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

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.

Any chance you could bring seattle to shannon on saturday? Hope to see you all there at 2pm in the town centre! would be a good focus for gr for the future, don't ya think?

I understand Globalise Resistance are against neo-liberalism etc, and are also linked with SWP politics (this has never "been hidden from public knowledge" as many seem to think). But I have to go against the use of the persistant use of Anti this and that without the alternative being offered.
Rory, what is the alternitive that GR and SWP propose? Obviously, a socialist state is the all encompassing word, but what does that entail? In what way does it progress from the past socialist (mis)adventures and in what way might it improve our present system? In what way does the position of GR and SWP move from the anti stance to the pro, where a tangible alternative is being offered to people?
And please, for those of you who have a habit of simply coming to IMC to offer sectarian comments and persist in your own created rivalries, go to another news article.
ps. my political affiliation is non-existant, only that i share many of the sentiments of most of the groups that use this site. Yes, we do exist.

I know others have said it slagging GR off before but using O20 does unfortunatley look very similar to the phone logo. what is the significance though of using the abreviated form? is there something more to it, because as far as I can make out it merely uses the discourse of the corporation.
just a passing comment

I think GR dont exactly have a 'pro' alternative at the moment. Yes, GR and SWP have a connection with its members and... share the same office... but however, GR is trying to break away from the title of a cover for SWP. The sooner they break away from that title, the better.

Fair enough. but who, when, structure, who's behind it. A site is announced. a list set up and name given to the protests. A mailing list with 27 people. (i'm interested enough to subscribe)

Not slagging, not suggesting people put all their details on the net. But some level of transparency wouldn't go a miss surely? or maybe i'm just paranoid.

on the use of O20 , most of these anti-capitalist/globalisation/corporate (call them what you will) demos are simply know by the abbreviated form of the days they take place.

But I think the O20 is quite clever.

Read the GR, they have a section titled Anti Capitalist FAQ. The writer of this section pretends to be an anarchist! They are so unpopular they now pretend to be us! How sad is that Rory?

C'mon 'genuine anarchists' get real. The GR site lacks any mention of anarchism. Why would they want to be associated with an ideology they disagree with.
You're the sad one(s). Post something worth debating.

There's a page in there (resources? about anticapitalism? something like that) that contains an article by some British SWP people, an FAQ, a Chomsky bit, and some other bits and pieces. The FAQ was written by an anarchist. But its not that someone from GR is pretending to be an anarchist, but that that page is made up of stuff lifted from other sites.

"reload anticapitalism"

"O20"

"the press barons ball "

"People also talked about the need to bring the anti-captialist movement to Ireland" vs "We want to continue building the movement here in Ireland" (Well-which is it?)

"....bring seattle to dublin.."

Ever thought of writing for the Sun or some other prol-fodder paper? your writing style suits it. baseless sensationalism. who's your page 3? a topless stalin?

Why are there no links to anarchist groups in
the "Activist Websites" section? It seems a
bit strange that it lists marxist parties but
not anarchist groups, if it really is a board
organisation...

There didn't seem to be much happening as far as a way for people from other countries coming to Ireland for the WEF to see what's going on was concerned. So someone set up the website just to link all the stuff that's going on together, nothing sinister : )
Are you signed up to the mailing list? It's a way for us all to communicate, throw around some ideas an all, pool our information/ideas/plans.
