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.

Justice for Victims of 9/11 attacks and aftermath.

category international | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Monday February 06, 2012 22:07author by Declan Cullen Report this post to the editors

Will the victims of 9/11 ever receive justice?

I was reading an article in the 6th of February 2012 edition of the Irish independent in relation to the high Cancer rates suffered by rescue workers and EMS personal who attended the scene after the attacks of 9/11.

The Head of the EPA at the time of 9/11, Christie Todd - Whitman, told people that the air was safe to breath even though it was full of Asbestos, Lead, Mercury and Cadmium, she lied so Wall Street could reopen and business could resume, at the same time Mayor Rudy Giuliani told people to go out and shop. This was allegedly just after an massive attack by crazed Muslims when more attacks could have came and claimed more lives. This was another smoking gun that was quickly ignored.

The people effected (many have died since) by this lie are still fighting for compensation over tens years on. Their plight has been ignored, their has bravery has unrecognised and their story gone untold.

The aforementioned Muslims allegedly took over four planes (using box cutters) in the most secure airspace in the world, then flew them like Tom Cruise in the movie 'Top Gun' all over the Eastern Seaboard of the US. And all this while the US Air Force remained dormant on the ground during the whole attack. Not one wheel, on one Jet Interceptor rolled until the attacks were over.

The Pentagon was hit in the least populated, and best protected area of the building, that housed computers the held the Pentagons accounts. Accounts by the way the showed a massive 2.7 trillion dollars missing by their accounts. All the CCTV cameras around the Pentagon were not working on that day except one that did not show a plane, but did show a explosion suspiciously like one resultant
of a Cruise Missle attack. No plane, no bodies, no seats, no luggage, in fact nothing that would indicate a Commuter Plane hit the building was produced.

9/11 was a state sponsored attack designed to kill many birds with one stone. Bush got his wars, Cheney got greater power over the people of the US with the Patriot Act, Rumsfeld got to cover up the 2.7 trillion dollars missing from the Pentagon accounts, his pal Dov Zakheim, who was comptroller at the time, suffered no sanction. The oil companies got their oil pipeline route across the Middle East, the CIA got control of the opium, leading to a 80% increase in the supply of Heroin into the US, UK and Europe, even though they were present on the ground controlling the borders. That would be the equivalent of having your house robbed while it was full of policemen in every room.

But mostly the US got to put into operation its program of regime change around the world as laid out in the Project for a New American Century or PNAC document.

Muslims on the other hand suffered greatly. Their religion mocked, its followers marked for attacks and ridicule, and fellow Muslims bombed in their beds in various countries.

You would have more chance of throwing a penny up in the air in London and have it land in a money box in Dublin, then the hijackers had of pulling off those hijackings. Nobody believes the 'Muslims did it' fairy tale anymore. It only took ten years but better late then never and the punishment of crimes like 9/11 have no time limit. Hopefully one day soon the people who paid for and carried out the attacks of 9/11 will be exposed and charged and sentenced for their crimes.
