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.

WCPI launched a wide movement to set up mass organizations, Trade Unions and Workers’ Councils, supporting women in Iraq to establish their organizations.

WCPI’s Radio and offices in Kirkook, are the only parts of city’s politics to which people could turn up, in order to stop the bloody ethnic cleansing and nationalistic conflicts.

is the WCP of Iraq the same organisation as the CP of Iraq (the ones affiliated to the CP Ireland and the CP Britain - as opposed to the CPGB)?

If not, who are their international affiliates, or do they have any?

(i don't have time to trawl thru their site, so any supreme sectologists out there, now is your chance to shine...)

The CPI is at http://www.iraqcp.org/ They're the group that, from what I've heard, did some amazing work before Saddam, and were slaughtered by Saddam, and who offer the best hope for the Iraqi people today.

I looked briefly at the site of the WCPI, they have a links page but no links. Probably some other communist tradition/tendency is trying to start a group there. They're connected to the WCP of Iran, but that group's links page is similarily blank.

CCers believe in local councils as the most important political unit, although I'm pretty sure they also believe in a national parliament.

"Changing the Farsi alphabet
In order to help bridge the gap that separates Iranian society from the forefronts of scientific, industrial and cultural progress in the world today, and in order to help people benefit from the results of this progress and take a more direct and active part in it, the official Farsi alphabet should be systematically changed to Latin.

The party also calls for:

1 - English language to be taught from early school age with the aim of making it a prevalent language of education and administration.

2 - The Western calendar (the official calendar in use internationally today) to be officially recognized and to be used in official documents alongside the local calender. "

Odd, particularly as the Farsi alphabet as such isn't really used in Iraq...

I did not find any thing on the WCPI about the changing of the alphabet but i do not that there there is a wroker-communist party of Iran as well as Iraq, So that migh have bee what you saw

However i could not find any other WCP's in the region.

If you look on the section of their website entitled 'Party's programme' you'll see it there. However, looking again at that, it turns out that what's on that section of the site is actually the programme of the Worker-communist Party of Iran.
