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.
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.
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
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.

British TV Comedy Has Lost its Class Sat Nov 22, 2025 17:00 | Finlay McLaren
The BBC's Director of Comedy wants to "save the sitcom". But the sitcom is only endangered because most of them stopped being funny. As To the Manor Born reminds us, British comedy has lost its class, says Finlay McLaren.

Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

Feckin students and rich kids.
are just as welcome as anyone else. Come and have a laugh. it's allll goood...
That way, when the next 12 articles about the Juche ideal and latent sado-masochist cut and pastes from the times hide them there'll still be a clear piece for people checking the date, time, place. Also the reports of the West Papua, Shannon trial, CM etc won't disappear into the aether. Thanks.
What the?.....
you have a sick mind.
Lets hope rts behalf them selfs after all the trouble they caused last year. It's funny to see so many attention seeks in the same place.
While using protest.net is a good idea, it seems a bit wobbly in practice - there doesn't seem to be any way of finding a way to the calendar you've linked to above from the front page or from the page dedicated to europe (except for a calendar maintained by some crowd called free-eire.org). Neither do events posted in your calendar appear in the listing of European events.
Joe Higgins statement on RTS
Press Statement - 8th May 2002
Garda Attack on Protest Follows Familiar Pattern in E.U. Call on Minister for Justice to Disclose Content of E.U. Justice Ministers’ Discussions Regarding Anti-Globalisation Movement Joe Higgins T.D. The Socialist Party
The horrific scenes witnessed on Monday evening in Dublin, with members of the Garda provoking and viciously attacking protesters, followers a familiar recent pattern within the E.U.
From personal observation of the huge protests around the E.U. Summit in Gothenburg, Sweden in June 2001, I concluded that there was a deliberate policy of provocation by the Swedish police and recorded my observations during Taoiseach’s Question Time in the Dáil. The police first provoked violence and then quite brutally attacked demonstrators. Similar situations developed in Genoa and later in Brussels.
The Anti-Globalisation movement has garnered huge support among European youth and sections of the trade union movement. This has been discussed at meetings of E.U. Justice Ministers.
I call upon the Minister for Justice to state the content of these discussions. In particular, I ask him to say whether a policy of repression of this movement has been tacitly agreed among the E.U. Ministers and whether this was a factor in the Garda response on Monday evening.
Certainly, the dismissal by the Taoiseach of my personal observations in the Dáil point to a policy of complicity in repression against a growing movement of opposition to capitalist globalisation and multi-national domination of our world.

didn't lots change¿?
Who is this guy James McDonald,is he Ronalds brother or something.Why is he trying to make a name for himself.Its obvious he's not down with the RTS vibe.
He may have put alot of hard work in to the street party(fair fucks( but he's a dickhead for talking to the the press.James now the POlice have a focuss for an arrest,you.
WE all make mistakes with the hacks,i just hope you dont live to regret yours.
back there "may 8th" yawn yawn.
worth commenting "yawn" for the record, that the RTS May 2002 was fronted by a group called "Globalise Resistance".
The Global RTS frienship network were a wee bit surprised but delighted all the same.
They made lots of mistakes, but did lost of things well too, they certainly "learnt" from those mistakes, and are all spread throughout the world now doing things "better".
The RTS phenomona took longer than usual to arrive in Dublin, it had safely kicked off in many other places before, Norway another of Europe's racist countries with its head stuck up its arse had celebrated it's first RTS a little while before, but no-one (not no-one the commentator..."no-one the "nemo/nabu" of old" had replied to their letters to Ireland.
People were too busy "thinking locally" being paranoid and sticking themselves further up their capacious arses...

you ought by now know that RTS is "part of your urban culture".
The Gardai are different this year, they behaved themselves moderately at the September gig, and we can expect they will on Monday.
Meanwhile if anyone would like photos/video/audio/text files on the 300+ RTS and "RTS named" events that have occured globally since 1997 you can ask me sweetly and if you offer me a competant "akkadian grammarian" and if poss. an "akkadian literate, paleo-arabic mathematician" I shall perhaps give you the source dates of the texts that started the whole global phenomona.
if not, so be it.
it works in any case.
finally look at the link.
who is james mcdonald? Why he's a poet, artist and lover. The cops would be doing well to get their hands on that handsome devil...
bad "press officer" there.
obviously very un-connected.

The SWM/SWP nor GR have any sustainable claim to anything of substance and should stick to selling newspapers.

Very nice, thank you.
Reclaim The Streets still going on if the weather is as shite as it is now?
Iosaf, Globalise Resistence had nothing to do wih organising rts.
if the weather si really shit it'll happen anyway, just won't be as good i guess
The party will definitely happen, no matter what the weather.
Only questions is whether the first sign of a bit of bad weather is enough to scare you off?
If the weather is bad, and the forecast is that it should be pretty O.K., we'll soon separate the real party heads from our lightweight fair weather friends.
C'mon everybody. Be HARDCORE!! GRRRRRRR.....
