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

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.

Further details of Grassroots Gathering in Dublin, June 27th

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday June 17, 2003 15:27author by GGfan Report this post to the editors

Update of information of the next Grassroots Gathering including venue details

*** Grassroots Gathering 5 ***
*** Dublin, June 27th - 29th ***

The fifth Grassroots Gathering will be held at the
Teacher's Club, 36 Parnell Square (west side), Dublin 1
from Friday 27 June at 7 pm to Sunday 29 June at 6
pm, with participants from community organisations, the
anti-war movement, environmental groups, global justice
campaigners, and more.

The Gathering brings together non-hierarchical activists
and groups involved in the global movement against neo-
liberalism and war for a weekend of workshops, socials,
videos, debates, activities and fun geared towards
building and developing the movement in Ireland,
particularly in view of the World Economic Forum's visit to
Ireland this autumn.

A key theme for this gathering is developing diversity
within the movement, and opening the Gathering to
movements and sectors which have not yet become
involved. Topics for workshops include: "Networking
between movements", "Opposing war", "Is social
partnership going anywhere?", "Whose progress?",
"Dealing with burnout", "Direct action", "Getting beyond
the usual suspects", "Preparing for the World Economic
Forum", "Who pays for the environment?", etc.

The Grassroots Gathering is a bottom-up (grassroots,
participatory, anti-authoritarian) network based on the
principle that people should control their own lives and
work together as equals, as part of how we work as well
as what we are working towards. It has been meeting for
the last two years in Dublin, Cork, Belfast and Limerick
and has also given birth to the Grassroots Network
Against War, pioneering mass non-violent direct action
against the US military use of Shannon. (There's more
information about the network, as well as a draft
timetable for this Gathering, on the web at
http://grassrootsgathering.freeservers.com.)

Please contact Eoghan at ,
tel 086-8792025, if you need floorspace, or if you can
offer it! We also hope to be able to organise on-location
childcare if needed - please let us know if so and we will
do our best to organise it.

The good bussers (as many of us as can make it) will also be giving a report back from Evian at the grassroots gathering.
So if you want to know how it went and hear about the 'accident' at the bridge involving Martin Shaw or the protests in Lausanne, as well as the days leading up to the protest, the building of the camps in Annemasse, come along and ask us.

We don't need no education, eh boizngalz?

I suppose we'll be supporting ASTI etc in their "struggle" for even more cash for wrecking even more heads and enduring even longer holidays while moaning about their less talented but better connected college mates who swindled better jobs, gaffs, orgasms etc while the worthee educators languished in the hell of a 21 hour week, 32 weeks a year, bless their tortured souls.

Down here on the street we work smart, we cause no grief, we liberate and celebrate. You can stuff your teachers' club bourgeois grassroots up your asti whatzi, no more grassroots, I'm on the moss...
