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.

The delusional EU believes it can wield carbon tariffs as weapons. But its grandiloquent Net Zero scheme is destined to collapse under the weight of the bloc's utter economic irrelevance, says Tilak Doshi.

Irish anarchist texts in Polish

category national | racism & migration related issues | other press author Tuesday February 20, 2007 10:53author by Joe - WSM - personal capacity Report this post to the editors

This years anarchist bookfair (3rd March, Teachers Club) will see a meeting for Polish speaking anarchists in Ireland. There will also be a 'Polish anarchists in Ireland' stall. Poland has quite a large anarchist movement as a result there are a significant number of Polish anarchists who like other Poles have migrated to Ireland to find work. They have translated a large number of articles written by anarchist in Ireland by WSM members into Polish. These translations are now available on the WSM web site.

The texts include translations of reports the WSM had written of the situation of Polish and other migrant workes in Ireland including coverage of the Irish Ferries dispute and the racist referendum. Other articles are WSM articles on anarchist theory and history including a critique of Marxism. The English original of each of these translation is linked from the bottom of the Polish translation on the WSM site.

Tesco eksploatuje cudzoziemców (Tesco Temp workers)
From Workers Solidarity No 88, Sep 2005
Na przełomie lipca i sierpnia główne polskie media przedstawiły historie dwóch polskich pracowników zwolnionych z dublinskigo TESCO z powodu walki o prawa pracownicze. Pikiety zorganizowane przez Tymczasowy Komitet Obrony Robotników odbyły się w kilku miastach w Irlandii, Anglii i Polski. Polskie gazety nazwały to „globalną akcją przeciw Tesco!”. Jeden z wyrzuconych pracowników, Radek Sawicki opowiada nam o swojej walce z TESCO i jej konsekwencjami.

Irlandzkie promy- udana walka fatalny układ (Irish Ferries)
From Workers Solidarity 90, Jan/Feb 2006
Końcem 2005 roku dwa promy należące do Irish Ferries zostały okupowane przez załogę broniąca się w ten sposób przez wkroczeniem ochrony która miała za zadanie zastąpić ich pracowników innymi. W piątek w rożnych miastach Irlandii ponad 100 tysięcy osób opuściło swe stanowiska pracy przystępując do marszu solidarnościowego z uczestnikami okupacji. Ugoda z firma została osiągnięta ,związki obwieściły zwycięstwo ale czy ta ugoda to prawdziwe zwycięstwo?

Razem możemy pokonać Irish Ferries
WSM statement for Irish Ferries demonstration
Piątkowa demonstracja jest okazją dla wszystkich irlandzkich pracowników do pokazania swojego wsparcia i solidarności z pracownikami Irish Ferries wspierając ich w walce przeciw eksploatacji i pozbawienia miejsc pracy. Ich walka jest nasza walką bo jeśli korporacja odniesie sukces zwalczając sprzeciw swych pracowników otworzy to drogę pracodawcom do swobodnego cięcia płac i podważania warunków pracy, pozwoli to na trwanie procesu który już się zaczął.

Krzywda jednego jest krzywda wszystkich (On the GAMA strike)
written by a WSM member for Anarkismo.net
Ostatni byliśmy świadkami walecznych zmagań emigranckich pracowników o równe płace i warunki pracy takie same jak ich irlandzkich kolegów. 900 tureckich pracowników i 300 irlandzkich zostało zatrudnionych przez firmę budowlana GAMA. Zgodnie z umowa o zarejestrowanym zatrudnieniu, żaden z pracowników budowlanych który pracuje legalnie, nie może być zatrudniany za mniej niż 12.96 eu za godzinę, jednak GAMA płaciła swym tureckim pracownikom zaledwie 2.20 za godzinę.

Rola organizacji anarchistycznej (role of the anarchist organisation)
rom Workers Solidarity 94 Nov/Dec 2006
Patrząc na dzisiejszy świat trudno jest sobie wyobrazic jak miało by powstać społeczeństwo które chcielibyśmy zobaczyć. Ale zamiast siedzieć z założonymi rękami czekając na upadek kapitalizmu albo nadejście rewolucji, wierzymy w organizowanie sie tu i teraz.

Wolnosc (Thinking about anarchism : Liberty)
Workers Solidarity No 85, March 2005
Rozmyślania na temat anarchizmu. Mówi się o dwóch typach wolności- pozytywnej i negatywnej lub uogólniając, o istnieniu wolność od.. do. Uważam tą dychotomie za nieprawdziwa i mało znacząca. Wolność nie jest słowem opisującym dwojakość, wolność odnosi się tylko do jednego stanu rzeczy.

Którędy do rewolucji (Which way to the revolution)
Red & Black Revolution 2
Od lat 70’ dziewiętnastego wieku światem wstrząsnęły rewolucje, które i tak spełzły na niczym. Anarchiści zdają sobie sprawę czemu poprzednie rewolucje skończyły się porażką, ale czy wiemy jak rozpocząć rewolucje która się uda? Jakie kroki możemy podjąć już teraz aby przygotować rewolucje, a może jest to tylko kwestia oczekiwania na odpowiedni moment?

Jeśli chcesz stworzyć socjalizm musi być on oparty na wolności (Socialism must be based on Freedom')

Artykuł ten oparty jest na debacie „ Anarchizm czy Marksizm”, która odbyła się na tegorocznym letnim obozie Młodych Socjalistów
