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.

A group of Mayo construction workers based in Waterford city have today rowed -in in support of their fellow county men currently incarcarated in Clover Hill prison.They have shown that they stand shoulder to shoulder with the men from north Mayo, by hoisting a banner in the colours of their county, from the mast of a huge tower crane overlooking Waterford city.It is their belief that the government of this country are duty bound to protect these men and indeed all the people of this Island, from those who would see us harm. read full story / add a comment

Why did it take a Socialist Party county councillor borrowing a hard hat and sneaking onto a site to uncover the Gama scandal? What were union officials like SIPTU's construction branch secretary, Eric Fleming, doing for the last three years?

Más Ó nó Mac thú, in ainm Naomh Phádraig tabhair cabhair do Teamhar.

Tara was Ireland's capital. Fenians died there in 1798. Early Sinn Féin members including Artur Griffith saved it 100 years ago from the digging of the British Israelites. The coronations stone of sorts, the stone of Destiney Liafáil is there to this day.

What is Sinn Féin about if it isn't about protecting Ireland's most historic site, the hill and valley of Tara? It's about time the party repeated what its members did 100 years ago.

The Daily Ireland has already criticised Sinn Féin members for not doing more. Now is the the time to stop the history of Ireland's most important valley being dug up by 22 ton Excavators. Contact 44 to let them know that you support Saving the Tara Valley. read full story / add a comment
international / anti-capitalism / news report Friday July 22, 2005 06:31 by Wayne
In the small rural town of Maleny , Queensland, Aus, where the Platypus swim, and Co-operative enterprise is at the second highest on the planet, the largest shareholder of the retail market, Woolworths, bulldozes it`s way into a community that opposes the development by 79%.
The developer with the aid of 160 police, began to excavate a site on a bend in Obi Obi creek, containing high populations of platypus.
Some are calling for a Boycott on Woolworths, or any of their companies due to this, and the undermining of fruit and vegetable growers by stocking imported goods instead.
This is a fine example of how Big Business gets a hand from the state. read full story / add a comment

Sudan. Khartoum. Dharfour.
Condolence Rice is "trouble shooting" the region at the moment and had scheduled a visit to the refugee camps to monitor conditions there and in particular the conditions of women.

This morning at the press conference held with the President of Sudan and the US secretary for trouble shooting, Sudanese guards "man-handled" [sic] both the western journalists accompanying Miss Rice onboard her USAF jet but also members of her staff.

Miss Rice reboarded her jet, and at about 11h00GMT the schedule went wrong, demands for apologies were made, US network TV smarts from the injury to its dignity, and the women of Dharfour camp became less important.

Sudan has apologised. read full story / add a comment
