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

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.

Significant Socialist result in Nigerian Senate election

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday April 16, 2003 16:23author by Kenneth Owende Report this post to the editors

Among allegations of serious vote rigging in favour of the ruling party a Socialist candidate has recieved a huge vote in the Lagos area in the Senate elections.

The provisional results of the elections for the Nigerian national Senate and House of Representatives, held on April 12, are being announced.

In the Lagos West constituency Lanre Arogundade, a founding member of the Democratic Socialist Movement (Nigerian CWI), stood as the National Conscience Party (NCP) candidate for the Senate. This was the first time that the NCP had been allowed to stand in an election.

Lanre received 77,330 votes, 9.64%, and came third behind the AD (party of the Lagos State Governor) and PDP (President Obasanjo's party) out of 30 candidates.

A total of 801,988 votes were cast in this constituency, which is the largest in the country. The Party for Social Democracy, the party sponsored by some trade union leaders, received 266 votes (0.08%).

In the other Senate seats in Lagos the NCP gained 17,142 votes (5.69%) in Lagos Central and 21,582 votes (6.51%) in Lagos East, in both these seats the NCP candidate came fourth.

10% in an exam isn't great but 10% (77,000 votes) in a Nigerian election is significant. Remember Nigeria is hardly the model democracy, activists are regularly threatened for demanding basic democratic rights. Congrats to all those involved

Both Pat C and Chekov have fallen foul of anonymous attacks and attacks by those who are openly SP/SY. This is certainly the case in the messages on the John Throne Letter thread.

How is anybody supposed to know the age of SP/SY members they are debating with? Particularly when so many of these Vanguardists behave in such a Juvenile fashion.

A posting was put up about an interesting election result in Nigeria. Some fool put a posting up in pats name and of course the fish went for the worm.

Come on everybody lets grow up. if we want serious discussion, please simply don't bothering to reply to such obvious and ridicuos bullshit.

Well done to the Nigerian socialists. Keep up the good work!

Pat, I'm not so sure about that, there are lots of people that spend their time just stirring shit on this site.

I have been subjected to a bit of abuse recently myself, my advice is just to ignore it they enjoy it when you react to them.

So which questions excatly weren't answered. As far as I can see JT was arguing for local committess to be set up which he's been doing since last year, yes I saw your magic suppressed open letter, I still can't figure out excatly how you supress an open letter, and SP supporters argued it wasn't the case. Although JT seems alot more open to honest discussion than yourself. (at least a lot less sneering and arrogant) You should read lenins pamphlet on left communism its more relevant today than ever.

I think it is fairly clear that Pat c did not post the 1st comment above. It should be removed.

Pat, why are you so quick to have a go at Socialist Youth denouncing them as stupid? There is no evidence that a SY member put up that post.

Can you not see that by always having a go at SY you may provoke spurious postings in your name?

This is a disgrace that the Irish Socialist Party has links with a Nigerian party. In fact it is a disgrace that any party in Ireland should have international links.

The problem with this country is the big international link we have with Britain in the guise of the occupation of the 6 counties. The less our parties are tied to foreign ones the better.
