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.

'Security' forces arrest protestors for 'offensive remarks'

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday December 13, 2002 16:54author by Phuq Hedd Report this post to the editors

The "clashes" in Copenhagen where the EU leaders meeting is being protested have reportedly led to several dozen arrests including those for "offensive remarks". Fuck that. Seems like the "leaders" aka Casarini and pals from the disobbedienti have been nabbed

There's better coverage on enligsh-language Norwegian indymedia here: http://endk.indymedia.no/

Interesting bit about the police raiding a webprovider.

week by week day by day
more people go away.

this is a cross post comment but is relevant here as well.

another thought who invented "anti-capitalist".

I remember the Daily TElegraph using it after RTS June 18. 1999
Before that the largest ever RTS was 1997 (my memory is thrashed could have been 98) when the liverpool strikers met up with everyone in Trafalgar sq. but then we weren´t called anti-capitalists.
The reason why is this year The Economist mag, referred to "a particular type of anti-capitalism" as being responsible for the Soviet Union.
I shuddered when i read that, in the USA anarchists are "gangmembers", in Europe they are on "no-entry" lists or "handle with care" lists, we have seen that in Denmark.
Yet the authorities also seem intent on giving organisational structure to their opponents.
those arrested in Denmark are "spokespersons" not leaders. Anarchist groupings do not have leaders.
But we do have spokespersons, the folk who go say things to ther radio and TV and troll for the facts and intellectual back-up.
Andrew is a spokesperson for WSM but not a leader.
I´ve been a spokesperson for a whole load of various squatters and protesters but god forbid i be a leader, now our comrades are being described in Europresses as "leaders".
And we are being described as "anti-capitalists", I smell a trap in this.
please let us not be trapped.
Release the spokespeople of gli dissobedienti.
but remember that there are more disobedienti out there who can speak on behalf of their movement.
The disobedienti are like the wombles and yomango high profile attention attracting groupings becuase of their wit and fine fine tactic, so therefore targets for the repression heads, but hey they gave us a martyr, and I remember at the time thinking very soberly (it was not a long period after the Swedish police had opened fire at the REclaim the City gig) that Carlo was a martyr we did not need in any sense.
I mean no disrepect to Carlo, nor to the disobedienti, but in comment to the news of Sisifis´arrest in Greece (next year´s Sup€r$tate venue is THessalonika) the net is out for activists both dirty and clean throughout Europe.

I rather feel that they will choose to scratch off the names on their list carefully.
but give it time.... we are all on that list.

So talk about repression.
don´t email politicians coz that doesn´t work.
talk about repression.
in open places, on radio, on TV, in papers, in churches.
because Neimeyer put it very well.
there will be no-one left to speak out.

last night Spanish TV showed a pretty run of the mill crime reconstruction series.
This episode focussed on an incident in 1995 when a gang of italian bank robbers shot two women police officers.
The leader of that gang is Claudio Lavazza.

Today El Pais a national daily in Spain reported that it´s Barcelonan ofice had been sent a package containing 50 grammes of explosive and a book of poetry by Giuseppe Giusti and a note signed by a group
"célula contra el Capital las Cárceles sus Carceleros uy sus Celdas"
this group is known as CCCCC
The Spanish minsiter of the Interior ángel Acebes explained in Congress that this is an anarchist group in Italy.
By devilish coincidence the alledged "leader" of this group is Claudio Lavazza.
yes the coffee brand name man who was shown to be a most horrible and unfeeling murdered last night on state TV is today accused of authorising from his high security cell a letter bombing attempt.

Questions are being asked.
and these are two.
Q. how does anyone in "post 11/9" western civiliastion post 50grammes of explosive from Milan to Barcelona?
Q. if you can´t get 50 grammes of hashish from Milan to Barcelona through two main postal sorting offices with their top range spectograph x-ray machines how do you get enough explosive to kill someone through?

and how do criminals indentified last night as being extremely daNGEROUS on TV get associated in Italian media today with anarchists and anti-globlalists?

I may be naive.

but I see lies everyday.
lies that are so ridiculous that they beg to be pointed out.
Are the emperors now so naked that they must protect themselves with such tissues of manipulation and distracting propaganda?

or are the figures of investment in postal and airport security falsified?
