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

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.

Syria Attack Excuse To Finagle War With Iran

category international | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Friday September 06, 2013 22:32author by darn dems Report this post to the editors

Remember all the months of U.S. frustration with Iran not laying down and rolling over—that is after all the one-sided demands by the United States that feels it never has to treat any country like an equal—save its constant kissing of AIPAC, NEOCON, and Israel’s asses nonstop? Well all the horseshit about precise, punitive strikes is a stratagem to settle the Middle East situation once and for all. “To swallow and follow, weather old doctrine or new propaganda, is a weakness still dominating the human mind.” William E.

SYRIA ATTACK EXCUSE TO FINAGLE WAR WITH IRAN

By Darn Dems

[P.S. If you feel this message is important feel free to re-write, share, publish, email—let people know.]

Remember all the months of U.S. frustration with Iran not laying down and rolling over—that is after all the one-sided demands by the United States that feels it never has to treat any country like an equal—save its constant kissing of AIPAC, NEOCON, and Israel’s asses nonstop? Well all the horseshit about precise, punitive strikes is a stratagem to settle the Middle East situation once and for all. To get a clue on how inept the Defense Department is on understanding the real situation on the ground check out the interview between Representative Alan Grayson and Chuck Hagel at: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpolitics/2013/09/ho....html

Again the same Fifth Column Senators abusing power for the aims of right-wing Zionists. “Senator Feinstein, a Democrat, said she had asked the CIA to prepare a DVD for lawmakers that showed evidence that the Syrian government used chemical weapons against its own people”, See: http://froggyweb.com/news/articles/2013/sep/05/senator-...dous/

Another Senator too often on the wrong side of an issue is John McCain. McCain should be in mental hospital as his demon is his own distorted ego. Apparently he didn’t like the idea of mere x-soldiers lecturing him about military personnel. Well then he must not have liked lectures at Annapolis too his academic ranking there was very close to the bottom of the barrel—but hey he’s a genius now—ain’t they all?

John Kerry now walks onto the graves of many, many to-soon-be-dead humans souls, as he adamantly plays his well-crafted, seemingly rational justifications for more war; but his whole stage-craft of lies about knowing who is behind the chemical attacks, is a fraud of deceit of Biblical proportions. See:
http://ruvr.co.uk/2013_09_03/Debunking-Obama-s-chemical...ment/

Kerry is already a living corpse, another puppet for another Zionist-minted atrocity, similar to our Manchurian Candidate Barack Obama, both who lead this repeat of professional propaganda campaign, expecting the American public to swallow another pack of lies for another military and political fiasco (as if the U.S. can never learn from previous mistakes). Both have sold their souls to the devil of political push and shove. See: http://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-policy-statement-s...yria/

and, http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2013/08/neocons-push-ob...syria

To swallow and follow, weather old doctrine or new propaganda, is a weakness still dominating the human mind.” William E. Gladstone

Too many in Syria are already dead by bullet, by bomb, or some other inhumane human action such as by poisonous gas, etc.; but almost all who suffer, we might readily surmise, suffer in manner ungodly—as hell on earth, as more eternal wars in the Middle East are fought by religious factions and Super Power concerns. Much of the so-called civil war is due to outsiders entering into Syria at the United States’ behest. See: Transparent Hoax Could Lead to War: Phony "poison gas" attack spurs calls for intervention at: http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2013/08/25/transpare...-war/

All this ongoing murder (because war is essentially murder of a gruesome nature), in this case of Muslims, of various suasions or sects, also relates to plenty political conceits as well. John Kerry looking like Frankenstein, his stilted demeanor seems a man who has never taken a yoga class—congested with conceit and a Jewish hatred for most things Islamic, he does his eternal best Colin Powell moments to announce to the world there is no doubt, that is there is no conflict of interpretation, only facts, as the American Empire sees it as always correct (the track record for lies and foolishness being exactly the opposite.

The truth is we Americans must kill, main, destroy, blast, bleed, brutalize, burn, torture, bomb, stone, stab, etc., more Muslims to the ALTER OF YAHWEH (because the Judaic Scripture of Zionism is the Word of God). AMEN. Need one say more?

“Such as themselves are, such will God appear to them to be; and such as God appears to them to be, such will they show themselves in their dealings with their fellow men.” William Ralph Inge

“Religious contention is the devil’s harvest.” Charles Fountaine.

“Religion is a monumental chapter in the history of human egotism.” William James

This is clearly one more war crime on a rather long list of murderous crimes that the United States is expected to carry out for the ethnocentricity of Zionism—and people can’t understand why anti-Semitism is on the uptick?

Where is the outrage of anti-war protests? Apparently non-profit funding has dried up? See: http://hotair.com/archives/2013/08/29/anti-war-movement...yria/ How interesting that works?

So this Executive Administration boldly announces that since chemical weapons were used (as they adamantly demanded the U.N. Mission limited to finding out is such WMD were used (but NOT by who?), and by rushing into another major international crime, not just against the American people, but the international consensus. “No real investigators need apply”. And there are few, if any, real weapon inspectors experts like Scott Ritter, allowed any time to offer alternative insight, as the United States again pushes headstrong for bellicose war crimes.

Whereas years later, after all the MANY changed explanations as to why the U.S. lead the charge to attack Iraq illegally, both George W. Bush and Tony Blair “admitted” more or less privately, that it was for Israel (see article by Stephen Walt at ForeignPolicy.Com “I don’t mean to say I told you so” (February 8, 2010) and “Our One-Sided War on Terror” (July 26, 2013). So many criminal acts have already been perpetuated by so many American elites.

How many State Department, White House, National Security, and Pentagon monsters must we tax-paying Americans endure to their endless blood bath, too often for Israel’s War on Terrorists (that pretty much amounts to all Israel’s many enemies and those territories we need secure free oil and mineral rights for Western countries as our form of humanitarianism)? Our Federal government is already bankrupt even as war profiteers and private companies secure more and more lucre off these never-ending wars of religion and for the cheap theft of commodities?

Sophisticated public relations, by Congress people and mass media harpies, as a never-ending cacophony of political sycophants selling their latest excuses for more vampire blood-sucking, waves their false flag of red, white and blue patriotism and phony good intentions. It’s disgusting to listen to a truly ugly spirit-monster, like Zionist-subservient Samantha Power, mouth demon-possessed words about Russia holding the world hostage? How ironic? Has not the American public learned anything?

At some point the camel’s back will break, especially given all the animosity already felt toward the United States, that has destroyed our Republican form of government, to endless financial greed, lobby bribery, and erudite flakes like President Barack Obama.

At least John Bolton, in his “…I don’t do carrots…” bravado, didn’t play such a devious lie as Susan Rice and Samantha Powers of humanitarian intervention. The Democratic Party has proven itself beyond doubt as despicable as George W’s lower-than-low legacy. Obama is at best a caricature—to think these people care more about their personal power and legacies than how many people die is as bad as Nazi Germany. Americans can expect to be compared to the German people, many at the end of the day, had little more than excuses.

Some of the rhetoric about precise goals in attacks are so ill-defined that even their rhetorical smoke and mirrors can’t quite cover it upon reflection. If this as good as American intelligence gets we are in big trouble. See: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/08/28/israeli-inte...ical/

“Separation of Church and Stakes means we don’t support one terrorist religion over another one.”

IT IS TIME TO DISCUSS DIPLOMATICALLY THAT BELIGERENT COUTRIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST SEPARATE CHURCH AND STATE. American leaders should advocate for OUR political values and creed.

Amen

September 24th 2013 statements ...

"Mr Obama said the US wanted to resolve the nuclear issue peacefully ..."

" ... but I firmly believe the diplomatic path must be tested", he added.

Most important of all perhaps: "We are not seeking regime change ..." !!

=== === ===

On Iran, Mr Obama said the US wanted to resolve the nuclear issue peacefully, but was determined to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

"We are not seeking regime change, and we respect the right of the Iranian people to access peaceful nuclear energy," he insisted - an acknowledgment of the assertion frequently made by Iranian authorities.

"Instead, we insist that the Iranian government meet its responsibilities under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and UN Security Council resolutions."

"The roadblocks may prove to be too great, but I firmly believe the diplomatic path must be tested" he added further into the speech, saying he had urged Secretary of State John Kerry to pursue a deal.

"Hiding a military nuclear arsenal is no small feat. What this latest US-led lobbying effort in the UN demonstrates clearly, is that the State of Israel, shielded by its chief backers the United States, Great Britain and France, maintains its own set of rules outside of international laws and norms."
