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.

From Davy Carlin

Queens University and Management has bent over backwards to prevent the BAWM from having its meeting in the students union tonight at 7.30. And at very very late notice have eventually suceeded in blocking the BAWM from getting the room. So another room has been booked 2 minitues near by and yet another just in case.

Directions will be given on arrival, lets not forget that the leading Briitish army commander in Iraq during the war {shown again on TV last night} has very recently been invited to speak at Queens in a few months. Such actions by Queens will not prevent the will of those people whom may wish to oppose his arrival from doing so, in fact they will only strenghen it

What's BAWM?

though lots of other ideas did come to mind.
Probably better to presume since Davy is the Swimmie man from the north who posts their meetings, and remembering that the swimmies are anti-war, and stuff, that it is that.
Though as you can guess probably other sharp minds are thinking up acronym interpretations right now.

the college authorities only allow recognised societies book rooms. I presume it was booked by SWSS. Be careful when advertising the meeting! Remember in colleges the rooms are booked for college use!

Davy, use your head, be careful when booking rooms and advertising!

It's 'bomb' written phonetically as the Nordies would pronounce it. Great sense of humour up north, and they love their bawms.

College lefty I know that,but cheers for advice, although I presume those that booked the room should have been aware of that also. Orla BAWM stands for Belfast Anti War Movement of which I am also a member.

SWSS is a recognised society at QUB. However this is a political attempt to stop an anti-war meeting. The Students Union is now run by QUB management. Several excuses for not allowing the meeting to go ahead were used - eg 'controversial' meetings have to get the nod from the exec - even though NUS, USI and QUB exec have all affiliated to anti-war coalitions. In the end management said the union would be shut.

At the USI congress an anti war motion proposed by UCDSU and seconded by WITSU was not taken. The rightwingers in TCD and DIT rallied the right so that the motion would not be taken.

ah I meant other people with their sharp minds.
People like:

and of course you Mr Semantic.
(and of course Davy): and all those unknown sharp minds who either didn't want to comment or at the last minute thought not to comment.
