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.
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.
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
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.

In Defence of Cancelling the Left Fri Sep 26, 2025 17:00 | Dr James Allan
Should the Right take the moral high ground and refrain from cancel culture? Or should it give the Left a taste of its own medicine ? and try to teach it a lesson? It has to be the latter, argues Professor James Allan.

It's time to admit that Christians are being persecuted in two-tier Britain, says Belinda Brown. The flimsiest claims of 'offence' from normal expressions of Christian faith are getting people sacked and arrested.

Greta Thunberg Gaza Flotilla in Chaos After Queer Activist Comes Out, Prompting Organiser to Resign Fri Sep 26, 2025 11:24 | Will Jones
Greta Thunberg's Gaza flotilla has been thrown into chaos after one of its activists came out as queer, prompting the organiser to resign. Homosexuality, of course, is criminalised in Gaza.

Fair play to the IPSC for organising this protest and also for their part in giving leadership on this issue. But where were the Left, especially the larger groupings? Can it be that it's not worth turning up if you can't have your party banners on display?
A good few members of Sinn Féin were there, for what it's worth. Does it really matter that much?
Quite probably there were members of various left groups there (certainly there were WSM members attending), but you didn't recognise them. Maybe we should get tattoos of Lenin or Bakunin on our foreheads to assist you forlorn lefty trainspotters.
Several Eirigi members were in attendance.
I should've mentioned in the report that we asked folks not to bring banners. I should have mentioned it, and thanked all the folks from the various groups who turned up for respecting the request. So thanks to all who turned up - Leftists, Republicans, None of the above.
If Shinners are just "nationalists" why are the other parties so afraid of sharing power with them, and what are the supposedly crazy economic policies that Ahern and co were shouting about before the last election? Michael McDowell was calling Sinn Féin the "Far Left" at one point wasn't he?
It seems that that SF are too socialist for some, and not socialist at all for others. Odd.
I personally think that tattoos would be a great idea, but Lenin? Surely not left enough for some. What about the New Economic Plan of 1926? What about Krondstadt?

Thanx for organising this...good idea to all wear black and carry black flags and a simple statement/banner explaining why we were there.
That uniformity helped to stand out in the hyper consmer O'C St. It felt good to participate in it with folks from different groups and perspectives
The cycle of protest reaction to bombardments and then the predictable diminishing numbers is worth reflecting on.
As is the relationship between the protest movement and those who step out in risk in nvda...whether it was Caoimhe and Kathy
managing to get into Gaza during the bombardment or those who took high risk action where the bombs and wepaons for Israel are manufactured. In 06 it was the Raytheon 9, this time it was the 6 folks in Brighton who acted at EDO http://decommisioners.wordpress.com/
These actions may go down when there is a lot of mainstream media attention on the issue and feet on the street. But the resisters need to be accompanied, and the issues raised, through the courts and jail (2 of the EDO folks remain on remand in jail at the present time...........the legal stem is designed to isolate and crush the resister. Solidarity is the only anti-venom....doesn't take much to drop these EDO 2 a solidarity postcard or letter and we know how effective that is for their safety and spirit in the jail context.

A world-wide event to commemorate the children killed in the Gaza conflict has been prompted by a Derry initiative.
Next Sunday, anti-war groups in cities from Beirut to San Jose and Helsink to Amman will read out the names and ages of the 400 children who perished in the Israeli onslaught. Other centres taking part include Edmonton in Alberta, Nablus on the West Bank and the Gulf State of Dubai. The Derry Anti War Coalition says that “more centres are signing up as word spreads on the net.”
The idea was launched by the DAWC on January 25th when members gathered in Waterloo Place in Derry city centre and read out the names. Said Grainne Ketelaar: “I compiled the list of more than 400 children from daily reports on a humanitarian relief website. Reading the names aloud was an attempt to put a human face on cold statistics.”
After photographs of the Derry reading were published on the internet by local photographer George Rowe, the DAWC was contacted by a women’s group in Beirut which wanted to spread the idea further.
“We were amazed when the email from the women in Beirut arrived,” says Grainne Ketelaar. “It was heartening to know that people in the Middle East were aware of our expressions of support here. We are delighted that the initiative has now spread around the world.”
Gaza is the same size as the area administered by Derry City Council, DAWC spokeswoman Goretti Horgan points out, adding that, “The scale of death and destruction the equivalent of a hundred Bloody Sundays in four weeks.
“Today, despite the ceasefire, the siege on Gaza has not been lifted, the war on the occupied Palestinian territories has not ended, and Palestine remains hostage. We gather to show our solidarity with the people of Gaza, to show that we have not forgotten the deaths of hundreds of children and that we will not ignore the on-going blockade.”
“These events are organised under the auspices of 'Mothers Across the World for Gaza', but you don't have to be a mother to take part. We invite everyone from Derry who wants to express their support for the people of Gaza to come along on Sunday. Whether it is to listen or to share in the reading of the names, everyone will be welcom,e.”
The reading of the names of the children will tabegin at three o’clock on Sunday 8th February, at Newmarket Street, between the Richmond Centre and Foyleside.
A simultaneous event will take place outside The Balor Theatre in Ballybofey, County Donegal.
(Further details of the global event are available from the Facebook group Mothers Across the World for Gaza, to be found at http://tinyurl.com/mothersGaza
