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.

When 60% of British 18-24s tell a pollster that "Israel treats Palestinians the way the Nazis treated the Jews", it's a red flag, says Clive Pinder. The UK needs a new backbone ? and a government not in hock to Muslims.

Hundreds More Repossessed Homes Go to British Speculators

category national | housing | press release author Sunday September 25, 2011 14:27author by PAW - Peoples Association Watchdog Report this post to the editors

Despite the widespread condemnation of the recent auction which seen some repossessed homes being sold by UK Auctioneers Allsop abetted by Irish accomplices Smart Properties, They have decided to have another round of Auctions.... This time for Hundreds of Repossessed Family Homes.

British Auctioneers "Allsop" and their irish accomplices Smart Properties are coming back to draw more blood from the already wound weary Irish people who are already suffering terribly due to mortgage difficulties.

The Next Auction scheduled for November 30th at the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin 2 will see Hundreds of repossessed Family homes being sold off to the highest bidder.

A spokesperson from The National Self Help Group PAW (peoples Association Watchdog) have condemned this latest news and said " This is unfortunately what we were expecting, The recent auction was a test run to assess the reaction of the public and now Allsop & Smart Properties are going in for the kill", " If the Government is seen to be acting to protect the families affected, within 12 months we can expect the situation in Ireland to be at such a dire level that a recovery will be impossible", the very fabric of society is being torn to shreds to satisfy the blood lust of these financial vampires" they said.

PAW have been overwhelmed with support since the last auction and they say that a massive turnout is expected for the next one, They are calling on all members of the public to boycott this shameful event and participate in a peaceful, dignified protest at the venue.

Minister Noonan Must act now to save these families, We are all fully aware that the bank bailouts for which we are all paying covers distressed mortgages, so he must stop the banks in their ruthless pursuit of an already payed debt before the headlines are covered by tragedy caused by stress and hopelessness.

We cannot stand by and watch as foreign mega rich bond holders are being handed enormous sums of money that they are not entitled to while children are made homeless and irreparable damage is inflicted upon Irish citizens, of the €21.5 billion given to bondholders last week with the stroke of a pen and without explanation, Minister Noonan could have solved the mortgage crisis and the Special Needs Assistants requirements with just a fraction of that amount, We must ask why he is serving the interests of foreign bankers and not the genuine needs of the Irish people as he is mandated to to and obliged to do under our constitution.

We implore all decent minded Irish men and women, to stand up against these monsters and to show some compassion for the families that are being made homeless through the greed of the money men that have driven us all into these dark days of worry and desperation.
