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.

Papers stress Iraq's 'brave' resistance

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday March 24, 2003 16:56author by auntie beeb Report this post to the editors

The Arabic press on Monday focused on the resistance being mounted by Iraqi troops against US-led forces invading the country. They also turn their attention to the plight of civilians and prisoners-of-war.

The USA lost the diplomatic war and hoped to compensate for this with military war... But it did not receive a red-carpet welcome in Iraq.

Al-Jamahiriyah - Libya


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Those who allege that they are concerned about the "freedom" of Iraq and about spreading democracy in the world ought to liberate themselves, before expressing this fake concern, which in fact reflects arrogance of power.

Al-Thawra - Syria


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The obvious thing is that the thousands of missiles and bombs, which they are dropping on Iraqi towns and on historic and cultural sites, will strengthen the coherence of the Iraqi people, the unity of their land and their brave stand.

Tishrin - Syria


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The strong resistance which has been shown by the Iraqi people in the past few days since the aggressive war began is a clear indication of the collapse of Washington's claims that its aggression will be fun and its targets against Iraq will be easy.

Al-Ba'th - Syria


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Iraqis' steadfastness and resistance is noble and gallant.

Al-Wafd - Egypt


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The issue of destroying weapons of mass destruction should not be requested by one country to the exclusion of other countries. It should be a collective task.

Al-Ahram - Egypt


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The USA in its aggression against Iraq has proved that it is the first country which sponsors terrorism to realize its hegemony over the world.

Al-Akhbar - Egypt


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is clear that the USA needs someone who will advise it, so that it behaves like a modern superpower and not like its Israeli ally.

Al-Watan - Saudi Arabia


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The talk about smart bombs while blood is flowing as a result of these so called smart bombs is considered to be extreme provocation of the ill-fated Iraqi families and the entire world.

Al-Jazirah - Saudi Arabia


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The occupation of Iraq will be the beginning of the worst disaster for the entire region.

Ukaz - Saudi Arabia


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The USA is not interested in Iraqi oil but at the same time it does not want Iraqi oil to be used to manufacture weapons of mass destruction.

Al-Watan - Kuwait


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No doubt we are witnessing an important phase in our history. The fraternal Iraqi people are the ones who will benefit most from this war and who will call to account all those who stood against their liberation from the Iraqi regime.

Al-Qabas - Kuwait


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The USA should be the last to speak about respecting international laws and conventions.

Al-Watan - Qatar


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We call on the international community and the UN in particular and its humanitarian organs to urgently intervene and protect civilians and PoWs.

Al-Ittihad - UAE


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is our national right to call upon those dropping bombs and firing bullets to stop the war against the people of Iraq.

Al-Bayan - UAE


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iraq is not Saddam or those loyal people around him. Iraq is date-trees and historic rivers... The history and geography of Iraq will not be diminished by the ongoing dropping of missiles and bombs.

Al-Hayat al-Jadidah - Palestinian


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, the Arab system is facing three major crises, which are ambushing Iraq, Palestine and the Arab and Islamic culture as a whole.

Al-Hayat - pan-Arab, Saudi-owned


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
