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.

Ed Moloney, today on Wbai, NYC, denounced a smear by Niall O'Dowd, in the Smurfit-subsidized Irish Voice. O'Dowd claims that in a forthcoming book, Moloney asserts that Gerry Adams cooperated with the British to botch IRA operations and thus pave the way for the peace process. Moloney said that O'Dowd does not have the courage to publish the allegation in Ireland because he knows its libellous. Moloney also said that Sinn Fein's Rita O'Hare, in Nyc, denounces Moloney as an unreconstructed Provo, while in Belfast, Sinn Fein claims that Moloney is a stooge of MI5. O'Dowd, served as liaison between Adams and the U.S. Commander in Chief, Clinton, in the days leading up to the Ira's ceasefire. read full story / add a comment

“This is the second time a Chinese man has been killed in Dublin. I have friends who are abused in the street, many of them have been physically attacked and if they go to the Gardai there is no response or they are very slow. Other friends have had their windows broken by teenagers and been attacked. Many of the Chinese suffer this, and I think the Government are responsible for this, and especially the Garda authorities.” “Racism is getting worse. I have been working as a software engineer for a year, others I work with feel that the conditions in Dublin are getting worse.” Said Wan, who working in Ireland for a year as he took part the protest against a racist murder in Dublin. read full story / add a comment

hi, I know you guys work really hard and I realise this is a user run forum, which I try to contribute towards from my home in the UK, but the frontpage is always up for weeks and weeks on end. There are lots of new and more interesting stories which appear on the newswire but nobody ever updates it. I know you're gonna jump on me and say 'why don't you do it'?. I live in teh Uk and cannot but I don't honestly think it takes more than 15 mins to update the frontpage. This will make teh site look fresher and more happening. Perhaps your volunteers can rotate this job on a weekly basis or something? But keep up the great work otherwise!!! read full story / add a comment

The last two months have witnessed events that depict Uganda as a country haunted by a past of kidnappings, killings and endemic rebel activity. Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels stepped up attacks in northern Uganda. The civilians trapped in this 15-year inferno continued to die helplessly in large numbers. read full story / add a comment

(13:12) A French tourist has become the latest victim in a spate of attacks on foreigners in Ireland. Gardaí say the man was stabbed in the back by an attacker who attempted to steal his mobile phone. The tourist was admitted to hospital for treatment and was discharged. The knife attack took place in Parnell Street in Dublin's inner city yesterday evening. Two hours later, a man was repeatedly stabbed when he intervened in a row between a man and a woman outside a pub on Dorset Street in Dublin. The victim was admitted to hospital where his condition is described as serious. read full story / add a comment

Lots of conversations at Ecotopia about this. What does anybody think? UK Decentralisation is proving slow and difficult - I think this is because a sense of ownership was built up by the London Crew who originated it and this has caused problems. I would love to see Belfast, Limerick, Cork, Galway, Dublin IMC's all feeding into an Ireland one or even a UK and Ireland one. I am writing this to begin a public debate on the subject. Should we set up a dedicated list to discuss this. IMC Irl - which is really in all honesty a Dublin IMC is getting a bigger volume of features and newswire stuff suddenly and features are going late or unpublished due to the fact that it is voluntary and people can only afford so much time - decentralisation I think would give an incentive to more people to get involved without travelling read full story / add a comment
