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.

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.

With all due respect 12.30 pm on a Sunday is not an ideal time to hold a meeting. I fear that the turnout wont be that great. Some people who are involved in campaigns tend to spend Sundays with their families. Not everyone can be involved 100% of the time.

During the co-ordination meeting in the ATG Hall, following the end of the hunger strike, a number of activists who had actively supported the Afghani comrades, raised the issue that what was needed was a full Conference on Racism + Immigration to share information and begin building the basis of a co-ordinated strategy against incipient and/or ideologically coherent racism.
Wondering whether this meeting proposed by RAR next Sunday is the starting point.....

Michael, it is just a starting point. It is not a meeting where everything will be discussed and sorted. The problems will not be addressed by just one meeting, I wish things were that simple.

Please stay away from this thread if at all possible. Your very presence makes it difficult/impossible to have a rational debate. You seem to want to dominate every organisation that exists. You are passing yourself off as a leader of the IAWM and AWN as it is.

As you are well aware the SWP leadership hate the RAR and the SWP consistently boycotted RAR protests prior to the Cathedral. Even at the Cathedral, using you as a catspaw, the SWP/IAWM tried to marginalise RAR. When the IAWM/SWP advertised the final Saturday rally at the Cathedral the only name on the posters was that of the IAWM. A blatant attempt by the IAWM/SWP to make it look as if they were responsible for the protests at the Cathedral. The SWP/IAWM press releases pushed RBB rather than the Afghans. This shows how concerned the IAWM/SWP are in building a representative united campaign.

Sundays meeting hopefully should build a bigger RAR. I am not interested in participating in a meeting which is packed by IAWM/SWP members whose only purpose in being present is to destroy RAR and set up some new organisation which RBB will become Chair of (along with the 20 other campaigns he chairs).

Residents Against Racism decide to hold a public meeting. They invite everyone who wishes to attend. What response does it get here? Some anonymista declaring that not only should the SWP not come, but people who work with the SWP on other issues shouldn't come either. What a helpful attitude.

You misunderstand me or maybe you don't know what Michael Y is like. The SWP using their IAWM front tried to do RAR down at the Cathedral. Michael Y was central to this skullduggery and I have written about the IAWM posters above. Thats why I am suspicious of Michael Y and the IAWM/SWP. They want to set up a new front which they will be able to dominate. I hope that SP and SY members attend Sundays meeting to make sure that this does not happen.

Me an anonymista? I have seen too many people showered with personal abuse when they dare to even disagree with the SWP on Indymedia. Thats why I dont use my name. You dont use your full name either.

Thank you to MarkG and MarkP for the comments.
As for the careful but still anonymous activist, I hope you turn up to the meeting because the issue is important. The rest will work out in the meeting itself I hope - suspicions and all the rest.
