directa.... Dicha lista puede ser el primer paso para tal página web.
COMIC sobre zapatismo 1994- 2008....con la cronología que ha elaborado recientemente las gentes de Jovel como base informativa, pedir a Patxi Irurzun (escritor) y Juan Kalvellido (dibujante) que intentaran diseñarlo y hacerlo.
