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.
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.
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
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.

"Green MEP Patricia McKenna yesterday expressed fears that the Gardai would not be able to cope if the protests turned violent."
And, referring to the garda riot at the Reclaim the Streets' May Day protest, Patricia McKenna's main concern: 'I just fear that the whole scale of the event will be too much for the Gardai to handle.'
can short summarys be posted from different groups who will participate in these "anti globalisation/ capitalist" protests stating
-their reasons for protest
-what and who exactly they are protesting against
-what they propose as an alternative
-what other things are they doing to combat those issues they are opposed to
i ask this as there are many people who are new to this area and just starting to deal with the issues of "globalisatiobn"
helpful links also appreciated

At a recent business lunch in Dublin hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland, BP Chairman and World Trade Organisation (WTO) guru, Peter Sutherland was guest speaker.
"Next year during Irelands EU presidency we must ensure that a common defence policy is reached and Ireland accepts its responsibility as a global player."
Thats Peter at work lobbying the lobbyists (ACCI and the assembled guests) to lobby the Irish govt.
So I presume its going to be on the menu.
Elsewhere, Forfas the industry development advisory group to the Minister of Enterprise, Trade & Employment says
Within our membership of the EU, Ireland should support the widespread application of the WTO trade disciplines as defined by GATS (General Agreement on Trade in SERVICES), to trade in audio-visual SERVICES, computer software SERVICES and transport SERVICES.

'Ireland will never have seen anything on the scale of this,'
30 or 40 thousand?
Really? Didn't we have about 3 or 4 times that number last February 15th?
Still, it's something to look forward to.
I should have looked at it properly. The report said 20 to 30 thousand, so in fact we had 4 or 5 times as many back in Feb.
Still, Y'all come.
if the beatings dished out onn rts mayday 2002 was preparation for this event. it seems today could be last chance for them for practice beatings on more innocent peaceful individuals?
see you at 5 @ the spike
The journo obviously did no research. He claimed that GR organised Genoa and Gothenburg!!!
I'd take the 20,000 - 30,000 with a kingsize pinch of salt. It was a figure produced off the top of Joe C.'s head. Considering that they had 20 - 30 people on their last march, I think it is very much wishful thinking.
hi from scotland.
okay, gr can be taken with a pinch of salt for now, but this sounds like a gret excuse to visit dublin again to me...
There were 44 people on the Globalise Resistance march from the Central Bank to the Coca-Cola headquarters on Baggot Street. I had photos but deleted them accidentally off the camera. I counted the crowd 4 times just to be sure.
what did you expect them to say? "well I think we'll have just the usual suspects; the swp...ah i mean GR, the SP, GP, anarchists and random punters"
Its a propaganda battle.
As for "ireland never seeing anything like this before" - while i agree that feb 15 saw many times that on the streets, that was an anti-war protest. If, if, IF 20,000 people march against the EU (who largely 'opposed' the war) then that will be hugley significant - especially if most of those are Irish.
I agree that the journo did fuck all research and it was a dreadful article. Still, at least it made the paper.
There was a much worse article by that twat Henry McDonald about how the far-left (who he refers to as the Marxist-Leninsts - MLs) 'hijacked genuine concerns'. I have never read such trash in my life. He also, falsely, claims that the MLs want an end to Israel. While this may be the case with the SWP, the SP certainly do not believe this. Obvioulsy the research dept at the Observer is vastly underfunded.
Also he calls Anti-Imperialism simple 'anti-americanism'.
This is his worst article yet. I used to think the observer was 'decent' enough paper (as far as establishment papers go), but having read Will Huttons book, and most recently his editorial that concluded "partnership is the way forward for the unions" I don't think I'll be buying it again.
