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.

Belfast Food Not Bombs Birthday

Chai, Cake & Chickpea Curry…

Belfast Food Not Bombs Celebrated the first anniversary of our regular soup kitchen on Botanic Avenue earlier tonight. A large crew turned out to serve up a tasty chickpea & potato curry some warming chai & a celebratory chocolate cake to the (un)suspecting Belfast public.

Food Not Bombs first hit the streets of Belfast in October 2002 to round of the weekend of the Grassroots Gathering in Giros. For a month or 2 in winter 02/03 there were regular kitchens serving food on Royal Avenue (Belfast’s Main Shopping Street). Throughout the attack & occupation of Iraq in 2003 Belfast FNB provided food for many demo’s & actions in Belfast (& we made a few trips to Shannon). In Dec 2003 Keith McHenry (co-founder of FNB from the states http//:www.foodnotbombs.net ) visited us on his speaking tour of Europe. We organised a talk/film screening & gig & a lot of people we’re quite inspired about FNB. Belfast FNB decided to put its focus into regular servings for the hungry & our regular soup kitchen on Botanic Avenue began.

Since Giros (café in the Warzone Centre http//:www.geocities.com/warzonecollective ) closed in Sep 03 we didn’t have a base to cook. From then on we became homeless & moved around cooking in various parts of Belfast wherever someone would donate a kitchen for the night. Over the last year we recycled a lot of food (that would’ve otherwise been wasted), made a lot of friends, & served a lot of meals. We learnt a lot about cooking, about group dynamics & grassroots organising. We also learnt that homeless issues are a pretty complex & require a lot more than a free meal once a fortnight. We’re still learning…

Over the summer the PSNI threatened to close us down on several occasions (sharing food with the hungry & curious doesn’t fit with Belfast’s new image of prosperity), but we persevered. Also in 2004 Belfast FNB catered for 1000’s over the Mayday weekend in Dublin, took part in the Ambush Peace Camp at Shannon, served breakfast outside the Belfast Magistrates Court during anti-war trials, & provided free food for the 8th Grassroots Gathering in Belfast.

In the next year we’re trying to seek out a kitchen (so we can open out our cooking sessions to be more inclusive), & we hope to get better at what we do & learn new things…

Belfast FNB serve free vegetarian/vegan meals every second Thursday outside Botanic Rail Station from 6.30 – 8pm. Our next serving will take place on the 23rd of December if you’d like to get involved drop us a line…

Having received from the bounty of Belfast FNB in the past, I just want to add my heartfelt congratulations to the organisation on their 1st birthday - the most beautiful infant organisation in Belfast! Great to see the pictures, and know that all the heads up there are still doing the business. Although I'm speaking only for myself, I know many Cork people/activists share my sentiments. Keep on doing the good stuff, you beautiful people!
