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.

Dublin Critical Mass Meeting - Interested in making Dublin critical mass bigger & better?

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Thursday October 01, 2009 22:49author by Critical Mass Dublinauthor email dublin-critical-mass at googlegroups dot com Report this post to the editors

Then come to an open meeting!

The last CM was a success (look - http://www.indymedia.ie/article/94293), but together it can only get better.

We are meeting up in Seomra Spraoi (www.seomraspraoi.org), Wednesday 7th at 6pm.
Put the fun between your legs
Put the fun between your legs

We are going to discuss the last mass, the next route, what we can do to make it better and we will try to build a network of critical massers in Dublin.

The most important part of the critical mass (apart from the cycle that is!) is spreading the word and getting noticed. This will only happen with the gals & guys of Dublin.

Come along to the next meet-up and make the movement.

Anarchist activists see an inclusive, autonomous, non-profit, blah blah etc space - I just see a cold warehouse down a dark laneway populated by people with patches and spiked hair who want me to join their political organisations (though with a little more subtlety than the socialists, it has to be said). Sorry, but no thanks. If the meeting was being held in the SF offices in Parnell Square, or the Connolly Bookshop, then I would think that a political group was trying to use CM for its own ends. So its the same principle. But yes you are doing the organising, so before anyone gets the hair on the back of their neck up in the righteous anger/zeal of the newly converted, good luck to you. I (and others who organised CM before, I feel) wont be involved. And I imagine whenever some new or more exciting activist thing happens that requires the time and effort of the seomra spraoi crew, you lot wont be either.

William, the space is not just for anarchists, and I should point out that a SF office and a social space are radically different. A SF office is controlled by SF, wheras Seomra Spraoi is run by people, not any political group. Your on about people wanting you to join their 'political group'? I've been involved with helping run the space for about year now. Yet, I am not apart of any political group, that sort of flies in the face of your theory no? By the way, which organisation are you refering to? I guess if we had the meeting in Smock Alley, along with the DCC that would be okay, because it suits your political thoughts.

The space is progressive, cheap, ''inclusive, autonomous, non-profit, blah blah etc space''. The laneway you refer to actually has a street lamp : ) Seomra.S also has language lessons, a childrens kindergarten, bike workshops and bicycle repair classes, games night, food, parties, films etc etc, but I suppose this is apart of the grand plan by ''that political group'' using critical mass for its own ends. Again, what political group is this, you've fabricated something in your mind William, but, like I said, if this was all being organised by people involved with DCC (a political group of which you belong), I'm sure you would be fine with that no? William, some people are good (not implying other people arent, just making a point) and like to organise things that can help other people without a political motivation, its called love.

Your attitude only serves to damage the fun and poisitive cycle we had, and invisage in the furture.

I feel that you have made your mind up. You probably made your mind up the first time you saw me, I really did get that feeling so, good luck with your campaign William, I always had positive things to say about what your (yous are) doing. From man to man though, grow up! (No way, Im not hanging around with him! He listens to X and I only listen to Y)

Now, if you dont mind, I have to go put spikes in my hair and stick my patches on, you know the way we all do it...
