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.

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.

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.

British Tourist Authority Occupied

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Saturday May 17, 2003 13:51author by Joe Mac Report this post to the editors


Gardai are investigating a protest in the British Tourist Office on Dublin's Dame Street.

Ogra Sinn Fein claim they`re occupying the office to highlight their opposition to the postponement of Northern Ireland`s Assembly elections. It is understood members of the group entered the premises at around 11.30am this morning.

In a statement, Ogra Sinn Fein said: "We are here today to highlight Britain`s ongoing denial of democracy in Ireland. For 30 years they have engaged in a dirty war that has resulted in the deaths of many people. "Even as these covert and murderous dealings in Ireland are being exposed, the British are subverting democracy by cancelling elections in the North. These elections should go ahead in June."

That's a great phrase coming from Sinn Fein/IRA. (Oh, I forgot they're different organisations !! :) ) I don't remember the IRA using much in the way of due process before maiming, murdering or blowing people up...

The occupation of the British Tourist Authority office is not real direct action, but just a stupid stunt by Ogra Sinn Féin who think that they are real hard. It will achieve nothing. The British Tourist Authority are hardly instrumental to the democractic process in the North.

Meaningful direct action, means taking action directly that will help bring about change rather than simply appealing to others to make that change for you.

For example rather than simply calling on politicians to create more space in the city, a Reclaim the Streets actually creates that space even if only temporarily. Or rahter than calling on the government to boot the U.S. out of Shannon, direct action at Shannon, by pulling down the fence or tresspassing, actually threatens the use of Shannon as a warport.

If Ogra Sinn Féin want to take direct action for democracy why don't they start by taking action within their own organisation - Sinn Féin - which lacks any real democracy. Sinn Féin is a highly authoritarian party where all the members take their orders from Gerry Adams as we saw when he went to meet warmonger Bush, in defiance of the member's wishes.

I don't think anyone should be encouraging Sinn Fein / IRA to engage in "direct action"!

Many people in this country rely on tourism to make a living. The majority of tourists to Ireland are British, and their cash is well welcome. This sort of stunt puts working peoples jobs at risk, things are bad enough this year after Bush and Blairs Imperialist adventure in Iraq, without Ogra Sinn Fein carrying out pointless sectarian and anglophobic actions like this. Ireland of the welcomes? Not if the sectarian bigots in Ogra Sinn Fein have their way. I hope you all felt very brave.

What did FOB do? So its Anglophobic to oppose the actions of the British Government?

This type od logic was used against IAWM. They were called Anti American because they opposed the actions of the US Government.
