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.

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday February 13, 2003 16:48author by Joe Sheehan - Shannon Peace Camp Report this post to the editors

This is just the bare bones will let others that were ther fill it in in more details

Verdict in Eoin Dubsky case is in:

6 months suspended
Own bond of 50 euro, independent bond of 500 euro
2 years bound to the peace
Stay out of Clare
Fined 1000 euro

Though i have not spoken to him I understand that Eoin is disappointed and will be appealling the verdict!

Sorry to here about this, its a travesty.

So apparently daubing bit of paint is now a higher crime than opening bay doors and carpet bombing men women and children. Yay for Irish Justice, its a shining example of the nature of our system.

I propose that Eoin's fine of €1,000 is compensated by people who support his cause.

Maybe Indymedia could put up a seperate front page posting giving an account no. for him or something. I would certainly be prepared to contribute. He should not have to fork out this cash alone.

that oin does not intend to pay the fine and is appealing the sentence and that he would rather go to jail than pay up.

Sadly Dubsky got off very light considering what he did. However, I do respect our criminal justice system, unlike the vandals and thugs that became attracted to the Shannon peace camp caravan. Hopefully if he does appeal, he will not get any reduction in his sentence.

Criminal damage is wrong and nothing justifys what this lamp did. Eoin was the first to disgrace the anti-war movement.

Opposing the U.S. war machine in Ireland is now a crime, while the real criminals, the war makers, including Provo ally, Peter King, go free.

author by Amandapublication date Thu Feb 13, 2003 20:53author address author phone Report this post to the editors

I am against the war. I am a true peaceful protestor. I don't want thugs to hijack a peaceful protest and commit crime. If you live in this country and you think criminal damage should be allowed, then start a political party, get elected, change the law and allow criminal damage. It's a simple as that. If you are right, and we are wrong, then it will be very easy for you to get elected. In fact you will probably get a landslide. Then on the other hand .....

many people ,perhaps terry perhaps not,support the actions of the "thugs",myself included-the law is not a thing of perfection and i believe it rarely punishes true crime and all to frequently punishes the innocent.be objective-where is the biggest/worst crime?
your opinion that actions such as sabotage hijack the "anti war movement" must be based on an idea of a cohesive agreement between an organised group of members-which does not exist-the rift is only as real as the perceived unity!!

Thank you for your continued support. I'll post new news article reflecting on my experience today, the trial and what may happen next.

author by Slartipublication date Fri Feb 14, 2003 00:51author address author phone Report this post to the editors

To Ammanda: There's no need to achange the law (for this opurpose anyway). The law as it stands would, if applied correctly, allow the sort of action Eoin took. He committed damage to the plane but not Criminal damage - what he did was neccessary and reasonable in the circumstances.

If you want the full legal argument I sugest you look at the notes of Eoins trial on the link given

Eoin was hard done by today.
We still have no action on serious crimes committed by elected officials in allowing illegal military use of the airport.
Whereas, Eoin had lawful excuse for his actions, this was ignored by the judge.
The government has no legal excuse for their actions, and they damn well know it.
however it is a different judge ignoring them,,, the kept media.

Interesting to note that Eoin's bail conditions for the past five months prevented him from coming within five miles of the airport.
All of a sudden he is now not allowed within the county of Clare.
This escalation in the perceived threat he poses to the government facade is very substantial.
Others will continue to monitor and report to the Irish people, what is going on at Shannon airport.
(of course people will call this "spying" when we stand in public areas, taking photos of things visible to the public and telling the truth)

Clare is now off limits to Eoin Dubsky,
Mary Kelly, Deirdre Clancy, Ciaron O Reilly, Damian Moran, Nuin Dunlop and Karen Fallon.
Yet, the 101st Airborne are welcome with open cash registers...

long live our Banana Republic...

How the hell do you get banned from a county? Where are the border gardai? Do we not have freedom in this country? This is insane!
Eoin, you are a great man and I am proud that you are standing up for such a great cause.
To Amanda and co.: It is perfectly legitimate to damage the property of an aggressor nation to prevent war. Otherwise you are saying that the IRA were wrong to damage property during the War of Independence, that the Freedom fighters throughout Europe were wrong to attack the infrastructure that was supporting the Nazis... the list goes on. It is called Direct Action. Property can be replaced or fixed. People can't.
