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 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.

Israelis ethnically cleanse the Negev

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday February 27, 2003 15:26author by kokomero Report this post to the editors

Bedouin villages destroyed because they're not 'civilised'

Zionazi government establishes bantustan in the Negev desert by expelling bedouin who've lived there for generations before the state of Israel was established.

Dozens of "illegal" bedouin villages and mosques across the Negev desert have been demolished by Israel's interior ministry.

The state wants to eradicate the bedouin and confiscate their land, they want to establish a Jewish settlement in the Negev. The Zionazi government justifies its actions by saying the bedouin don't have planning permission to build homes that have existed since before the state of Israel existed.

The Negev desert is Israel's next frontier. It accounts for about half the country's land but is home to less than one in 10 of the population. That makes it an ideal site for new settlements to accommodate some of the hundreds of thousands of Jewish immigrants the government expects in the coming years.

Five years ago, Ariel Sharon, then the interior minister, declared that the bedouin had disappeared and the Negev was empty "but for a few goats and sheep" which he promised "to deal with".

The campaign to clear the desert of all bedouin is continued today by the Jewish Agency for Israel which spearheads the government's efforts to bring another million Jews to Israel by 2010.

About half of the Negev's 140,000 bedouin have been cajoled or enticed out of the desert and into seven "recognised villages" or development towns that are little better than sprawling urban dumps. But the 70,000 or so bedouin who remain in the Negev say they are determined not to budge, not least because many of those who agreed to be resettled now regret it.

The resettled Arabs can only lease, not own, the land their houses stand on. And while neighbouring Jewish settlements are heavily subsidised and provided with quality services, the bedouin crammed into the seven towns lack proper sewage, roads and sometimes even homes.

This piece of thrash is most definitely anti-Israel and anti-Semitic. If this is not removed from Indymedia within the next hour, I, King Mob will be making an official complaint to the good officers of An Garda Siochana and they will have no hesitation in closing IMC Ireland down.

author by Avi Hararipublication date Sat Mar 01, 2003 17:03author address author phone Report this post to the editors

This article is anti-Semitic. This is not because of its content but rather because of its tone. It insults Jews both by comparing Zionism to Nazism and by being applied as a term of abuse for the current Israeli government.

If you are going to make arguments about Israel, I would suggest that you do it rationally and not in this dispicable manner.

Dear TPT,

we get anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, anti-Cuban and any amount of material supporting the line of the "civilised" world every day of the week.

It is rammed down our throats with no attempt at balanced discussion of the issues, but heaven help those who like the French government dare to have their own opinions!

Democracy ... HAH!

I thought you based the policy on an inspection of the innards of a freshly slaughtered gnu.

It could be good gnus or bad gnus.

The article that you refer to was heavily cross posted across Indymedias. This one wasn't.

Frankly as Pat will tell you Indymedia doesn't have a policy on pro arab/pro israeli/pro american articles.

What we do instead is toss a coin at the start of the week, and decide which way we lean this week.

Bush in his speech last night drew a clear line between those who are civilized and those who defend civilization, and the 'other' non-civilized ones. Strange, how it sounds like English rationalizations for the conquest of Ireland 400yrs. ago.

Funny this item has not been deleted because of its anti-Israel stance.How come an article of an anti-arab stance was deleted almost as soon as it was posted yesterday?
Whats Indymedia's policy? Anti american and anti semetic is quite allright but anti anything else is not P.C.?If your going to proclaim yourselves as being free media,be free and don't be censoring things just because the content of it might not agree with you.
