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.

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.

Why the Open Wire has been suspended

The North Carolina Independent Media center will not tolerate posts on the Open Wire that include threats, racism, homophobia, classism, and sexism. Examples of unacceptable action on our website include but are not restricted to: hate speech, threatening comments of any type, and altering posted photographs.

Vigorous debate on the Open Wire is encouraged, so long as it stays on topic, is not reduced to personal attacks, name calling, and provides a feeling of open expression.

Due to several threatening posts on the Open Wire, we believe it has stopped being an good place for open expression. We have collectively decided to improve our website and in the interim suspend the Open Wire section of our site.

We regret having to take this step. We will reopen it as soon as we can.
Here are some suggestions for posting to e-mail lists or web forums.
DO NOT POST FLAME BAIT!
DO NOT RESPOND TO FLAME BAIT!

Flame Bait: Intentionally accusatory and harsh material that is written with the purpose of attacking people with the hopes of eliciting an angry response. (i.e. Bait)
Flames: Strongly worded, even violent writing in response to someone else's flame bait or unagreeable writing.
In the interim if you have news that follows the guidelines of our mission statement PLEASE send your stories to nc@indymedia.org.
We are actively searching for the best way to allow you to post and comment to the open wire while retaining a productive and focused atmosphere.
Thank you very much for your patience!
- The North Carolina Independent Media Center Volunteers

you have just described indymedia ireland. and let's be honest people, what is the real reason we come here? for independent news and analysis... or to read the trot-baiting, anarcho-hating, green-bashing, shinner-thrashing pearls of wisodm on this site?

seriously though, indy irl is in a pretty awful state. if only we could all work together to make IT work. mind you there are obviously people out there with an agenda to make it not work.

and i don't claim to be innocent of all crimes, like most users of the site, i've been guilty of 'flame-baiting' (interesting word) and outright attempted character assassination. mostly directed at our resident wannabe-mossad agent avi h.

also, any news on a search engine for the site?

never underestimate the power of hate. its a useful fuel.

The newswire was a great experiment that has failed.
The right wing geeks almost certainly post deliberately fascist comments on here to quote later as "evidence" of Indymedia's "anti-semitism" or whatever.
Worse still some genuine neo-nazis exploit it too. The newswire is guff that our opponents exploit to libel us.
If Indymedia collectives can't keep their newswires scrubbed they shoud disable them.
I know its closing down an opening for genuine activists but they can always go direct to the IMC collective in their area to announce bona fide events.
And every story should have a comments section, like any other news site.
I hate to open this page and see some bizarre fascist vaporing, it makes it hard to take Indymedia seriously sometimes, and I support the idea. If someone new to the site stopped by what impression would they get?

Dermot.
