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.

I have always felt strong about the issue of plastic bullets in the north of Ireland. Their use was always confined to the North of Ireland. The plastic bullet was used for ‘crowd control’ in riotous situations.

I have always been amazed at the fact that they have never been used in England. England has seen it fair share of intense rioting over the years resulting in police fatalities. In October 1985 PC Keith Blakelock was set upon by a group of men in Broadwater Farm, during the Tottenham riots. He was fatally injured after the attack in which machetes, knives and other weapons where used. The police where issued with plastic bullets and guns during these riots but never actually used them. I’m glad that they where never used in any part of England as they are a lethal weapon.

The record of death in Ireland, from this deadly lethal weapon speaks for itself, seventeen people. Nine of the seventeen people where eighteen or under, the youngest being 10. Some of theses children where killed in non riotous situations. They where simply murdered because they came from one side of the community (catholic). The weapon was used to terrorise people off the streets. The PSNI still retain the right to hold plastic bullets and deploy them in riotous situations. Herein lies the roots of conflict, discrimination and inequality. It seems that plastic bullets are only reserved for use against the Irish only, and when I say Irish I mean catholic/nationalist. Some things never change. You might image that in the current political climate that has enveloped the North of Ireland that this deadly weapon would be banned. If they are talking about a normal civilised society in which its citizens are all treated equally, why hold onto this lethal weapon ? For the PSNI to retain the right to hold and deploy this weapon makes a mockery of any real and meaningful progress, it makes one cautious for the future. Why have faith in a governing system when they continues to store such weapons that have murdered Irish children in non riotous situations.

We will never forget them. I have never seen the above photo of the mural in memory of Brain Stewart. It’s a beautiful mural, I hope we never have to paint any more.
