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.

Limerick - Event Notice
Thursday January 01 1970

Joe Higgins speaks on 'Che and fight against capitalism today'

category limerick | anti-capitalism | event notice author Monday April 06, 2009 22:46author by Limerick Socialist - SP Report this post to the editors

Joe Higgins, Socialist Party TD 1997-2007, will be in Limerick on Thursday for a public meeting at 8pm in Pery’s Hotel, Glentworth Street. Speaking about his recent travels to Latin America making the documentary ‘Che’ he will focus on the movements he saw against neoliberal, free market policies in Latin America today and their relevance for people in Ireland.

Joe Higgins has been a prominent campaigner for workers’ rights in Ireland and a key figure in the anti-Lisbon campaign in which he highlighted issues such as workers’ rights, privatisation and the EU's neo-liberal policies. The meeting will offer the opportunity to discuss Che Guevara's life as well as current events in Latin America and in Ireland with Joe and to hear his analysis.

Joe's new TG4 documentary follows Che’s first trip around Latin America, the 'motorcycle diaries' and examines the legacy Che has left and how his ideals influence current movements and struggles against exploitation and imperialism in Latin America.

Che was a tiredless fighter for ordinary people whose socialist ideas are now inspiring mass movement's. While travelling through Latin America Joe Higgins saw how it is truly a continent in revolt. Every day there are protests and strikes. Particularly relevant for Ireland are the cases, some of which Joe saw himself, where workers threatened with redundancy have occupied and run their workplace, and fought for it to be nationalised. This is just one of many ways in which the ideas of Che are alive and well in Latin America, and how we in Ireland can learn from those struggles.

In fact, with the government stepping up their vicious attacks on workers and the poor in their new, 'mini-budget', the need for people in Ireland to learn from the example's in Latin America has never been greater.

The meeting will take place at 8pm on Thursday April 9th in Pery’s Hotel on Glentworth Street.
