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.

Take Action for Palestine on Wed 5 June Naksa Day

The Palestinian trade union movement has called on workers across the world for support to end the genocide in Gaza. In their May Day statement, they called on the international workers movement to block the supply of arms to Israel, build BDS campaigns, make trade unions everywhere Apartheid Free Zones, and to pressurise governments to cease all forms of cooperation with apartheid Israel.

Join the Workplace Day of Action on Naksa Day, 5 June 2024

We are encouraging all workers, in small and large workplaces, across all sectors, to take action, whether it is deepening and building on existing work or taking initial steps. Below are some suggestions for actions – consider what you can best do in your workplace. Get support from your union. ICTU, most Irish trade unions and trades councils all have strong policies in support of Palestine. If you are in a workplace which is not unionised, you can still take action.

If you are planning an action, please do let us know by emailing us at tradeunions@ipsc.ie thanks

  • Organise a meeting to talk about Palestine. Contact IPSC at tradeunions@ipsc.ie for leaflets and if you would like a speaker or support
  • Organise a solidarity demonstration. Consider a demonstration linking up with other workplaces in your area
  • Campaign to make your workplace apartheid-free and genocide-free. BDS is a powerful and effective act of solidarity, especially at workplace and sector level. Do an audit in your workplace. If you work in the public sector, submit a Freedom of Information (FOI) request. Ask your union to negotiate with your employer to boycott all complicit companies.
  • As an individual worker you have the right not to be complicit in genocide. You can lodge a claim, individually or as a group or through your union, to amend your employment contract to insert a clause recognising the right not to handle good from countries under investigation for genocide.
  • Demand that the Irish government enact the Occupied Territories Bill and the Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill. Make your voice heard on this issue through your union and on the streets.
  • Take action to end the use of Shannon Airport by the US military and the bilateral arms and ‘dual use’ trade with Israel.
  • Make your union an Apartheid Free Zone.

Join the Workplace Day of Action on 5 June. Whether your workplace is small or large take solidarity action. And if you are, please let us know by emailing us at tradeunions@ipsc.ie thanks
