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 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.

Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

Investigation into South Africa bombings

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday October 31, 2002 20:00author by Mags Report this post to the editors

I did take this from the RTE site (sorry) but it is an important enough story and I haven't seen it on here and it has not been prominent in the mainstream media. I suppose is depends on who is suspected of terrorist attacks and so it is not reported widely.

Investigation into South Africa bombings

South Africa is hunting down white right-wing soldiers and police after the most serious bombing spree since racist apartheid rule ended in 1994, the defence minister said today.

Nine bombs exploded in the sprawling black township of Soweto near Johannesburg early yesterday, killing a woman and raising fears that white extremists are back on the warpath. A 10th explosion near Pretoria wounded two others.

Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota said that a minority of right-wing white Afrikaners in the armed forces and police could be part of a plot to plunge South Africa into a race war.‘They are a racially oriented group. They want to achieve a race war,’ Lekota said.

Nobody has been arrested or claimed responsibility for the worst bombing spree since a blitz by white rightwingers ahead of all-race polls in 1994 that swept Nelson Mandela to power.

Mandela said in a statement during a visit to London: ‘This is the work of extremists who do not have the capacity to weigh the consequences of their criminal actions’.

Just 'cos someone is sure to come on and start bawling me out for pasting something from another site. But I just thought people should know about it. Pretty serious and organised, 10 bombs at the same time.

Withdraw that, Pat. You know NOTHING about the backgrounds of most of the people who put in the effort to keep this site running. I make no judgements or claims of knowledge about your background and I thank you to offer me the same courtesy.

Engaging in petty ad hominem attacks will win you no friends. Feel free to disagree with the idea that we don't like reposted articles (it allows original and otherwise suppressed content to see the light of day) but at least do it without making sweeping generalisations like the one above.

And if the truth be known, we moan and groan and cajole about taking articles from other sites but they are only deleted if it's a concerted effort to bung up the wire (like the person who posted 15 articles in a row from www.euobserver.com) or the article, or the article is already posted on a series of Indymedia websites.

And furthermore, like everything else, we are people not machines, and try to apply our guidelines with flexibility so if someone explains why they are copying an article from the mainstream media of course that will be taken into account.

It's not about being pompous. Members of the IMC collective have been called everything under the sun by the people who come here to publish and discuss to their hearts content every day. Enough is enough.

All I'm asking for is a little bit of mutual respect - with Pat's answer being "fuck off" I don't think we're even going to get that.
