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.

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.

Remember Remember The 5th Of November, 2014 update - #MillionMaskMarch #OpIreland

category national | anti-capitalism | opinion/analysis author Sunday November 07, 2010 02:30author by V for vendetta Report this post to the editors

As Usual, Not much publicity at all on the MSM about this date..Obviously a date and a sentiment the establishment would like us to forget, but in light of the recent austerity measures both here and in Britain and the rise of the conservatives again as a force to be reckoned with in British politics, Here at indy, we think this event needs to be remembered. We kinda like the idea of somebody wiping out the whole rotten establishment in one fell swoop

The Gunpowder Plot was a failed assassination attempt against King James I of England and VI of Scotland by a group of provincial English Catholics led by Robert Catesby. Their aim was to blow up the Houses of Parliament on 5 November 1605, while the King and the entire Protestant aristocracy and nobility were inside. The conspirator who became most closely associated with the Plot in the popular imagination was Guy Fawkes, who had been assigned the task of lighting the fuse to the explosives.

Guy Fawkes A potted history:

Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606), also known as Guido Fawkes, the name he adopted while fighting for the Spanish in the Low Countries, belonged to a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605.

Fawkes was born and educated in York. His father died when Fawkes was eight years old, after which his mother married a recusant Catholic. Fawkes later converted to Catholicism and left for the continent, where he fought in the Eighty Years' War on the side of Catholic Spain against Protestant Dutch reformators. He travelled to Spain to seek support for a Catholic rebellion in England but was unsuccessful. He later met Thomas Wintour, with whom he returned to England.

Wintour introduced Fawkes to Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. The plotters secured the lease to an undercroft beneath the House of Lords, and Fawkes was placed in charge of the gunpowder they stockpiled there. Prompted by the receipt of an anonymous letter, the authorities searched Westminster Palace during the early hours of 5 November, and found Fawkes guarding the explosives. Over the next few days, he was questioned and tortured, and eventually he broke. Immediately before his execution on 31 January, Fawkes jumped from the scaffold where he was to be hanged and broke his neck, thus avoiding the agony of the drawing and quartering that followed.

Fawkes became synonymous with the Gunpowder Plot, which has been commemorated in England since 5 November 1605. His effigy is burned on a bonfire, often accompanied by a firework display.

Has it any real relevance today

Well the actual reasons for the plot were mainly religious and in that sense probably not. But as a great symbol of rebellious courage and ambition in that they plotted to blow up the houses of parliament complete with all their corrupt leaders and aristocracy inside, it has no equal.

Clearly it has also inspired the filmmaker of " V for Vendetta". Which has in it's turn has become a symbol for the Anonymous movement.
V for vendetta speech

In these days of oppressive governments imposing crucifying austerity measures on the poor in our society to pay for the gambles of their rich friends in finance and construction, in these days where we have little say in the thinly veiled slavery that passes for most of our lives, dictated by governments that don't care about their people and enforced by increasingly violent and unaccountable police forces and controlled by systematic violations of our civil liberties both in the digital realm and in our daily lives as we pass from one cctv camera to the next.. Kept in a state of constant fear and confusion and fed a daily diet of the lowest dumbed down media it is possible to create, and a constant stream of lies and distortions that passes for news, whilst education budgets are cut further and further. In these days, I think such an act of rebellion has great symbolic value and reminds us that our lords and masters are still quite vulnerable to those with strong conviction and courage.

Perhaps we should use this day as an opportunity to reflect on the idea that a government with no fear of it's citizens, if left to it's own devices will only serve it's own interests and quickly and systematically erode everything our people have fought and died for over the centuries in our country. The Governments both here and abroad need to feel that deep and gutteral fear of their citizens again. Its the only way that they will have any respect for and work in the interests of the people..

Here's to the students, the pensioners, the rossport protesters, eirigi, shannonwatch, ploughshares, animal rights activists, Anti GM , environmental, Right2Water, Anonymous, and all other NVDA protesters whose actions still manage to bring a tremble to the political knees of corrupt greedy uncaring and self serving political establishment. Lets show courage in our NVDA protests in the face of state brutality and furthermore lets stand together and united come voting time and make those political knees tremble even more and not in a good way. after all THEY work for US.

And here's to the deep seated dogged rebellious spirit of the Irish, hidden for so long but slowly awakening now. Long may it reign. Belated Happy November 5th to all dedicated activists who use this site. I raise my glass to you all.
