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.

It may shock the poster above to discover that most Cabra people speak with Cabra accents, strange as it may seem.

So what is the problem??

why is it everytime a new leftist group appears, they slag off the "irrelevant" left parties, which of course they are not part of. Their party of course is different. Not irrelevant etc. Reads a little silly of you ask me, also about how the socialist party hijacked a protest about lets see two socialist party politicians being jailed. Seems he's just like the rest of the infighting left he is complaining about.

I read that interview. He says that he is opposed to working class people needing leadership...then he criticises SF for not giving leadership! He also says he heckled Rosie Kane MSP at the "Free Clare and Joe" demonstration. Because she was talking about immigration and asylum seekers getting screwed over by the capitalist state. Ignorant fecker. That guy is coming from the base level of society. He plays down his politics to lumpenised elements. He has a record of being pandering to the "burn 'em out!" anti-paedophile elements.

You are nothing but a troll. Now feck off idiot.

This is what CP said about Kane, in context.
"AM: Around the time that anti-bin tax protets were being held at the Dail there were also protests staged there against the immigration policy of the Dublin government. Does the hackling of Rosie Kane, a member of the Scottish Parliament by anti-bin tax supporters when she raised the case of an African asylum-seeker who was trying to return to Dublin from Scotland not give you cause for concern?

CP: Not in the least. I was involved in that hackling of Kane. My record on anti-racism/anti-fascism speaks for itself. I’ve being involved in Anti Fascist Action since it’s foundation 10 years ago. I have always been upfront in my opinions on racism even though it has not been popular in the last few years.

The content of Kane’s speech was typical of the left. The huge turnout on the march was due to the anger in working class communities against both the jailing of Higgins and Daly, and the constant attacks on the living conditions of working class people as typified by the Bin Tax. Yet Kane’s speech concentrated on issues that were of concern to her and her like, not the ordinary working class people who populated the demonstration. The problem with the demonstration that night was that it was effectively hijacked by the Socialist Party, resulting in a load of irrelevant leftist speakers rather than those that represented the majority of people on the march, working class community activists. Simply, people were there to hear about the battle against the Bin Tax not to hear about the chosen subjects of the leftists. "

The election leaflet I've seen mentions nothing about the bin charges or socialism or the 6 cos or any other issue on which he has claimed SF has "sold out". A cyncial attempt to get votes on the back of people's concerns about anti-social behaviour and crime. The guy wouldnt have a fucking clue what to do if given a position of responsibilty but thankfully the people of Cabra have no intentions of doing that so we're safe.

I think that the extract of Perry's interview confirms what I'm saying. He is saying that "other isssues" shouldn't be raised at bin tax demos. What's wrong with attacking the government that is jailing bin tax protesters AND depoting immigrants! It's the same government implementing equally anti-working class policies.

Perry has a lot to answer on his regressive attitude on paedophiles and crime. He is not raising socialism in his leaflets. He's shifting his politics to "get votes". He and Joe Mooney are chancers.

Why the fuck do you think these trolls are SPers. I am sick and tired of every troll idiot being labelled a SPer, remember there are plenty of childish fools who come on this site just to stir shit and will take on the guise of any party they find most convenient

For months they have allowed the senior SP member who adopts the various 'watcher' labels to troll on indymedia thread after indymedia thread. Hes at it at the moment. So people now assume that trolls coming from an SP angle are SP members as well. We've no way of telling the real ones from the fakes. Put your own house in order and that will change.

Actually SP member, you've probably just been suckered into giving a troll a chance to list the thousand and one supposed crimes of your organisations.

Perry Watcher and Watching Perry Watcher are probably the same troll. First he attakcs someone. Then under a second name he accuses someone else of the attack.

Then he sits back and watches the troll fest that ensues.

It is equally possible that trollwatcher is the person stirring the shit.
