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.

Disobedients' movement's partecipation to Humanity Day

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday September 04, 2002 14:38author by Sherwood Comunicazione Report this post to the editors

To the global civilian society and to the mass-media

On September the 15th the immigrant brothers and sisters of Treviso that in these days have fought to defend human rights from the systematic aggression of the racists that have the power in that city and in our country, have proposed a great mobilization day.

September the 15th is also the day when the racist Bossi and his people will descend from Rome in order to occupy the city of Venice, to make propaganda of racist laws, and to defend the work of mafioso Berlusconi's government, which they support.

The movement of disobedients from every corner of Italy will get on march in order to get to Treviso and build together with all immigrant brothers and sisters and the civilian society, a collective action of affirmation of the right to resistence and the conquest of freedom. In the world, we all have the right to resist to injustices, to oppression, to the tragic logic of war. We have this right because we do not obey to the laws of the market nor to the laws of the power, but to the laws of humanity. The racial law called Bossi-Fini, which will be executive from September the 9th, is a law against humanity, a law of exclusion and exploitation of the weakest. For this reason we resist and disobey, organizing networks of protection of sans papiers, and attacking detention centres for immigrants. The fact that male and female workers, whole families, are without a house afters years of work, is an acceptable shame. This happens to italians and immigrants, with no distinction. But there are places, like Treviso, ruled by an arrogant and stupid man, where this discrimination is systematic and organized. This is why we resist and disobey and open the houses which are kept empty, letting humanity in. On September the 15th us disobedients will celebrate the day "of resistence and of freedom". Thousands of brothers and sisters will come to stipulate between them and with many other people an agreement for humanity: we will not accept injustices anymore, just like our immigrant brothers and sisters in Treviso and everywhere did not accept them. We will not let the racist and mafiosi rulers keep humanity in hostage. The pact between us and with others is the run towards another possible world, a world which contains many worlds.

We speak to the civilian society and to all democratic citizens with much respect:
we ask you to build with us this great march;

we ask you to organize and support resistence and disobedience;

we ask you to contribute to the liberation of humanity;

freedom, democracy, justice. These are words which you too, civilian society and democratics, always put in our thoughts. This is why we, rebels in this time of the Empire and of war, allow ourselves to submit to you what we have asked about this to our brothers and sisters rebels in Chiapas:

What is Freedom?

They have answered: "Freedom is not doing whatever you want, it is being able to choose a road you want to find what you are looking for. Which will not lead you to betray yourself, your brothers, the others.".

What is Democracy?

They have answered: "Democracy is the agreement of thoughts. It is not that everybody think in the same way; but that all thoughts seek a common agreement, which is good for the majority without disregarding the minority. That the word of the power obey to this, to a mirror which reflects the walkers and the way and which shall be the motivation for our own thoughts, according to both ourselves and the others.".

What is Justice?

They have answered: "Justice is not to punish, it is to give to everyone what they deserve, and everyone deserve what the mirror gives them back, which is what they give to it. Who gave death, misery, arrogance, exploitation, will receive much pain and sadness for their future. Who gave respect, life, fight, who was a brother, deserve an eternal illumination on their face, on their heart and on their way.".

We will conquer another possible world. We will resist and disobey to the arrogance of the racist Lega and of the corrupted power. We will live with joy a day of rebellion and freedom.

September the 15th everybody on march towards Treviso

NO TO THE BOSSI-FINI LAW

NO TO RACIAL LAWS

NO TO THE ARROGANCE OF RACIST GENTILINI

YES TO THE RIGHT TO HAVE A HOUSE

YES TO HUMANITY

FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY, JUSTICE

Is there some way that Irish activists can help, and if so, what is it? Why is this being posted here?


(And before people start complaining - yes, it may be interesting and informative. But there are demonstrations going on all over the world, every day of the week. They can't _all_ be posted here, or the site will collapse. This is indymedia Ireland - there should be an Irish angle to what you post.)

Christ Ray what will you allow? The immigration issue and fortress europe is going on all over europe. And if you haven't noticed a lot of italians are knocking around dublin these days. We meet tham on stalls all the time, we even have italian material sometimes. And we discuss so we can learn from each other. The laws being brought in in Italy today could be in Ireland tomorrow. We should be looking at what activists are doing in other countries.

Does that mean that anytime there is a demonstration on the issue, from anywhere around Eurpoe, it should be advertised here? Think about it, hs. How many issues are 'our problem too'? How soon would this newswire fill up if we posted ads for every demonstration in Europe?

If something is posted here there should be a _direct_ Irish connection. A direct link to a campaign in Ireland. A way for people in Ireland to get involved. This is _indymedia Ireland_, not indymedia Europe, the US, and Venezuela too.

This was one not every, every protest wouldn't fit on indymedia italy. Also its in english.
which helps. the mass protest in Rome in april made it onto the front page. Along with statements from cobas who didn't even support the protest or take part. Yet this was included how did this effect us and why were cobas statements printed when they had nothing to do with it? And even less with ireland. And if these can be published why not the disobiedients?
