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.

Thank goodness those lovely "mainstream" paramilitaries stepped in. If they didn't maybe those pesky extreme paramilitaries that nobody likes might have taken charge. Great to know that our popular local mainstream terrorist is taking care of our sex lives as well as the future course of the nation. Thanks so much for this really reassuring news jenny.

Great, the UDA strikes a blow against the renegades, the community rejoices and the PSNI once again shows it can't match the policing powers of good old sectarian gangsters.

I demand that the gardai take up the tactics of the UDA and start burning down any houses that are expected of hosting immoral activities.

working class community Paramilitaries are better than PSNI pigs in many ways. PSNI pigs are not known for their moral integrity, running the KINCORA and also Ballyutoag vice rings, for upper class brit establishment intelligence purposes. the brit establishment take the view that its ok, to run brothels/child vice rings, after all its only working class irish kids/wimin that they use to work in their brothels. MI5/6/FRU scum would never think of using their upper debutante socially superior hoity toity slone ranger snobbitches to work in their vice rings.
ordinary working class people do prefer the quick fix justice offered by community paramilitaries, rather than the inhumane injustice perpetrated by PSNI pigs, who not only give the offender a beating, but also drag them through the courts, thus the offender is punished twice and is also lumbered with a criminal record, that may lead the offender to commit further crime, being unable to get a job, due to having a criminal record.

Sorry Jenny, I believe I may have come over a bit sarcastic in my last contribution. This was in no way intended. After giving deep consideration to your well-measured critique of the hoity toity inhumane Brit pig scum snobbitches and the merits and integrity of paramilitary policing. (who, lest we forget, only punish/crucify once to stop offenders reoffending and thankfully don't dole out criminal records (God forbid!)). I realise that I was wrong. Please forgive me (you complete idiot).

Greeting Pat,

Yes it's true, the Protestant girls that I socialise with in my Foxrock West Brit circle aren't nearly as adventerous and those feisty working class northern lasses. Only now I'm concerned that a petrol bomb might land on my head/arse (depending on position) while hard at work in a seedy house of ill-repute. Those standing up for law and order and good morals, such as jenny, are really getting on my wick.

Do you really believe that brothels should be burnt to the ground?

Is this what "socialists" believe in these days? Not only mob rule but sexual repression too?

Hey, I heard there's someone serving drink!! demon drink!!! down the road. How about you put your revolutionary principles into effect and go burn it down (the whiskey's great to get an oul flame going)

This would be funny if it wasn't written by the same person that has used about 50 different names on Indymedia already.

Famous for the use of the word cunt as much as possible, not very many capital letters, (or full stops come to think of it), wild allegations.

Hello babsdebrawl or jenny or whoever you are today. If you hurry there might be some homosexuals you can beat up.

author by pat cpublication date Mon Nov 11, 2002 18:23author address author phone Report this post to the editors

you left yourself open to that one.

i dont think the burning down of the brothel had anything to do with any groups committment to morality.

it had become a security risk & an embarassment.

i'm not aware of pramilitary groups enforcing morality but i wouldn't be surprised if bible thumping loyalists were involved in such acts.

when it comes to gay rights, republicans have always been in support.

i remember as far back as 1981, sf making it clear that they opposed homophobia. indeed there was a lesbian/gay anti hblock group. the chief steward of the dublin hblock demos was a gay/bisexual ex pow.

the irsp from its inception supported gay rights.

in 1982,on belfast city council, peoples democracy councillor, fergus o hare proposed a gay rights motion. only fergus, paddy devlin, the 1 sf councillor(thats all they had then) & 1 irsp councillor (the other was detained at her majestys pleasure at the time) supported the motion.

I totally agree with dave dumbo, and king mobster. Working class paramilitaries, should not be able to govern what leesure facilities are available to rich and powerful pillars of society. How dare these working class peasants tell me, a cultured, rich, professional member of society where i can and cannot spend my leesure time and money. The professional class of people work very hard during the day, professional people such as ministers etc, who spend their day preaching to the general public, about family values etc, fine upstanding members of society, why should these same professional people not be able to relax and relieve the tension of their hectic professional lives by visiting brothels at night. The rich deserve all the perks and pleasures going, afterall these are hard working professional people.

No I think we should ONLY burn down Johnny Adair and the LVF's brothels.

Before burning them down, we should get any info on clients using the brothel, to blackmail them in the future, as the Brit security services are doing too.
