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.

Genoa: Italy Condemned by European Parliament Report etc.

Genoa Euro Parliament Appeal for Video Footage True Story of Diaz school raid

There is a call for the collection video evidence for the purposes of the trials and investigations around Genoa. A formal announcement form the legal team will be made in the coming days, this appeal is especially aimed at international participoants many of whose footage never found its way into the hands of thos einvolved inthe legal fallout.
-----------

Meanwhile yesterday the annual report of the European Parliament was today passed by a narrow margin. Article 28 of the docyument 'deplores the suspension of human rights during demonstrations and in particular on the occasion of the meeting of the G8 in Genoa".

A further amendment proposed by the PSE stated that "as regards the disturbances in Genoa we will continue to give particular attention to the outcome of the administrative investigations initiated in Italy to determine if on that occasion there was recourse to inhuman or degrading punishments."

The report was pased by a narrow margin: 274 -269 (14 abstentions)

The block which Fine Gael formed part of all voted against it, in Irish terms:
BANOTTI, Mary Elizabeth
DOYLE, Avril
CUSHNAHAN, John Walls
McCARTIN, John Joseph
SCALLON, Dana Rosemary

It would be interesting to know how FF MEPS and other Irish MEPS voted as I recall that Niall Andrews actually gave the Italians a bit of shit after Genoa.
----------

A translation of the most recent revelatrions concerning the cover-upo of the Diaz school search and destroy operation (involving the planting of molotov cocktails, a faked stabbing the fictitious stoning of police officers as pretext for the raid) can be found here:

and the largest attendance?
No.
Becuase the Gardai know that in Sweden and Italy steps were taken to endanger life.
They know that in Italy life was taken.
They know that elsewhere a different agreed approach to the exercising of democratic mandate succeeded in less protesters and police suffering the slings and knocks of fortune.

Your senior officers in the Gardaí are very bad at their job.
pity.

at the end of 2001.
You were treated to video tapes of Genoa, Barcelona, Gothenburg, Davos, Seattle amongst others.
You were handed documents wihch outlined policing options for public order issues.
You didn´t seem to learn very much.
Your behaviour of the bank holiday weekend was as I ahve written before inexcusable.
Because your senoir officers had been advised by their peers the bsetway of doing things.
It is a pity that ordinary guards have to suffer the incompetence of their higher officers.

Bad news for you scumbags and layabouts who are determined to cause mayhem yet again during the World Economic Forum later this year and Ireland's 6 six month Presidency of the European Union beginning January 2004 the loyal and dedicated officers of An Garda Siochana are waiting for you. We have got excellent crowd control classes from the Police Service of Northern Ireland who know well have to deal with scumbags like you and yes we have gotten training from the Italian Police as well. Ha Ha you you lazy layabout idlers.

Iosaf put it (myself) as
where could a young fine gaeler go stay on holidays in Italy?
who would they phone up?
I know where I stay when I´m in Italy.
Apparantly it´s with t********s.

Strange they weren´t that a few years ago.
Oh no when young Bonnoti strode off to the EC with focloir in one hand and italian in the other in her maiden speech (which was in gaeilge and stopped by the english chairperson) she was full of "democratic" spirit.
Openess in Europe.

Yes.
No.
Maybe.
