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.

Clare Daly and Mick Wallace carry out a protest to highlight military misuse of Shannon

category national | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Wednesday July 23, 2014 10:27author by fred Report this post to the editors

Yesterday independent TD's Clare Daly and Mick Wallace carried out a protest designed to highlight use of Shannon for military purposes yesterday. They were later released. Daly has vowed to hold the state to account for it's complicity in US military warmongering in the middle east and elsewhere. Fair play to Clare and Mick.

Clare has been one of our more conscientious TD's in her consistent opposition to US use of our airport in it's many pointless military campaigns that bring death and suffering to the "unpeople" of the middle east.

Clare Daly and Mick Wallace were arrested while attempting to inspect two US military aircraft.
Shannonwatch confirmed that the pair were on a protest to highlight a lack of scrutiny of US military movements through Shannon.

I say fair play Clare and to Mick. Thanks for yet again bravely putting your heads above the parapet instead of just sticking it into the trough like so many other spineless TD's and in doing so, representing the views of sane human beings who find war a sickening act.

Not that it should even be an argument compared to the overwhelming moral one, but It is also a fact, though not widely publicised by the MSM, that not only are we the beleagured taxpayers turning a blind eye to the transport of weapons to places like Iraq and indeed Israel where they will be used to kill poor brown "unpeople", but we are also actually subsidising these military adventures. The reason I say this is because we pay for security out of our taxes for their aircraft and for some reason we also waive commercial air fees for the US military when they use the airport. Any other aircraft using the airport must pay standard commercial air fees. However evidently baby killers are an exception to this rule because theirs is such an important cause which needs to be supported and partially underwritten by the Irish people.

From the independent's less than flattering article:

Speaking after their release from garda custody, Mr Wallace said they had been highlighting the issue of US military use of Shannon for the last three years in the Dail.

"We've been asking the Irish government to search these planes and prove they are not carrying weapons or munitions because there are strong suspicions that they are," said Mr Wallace.

"All our calls have fallen on deaf ears but former minister Alan Shatter told us if we could provide the evidence the government would do something and that's what we're trying to do and that's why we tried to reach these two planes."

Clare Daly and Mick Wallace continue to properly and truly represent the wishes of the majority of the citizens of this country in the matter of disproportionate Israeli aggression against the people of Palestine; they represent the likes of myself who lives in Mayo and has the misfortune - through no fault of mine - to be 'represented' by Kenny, Ring, O'Mahoney, Mulherrin and Calleary (4FGF, 1FFF).

Fair dues to them and long may they continue.
