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

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.

Eamonn McCann responds to Joe Higgins' call for new left party

category national | anti-capitalism | press release author Monday April 24, 2006 22:52author by kevin Wingfield - SWPauthor email info at swp dot ie Report this post to the editors

Speaking on Sunday morning, 23rd April, at the Jim Gralton Commemoration School in Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim, Eamonn McCann responded positively to Joe Higgins' call for a new left party.

Speaking on Sunday morning 23rd April, at the Jim Gralton Commemoration School in Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim, Eamonn McCann responded positively to Joe Higgins' call for a new left party.

"Joe Higgins’ call last weekend for a left-wing slate of candidates to fight the next Dail election is to be welcomed. There will be difficulties in the way of achieving the unity necessary to offer common left programme across the State. But we should not be daunted. We should see it as a duty, on as wide a basis as possible, to put forward a clear alternative to coalition with Fianna Fail or Fine Gael.

"The idea of a new mass-based Left party is some distance in the future. But a united campaign, bringing together credible community and single-issue groups, trade union activists and existing Left organisations is a realistic ambition which it is our duty to pursue.

"The party I am a member of, the SWP, responds positively to Joe Higgins’ call. We look forward to discussing how we might advance the project together, neither hiding the differences which exist, nor making such a fetish of them that continued fragmentation is ensured.

"At anti-war meetings and meetings of the People Before Profit/Davitt Alliance over recent months, I have been struck by the wide range of people who have been able to make common cause, despite previous sharp disagreements and resentments of one sort and another. Others will have had similar experiences in different contexts. We must build on this. I hope the days are gone when we allowed, say, different analyses of the class nature of the Soviet Union to stand in the way of joint action on immediate issues.

"We should discuss our differences as we march forward together. We might discover we have much learn from one another. We might have even more to learn from the people we would be appealing to in a general election campaign, who have no time for the endless wrangling which has characterised the Irish Left for too long.

"Some of the most committed fighters against neo-liberalism I have met in the past year would not describe themselves as socialists at all. Many have come into political activity through involvement in local issues---to do with planning, incineration,. hospital or school closures, etc., etc. They havn’t set out to overthrown capitalism, but their activity has brought them into confrontation with the neo-liberal agenda adopted by all the major capitalist parties.

"Who better than local campaigners who have earned the trust of their neighbours to carry the flag for a new Left initiative? Who better to represent the broad working class interest than the union activist who has helped organise her or his fellow workers to defend jobs and conditions?

"It is, I think, within the bounds of possibility to put forward candidates standing on a common programme in a dozen constituencies at least, not to seek a junior position in an administration dominated by adherents of neo-liberalism, but to represent and amplify the voice of resistance to neo-liberalism."
