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.

Hope to see you there!

The Union of Students in Ireland (USI) are organising a National Demonstration in Dublin on Wednesday 5th of Febuary.

The Union of Students in Ireland (USI) are organising a National Demonstration in Dublin on Wednesday 5th of Febuary.

The Aims of our campaign are:

1. The Government of Ireland to immediately replace all fees relating to third level education with direct exchequer support.

2. The Government of Ireland to immediately raise the Third Level Maintenance Grant significantly in order to cover the basic living cost of students.

3. The Government of Ireland to increase the income thresholds in order to allow more people to qualify for the Third Level Maintenance Grant.

4. The Government of Ireland to make immediate moves towards the construction of purpose built and state funded Student Accommodation in all Third Level Institutions in the State.

5. To reintroduce free medical care for all third level students in the Republic of Ireland.

This demonstration will be of ALL USI Colleges in the country, and one or two more besides. We are also inviting Trade Unions and any other organisations which believe that free education is a right, not a privelige.

We will be leaving from Mountjoy Square at 1.30 PM and heading to the Dail from there.

It appears even the comatose DCUSU are getting their finger out of the asses this time and they've even made cute little 'who killed kenny/your right to free education'.

Here's hoping that the students of DCU will show up.

do not enjoy education beyond primary level.

In over fifty countries upon finishing primary level education boys are given guns.

In most of the world these people are exploited by those 1st World workers who accept employment with multi-national-corporations and continue to perverse their intelligence in the imperialistic exploitation of their fellow less well educated brothers and sisters.

The students of Ireland aren´t lazy.
the students of Ireland aren´t parasites.
the students of Ireland are the future minions of global exploitation.

what else would one expect from a crypto facist country?
what else would one expect from a country whose primary contribution to global education was nuns and priests who brought "making black babies white" to Africa?

I write with the permission of my peers in the 5th international of global anarchists.

you are the question.
we have the solution.

Trotwatch could you please explain what antics you hope SY in UCD will refrain from pulling, so that people aren't put off coming on this demo.

Could these antics be the ferocious amount of work we have done in building for all past fee demonstrations involving UCD??

Or perhaps it could be the actions of the Campaign for Free Education, in which we have played a leading role with others??

Or maybe you have a problem with our actions on the last USI demo - at which, after the suggestion of a Labour Party member and consulation with other activists, we led a militant contingent away from the main demonstration which was penned in by cops, first attempted to stage a sit-down protest in front of the Dail, and then held a sit-in in the Department of Transport??

Which one of our many militant pro-student antics has gotten up your nose?
