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

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.

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Saturday April 25, 2009 16:20author by éirígí PRO Report this post to the editors

éirígí activists yesterday marked the 93rd anniversary of the 1916 Rising with a series of banner drops and the erections of dozens of posters.
Ballymun
Ballymun

On the morning of April 24th 1916 the Easter Rising began with proclamation of the Irish Republic and the seizing of key buildings and other vantage points across Dublin. Yesterday éirígí activists across Dublin marked the 93rd anniversary of that day. In a dozen locatoins From Ballymun to Sallynoggin and from Tallaght to Finglas banners and large placards were put in place. In dozens of other locations posters of James Connolly and Padraig Pearse were displayed.

Over the course of the last two weeks hundreds of copies of the 1916 Proclamation and the 1919 Democratic Programme were also distributed on a not-for-profit basis accross the city. All of these activities are part of the ongoing 'Reclaim the Republic' campaign that éirígí has been running for the last three years during which 80,000 copies of the 1916 Proclamation have been distributed.

Below are some images from yesterday.

Are silly little photo ops all eirigi ever does. i see them doing very little union work or anything else long term, they just turn up with a few flags and banners and think that is enough. Well comrades it's not. get real, do some real political work like the socialist party or people before profit.

Yeah right. That's all we ever do. What a laugh. A cursory look at the éirígí website will show you that the party is very active. Sorry it doesn't live up to your expectations. Grow up.

Well done éirígí.

Yeah eirigi do take photos.

Yeah eirigi do turn up with banners.

So whats your problem,myself?

The photos and the banners you talk about with distain or is it jealousy are photos of many activists who turn up at the many protests and events country wide(the whole 32 counties)which eirigi and its supporters attend.

As for the other groups and parties you mentioned,when is the last time they championed a cause from infancy as opposed to piggy backing from start to conclusion.

Remember the calls for a national strike,a worthy cause i must add that those afore mentioned publicly demanded,what happened to that cause for example?

Well let me tell you it was dropped like a hot cake when the main unions called it off,why dont they get the courage of their convictions and carry this issue through or is it a case that they only persue popular issues or publicly attach themselves to issues that they feel are gonna happen therefore gettin kudos for doing nothing to furthur issues to conclusion.

Ive been at their meetings,dont mean to sound bad but on socialist politics alone which is their bread and butter they are still scratching around trying to figure out how to get the message out as if socialist politics is a big secret .

What an extraordinarily negative and egotistical post from “myself”. But it’s good at least to see his/her non-sectarian views towards the Socialist Party and People Before Profits . Both of those groups usually have the same negative attitude towards each other as “myself” has towards eirigi .

Eirigi does more than turn up with a few banners at demos . The group is actively engaged in trade union work , community struggles such as in Rossport , work on the national question , support for liberation struggles abroad and for the anti-war movement in Ireland . More importantly though imo , it is a party that is neither afraid nor ashamed to identify itself as Connollyite and to openly call for the smashing of capitalism - something which neither the Socialist Party and People Before Profit do in their election material .

There are other options too you know!! ;-)

Better options. Grassroots driven co-operative community oriented options. Ones that are driven first and foremost by fulfilling the basic needs of the 99% and maintaining the environment as opposed to just serving the insatiable destructive greed of the 1%

The title of the photo essay says eirigi marked the 93rd of the 1916 rising. This is 2013, so it should have been about the 97th by my calculation. I know eirigi tends to go back in time historically, but let's get some elementary arithmetic right for starters.
