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.

And whenever the government/Garda finds that people can still mount protests
they simply add new laws or extend existing ones. What we have my friends is
a steady but persisent erosion of our liberties.

At the same time with their obedient corporate press, they continually attempt
to label those who monitor and try to protect our civil liberties as radicals
or extremists of some kind. They do not want the 'ordinary' people to give any
thought to their civil liberties/rights and thereby they will automatically be
blind to how much they have been eroded. They do this with the implicit argument
that if you do nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about. This message
clearly comes across.

On another vein I can recall numerous people saying to me that they wouldn't attend
anti-war protests for fear of considered radical or worse being involved in 'trouble'
of some kind. What this shows is that people deep down have got the message and
are afraid of being 'spotted' and thus being labelled radical. They know then that
in the eyes of the law they will deemed to have switched sides and they are aware
of the retribution that the State can bring down on them.

So in a certain sense the public buys into the line that they will be okay as long
as they 'do nothing wrong' and people know that 'doing something wrong' means
attending protests and meetings or showing any other form of dissent.

Why else were so many of us told that protesting makes no difference? Because
they know the score. This issue is strongly linked to the level of apathy
in society.

And much of what is said here applies in most other countries too.

Thanks a million Mr.Finnerty.

author by mr finnertypublication date Mon Jul 21, 2003 14:57author address author phone Report this post to the editors

the name is María Ermelina Mosquera Jaramillo.
it is common to abreviate these latin names to
Mª Ermelina Mosquera
or sometimes
Ermelina Mosquera.
you might even see Ermelina Mª Mosquera written.
But as long it has the Ermelina and the Mosquera you know who it is, you don't even have to wrroy about the Jaramillo. & sure I see you didn't!!

until it ends up being a single sentence:

Anyone who was at the Boycott Coke Public Meeting in Dublin remember the name of the Colombian Trade Unionist who gave the talk?
Ermelina or María Mosquera.
On indymedia it states Ermelina but I found another article in the Mandate Newsletter stating María.
