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.

Smash racist networks!

Campaign against the „Imperium Fighting Championship“ at Leipzig

On 27th August the fifth „Imperium Fighting Championship“ will take place at Leipzig. Place of the event will be the Kohlrabizirkus in the southern part of the city. The organizer „Imperium Fight Team“ is interspersed with neo-Nazis. Well-known is certainly their coach Benjamin Brinsa. Brinsa was a leading member of the allegedly dissolved right-wing Ultra-group „Scenario Lok“ of the1. Football Club Lokomotive Leipzig.
header_netzwerke.jpg

The „Imperium Fight Team“ isn’t an „apolitical“ sports club, whosemembers are accidentally national socialist acitivists. In contrary: there is a whole neo-Nazi network standing behind the „Imperium Fight Team“. This network on the one hand successfully merchandises martial arts – on the other hand they are using their martial arts skills for targeted attacks on people. This poses a permanent threat to people of color, LGBTIQ*, left-wing activists and many other people in and beyond Saxony. We especially did not forget the attackon the left-wing alternative district of Connewitz on 11th January 2016.

Neo-Nazi gangs in failed state Saxony

The failed state Saxony is a homezone to neo-Nazis. While police and justice primarily prosecute left-wing activists and journalists, neo-Nazi gangs try to take law and order in their own hands. Right-wing vigilance committees are acting without any interruption. At the most federal institutions sometimes start prosecution against them. Violent and terrorist such as the „National Socialist Undergrond“ (NSU) or the „Weiße Wölfe Terrorcrew“ (WWT) did not by accident choose Saxony as a place for their infrastructure.

Global capitalism is in a deep crisis and the eastern part of Germany were never successfully integrated into the market economy. Violent clans and gangs with reactionary ideologies are spreading globally. So in the alleged political stable Federal Republic of Germany. Huge parts of the population have no satisfiying social perspective and nowadays it seems more likely to kick downward than to question capitalism. Therefore some people are organizing themselves in reactionary and authoritarian ways.

This social situation is a good opportunity especially for neo-Nazis who want to abolish parliamentarism and democracy to introduce a German „Volksgemeinschaft“. Some of them took advantage of the violent fragmentation of former Yugoslavia and went there as mercenarys to gain combat experience on Croatian side. Afterwards some of them returned to Saxony such as Reinhard R. who could be seen together with NPD and Legida lawyer Arndt Hohnstädter on one of the racist Legida rallies at Leipzig. The latter is by the way also lawyer of Imperium coach Benjamin Brinsa.

Those persons and networks are only a fractional amount of what is known about right-wing networks in Saxony. They stand as an example for the political reality here. Without actively taking over the state or even organizing political majorities, racists and neo-Nazis over and over again manage to establish a right-wing hegemony in parts of Saxony and oll over Germany. By torching asylum seekers’ homes, attacking left-wing activists, attacking migrant stores and murdering people of colour on the street the racists are implementing their political agenda right now. So called no go areas are existing because of right-wing networks which are way bigger than only political associations such as NPD, Die Rechte, III. Weg or AfD.

While the federal administrations policies since the 90’s are based on closing Europe’s borders, right-wing activists especially in eastern Germany organize racist excesses on the streets. Their business networks are the economic base for their political practice.The social subareas where right-wing networks could spread are not neutral settings for political infiltrations. The martial arts scene, security companies, prostitution business, vigilance committees, the rocker scene, the military – all of them are deeply patriarchally structured environments which inherit all necessary foundations of right-wing ideology. They are not neo-Nazi preserves as a whole, but they have to be criticized as sexist, authoritarian and partly racist structures!

The activities of the „Imperium“ network

Let’s have a look at the Imperium network. Imperium coach Benjamin Brinsa is part of fascist structures inside the fan scene of 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig. This environment also took part in the attacks on Connewitz whilst Legida had a big march in the city center. One of the attackers was one of the two owners of the security company „Pro GSL“. „Pro GSL“ is sponsor of the „Imperium Fighting Championship“. Until the last year „Pro GSL“ was located in 4 Große Fleischergasse in the city center. At this place there’s alsothe „Metropolis Table Dance Lounge“ – also a sponsor of the martial arts event and a meeting point of right-wing hooligans before several Legida demonstrations. Several attacks on antifascists were started from there. Another sponsor is the „Sauna FKK Club“ which is linked to the prositution business.

In the run up to the Legida demonstration in January not only cars of alternative projects were torched. Also the „Kohlrabizirkus“ based martial arts club „8 Weapons Gym“, which publicly supported the protests against Legida, was torched and completely destroyed. The fact that the „Kohlrabizirkus“ rents its rooms to a neo-Nazi network while some months before a non-right-wing gym is burned downon the some place without any traces of break-in, this brings up a lot of questions. Our campaign will raise those questions publicly.

We will take action when neo-Nazis try to terrorize us and we will not stay calm when whole areas are turned into right-wing homezones. Therefore: take part in our demonstration against the „Imperium Fighting Championship“ on 27th August!

Smash racist networks!

Demonstration: 27th August 2016 – 5:00 pm – Herderstraße/Wolfgang-Heinze-Straße – Leipzig-Connewitz
