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.

activists and travellers...an ugly cause?

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday April 10, 2002 17:09author by RUAIRI Report this post to the editors

do you need to re-prioritise?

as the presidents signs a largely anti-traveller bill, Irish activists need to take a look inside themselves and their movements to assess priorities......

Whilst the Irish 'activist scene' has generally reved up 500%
over the last year (and necessarily so) - we seem to be forgetting/or at least de-prioritising
local issues in some cases. Whilst 'the new racism' is a scourge that needs to be tackled, the same ugly
mindset evolves from the attitudes towards travellers in this country. It is something that we need to think about, address and act on.
It's not a global glamour issue but local minds span global actions.


Just some food for thought as the president signs the largely anti-traveller bill

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I've read this draconian new law correctly it looks like that Picketers will also be criminalised?

Solidarity with the Travellers and all the oppressed!

For activists who may be having difficulty finding common cause with Irelands traveller population it should be remembered that this bill will also criminalise squatters, protest camps and hunt sabs going onto private lands.

The Cork Peace Alliance had a meeting last night in the CAZ centre with representatives from the Traveller Visibility Group and Nasc (immigrant support group). The meeting was organised two weeks ago with the purpose of learning about rascism (and general exclusion from society) issues so that the CPA could help organise a well informed campaign. One of the ideas that resulted from the meeting was that there are issues of common concern (such as the act signed by McAleese today) and it was a good start to get solidarity amongst grassroots activist groups.

CPA is also organising a public meeting tomorrow (Thursday) evening with the Palestinian Delegate-General to Ireland, Ali Halimeh, at the Shandon Court Hotel 8pm.

I was talking to Tom Mc Cann of the Irish Traveller's Movement about this Bill and the occupation of the Russian Embassy's land on the Palestinian march on Saturday. There are and always have been links between settled and traveller activists, and the ITM is calling for solidarity in its campaigns against this Bill criminalising their culture in the next few weeks. The ITM, according to Tom, is planning a mass caravan camp, and it could go into the City Centre like the Caravan at the centre of the Derry Housing Action Campaign that kick started the Civil Rights Movement 34 years ago!

If the movement is serious about defending traveller rights, lets all phone and pledge our solidarity, and see what the ITM wants us to do.
Their phone number is 01 679 6577
