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.

Solidarity with Basque political prisoner on 56th day on hunger strike

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Thursday September 28, 2006 18:28author by Irish Basque Committeesauthor email irishbasques at hotmail dot com Report this post to the editors

Inaki De Juana was force fed last week but despite the warnings told by the doctors about the consequences of his decission he decided to go ahead as it's the only weapon he can use to fight the Spanish states' bid to keep him in prison for life.

There are another 10 Basque political prisoners in the same situation. All of them did their sentences to the full but the Spanish government keep them as political hostages. There are more than 100 Basque prisoners who should have been released under parole but they have been denied this right. It's time for a democratic resolution to the conflict between the Basque Country and the Spanish and French states and this measures don't help at all after ETA's unilateral ceasefire six months ago.

Support the Basque political prisoners!!
Support the democratic process in the Basque Country!!

Watch this documentary by an Aussie channel

The Spanish Inquisition.

For years now, the Basque people of Spain have alleged that Spanish police have regularly tortured suspects, arrested for having connections with the Basque separatist group ETA. Recently, those allegations have been backed up by the UN Human Rights Commission. This disturbing story actually comes at an interesting time in the decades-long Basque conflict.

Inaki De Juana should have been released under parole on the 25th of October 2004 as the Spanish penal law recognise. The Spanish government tried to stop all his redemssions but a judge in the Audiencia Nacional (Spanish Special Court inheritated from the Franco's Public Order Tribunal) refused all allegations as not legal. Then the Spanish government made up new charges upon two opinion article Inaki De Juana wrote in the newspaper Gara. He's been requested 96 years of prison for the two articles (what democratic state in this crazy world would do such a thing?). Again a judge in the Audiencia Nacional said that it wasn't anything that could be illegal in those articles. Allegations were made and the case is now on a superior judge's hands. Inaki finally did his sentence to the full under Spanish laws on the 7th of August 2006.

Comments as the ones above are based not on ignorance (I'm sure this Spaniard who sounds like Franco and the Guardia Civil knows the facts) but on hate and fascism.

This is Indymedia Éire. If you want to use far right wing comments and rubish I'm sure the PD's or even Fine Gael will have a nice chat for you and the ones like you.

Among all the Indymedia sites I know unfortunately the Éire's one is the one with more fascist and right wing comments. Let's not loose our time with them.

GAL was another terrorist group, and a big mistake of the Spanish government of that time, and an embarrasment for the Spanish people, so in that point you're right and there were killings from the other side too. However, GAL is already dismantled and their members in prison, while ETA is alive (although in an unstoppable slow death, mainly by lack of support from the Basque population) and some people still cheer them. I don't think they're fully comparable though, as GAL killed 23 people while ETA has killed 934 so far (and counting...), although the loss of any single life is a tragedy regardless of who is the killer.

One thing I've noticed both in this post and other related is that the anti-ETA comments are written with respect, while the pro-killers include "friendly" words like "idiot", "pathetic", "fascist",... It's obvious who believes on the strenght of their ideas and who thinks they need the use of violence, even verbal, to support them...

only one side is the one killing people.
Ever hear of GAL you blinkered idiot? Or the torturers and murders of the Guardia Civil? What is their emblem again? Save your ranting for your next PP meeting.

-"the Spanish government keep them as political hostages": De Juana is in jail because he killed 25 people between 1985 and 1986. He is a TERRORIST, not a political prisoner.

-"All of them did their sentences to the full". De Juana was sentenced to 2,995 years (yes, it's right) for his killings in those years. To do the sentence to the full would be to die in prison. He had now profited from prison benefits set by a Government he doesn't believe in. At least he should have the pride to stick to his ideas and do his sentence in full.

-"ETA's unilateral ceasefire". All ceasefires are unilateral when only one side is the one killing people.

-"fight the Spanish states' bid to keep him in prison for life". De Juana wrote in the Gara newspaper 2 articles, "Gallizo" and "El Escudo" last year, in which he admitted his membership to ETA, and threatened several high members of the Prisons system. In Spain, belonging to a Terrorist group or threatening the life of other people is a crime he has to be judged for.

Support the democratic process in the Basque Country, by getting rid of ETA and their threatening methods of "persuasion" and leaving the peaceful Basques to decide!!

If you go to the GPO, you are just an accomplice of De Juana.

-Iñaki de Juana Chaos, remembering the killing of the Becerril couple, a Seville city council member and his wife, in 1998:
“I love to see the shattered faces of the families in the funerals. Here, in jail, their cries are our smiles and we’ll end up laughing loud. This last action in Seville has been perfect. With it, I’ve eaten for the whole month”
