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.

offsite link AI Reach: Gemini Reasoning Question of God Sat Aug 02, 2025 20:00 | Mind Agent
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

offsite link China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
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.

BAGHDAD OR BUST

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday March 31, 2003 12:56author by T Dillon Report this post to the editors

Side stepping the gore of collateral damage from dumb mercenaries' smart bombs dropped by degraded geriatrtic warriors, the chicken hawks zip up the body bags and bring the first of the boys back home in bits. The George and Laura show rolls into town for a prayer pow wow as the bodies are fork lifted out on a back lot. "Heros fallen in foreign fields, at great sacrifice for the stock market and our nation, in the eyes of God etc" and more of the same Bushshit!

SHYLOCK BUSH'S POUND OF FLESH


BAGHDAD OR BUST for GI George as the "good" guys mutate into mindless mayhem and pull the Serb Sarajevo shopping option. Butcher Rumsfeld's surgical strike with a meat cleaver on the Al Sh'ab street market, a promise of more awful shocking slaughter to come in the weeks ahead. It has already tipped the meat scales as Shylock Bush collects his pound of flesh and only guarantees that the real winner will be the martyred Saddam. Tripping over the body parts in the lost battle for hearts and minds, the walking wounded in Washington wash off the blood and guts at their Hollywood skripted press konference. "Intelligence accident" or "They did it", like the Chinese embassy in Belgrade last time round, just won't cut it!

Side stepping the gore of collateral damage from dumb mercenaries' smart bombs dropped by degraded geriatrtic warriors, the chicken hawks zip up the body bags and bring the first of the boys back home in bits. The George and Laura show rolls into town for a prayer pow wow as the bodies are fork lifted out on a back lot. "Heros fallen in foreign fields, at great sacrifice for the stock market and our nation, in the eyes of God etc" and more of the same Bushshit! Already they're haggling over the film rights and scouting for more dramatic live authentic death on location. Try spinning that together again, doctor Fleischer you heartless drone. Amerikan working class minority youth once more wrapped up in Old G'ory to keep usurpers like you in power without ever a vote kast for the Lon Cheney Bush youngun' war kabinet.

Amerika get ready, here come the flashbacks from Vietnam but without the saving grace of the soundtrack of the Sixties. Your laptop generals and corporate officer executives of death in this most evil conglomerate in history crunching out numbers and bones from the comfort of their Haliburton air conditioned textile Pentagon in the sand safely across the border. Old men to a man like the good ol' boys back home who thought all this pentagonese s#it up in the first place. The daily briefing, an obscene monotone of carnage and snuff videos for the emasculated in bedded media, a CNN braiwash, a tasteless blow job served up in cold consolation by some afro-gringo military spokes-stooge ( death industries is an equal opportunity employer) like Brigadier Vince Brooks in the tent on the ground, Uncle Tom Powell on the road for the AIPAC and Aunt Jemima Rice beside der Fuhrer in the White House, all of whose ancestors were Southern slaves presumably. Ironic really what it takes to become a Republican guard warmonger. Tamed and grateful like mindless zombies that licked the right boots up the ranks, they unwrap in pentagonese the pre-bodybagged statistics of the thousands of Iraqis "neutralized". Saddam could take classes from these folks. Remorse? Not even an afterburn!

The rights of Amerika and white Amerikan meat, with the exception of Taliban Johnny, now that's another thing. Don't you even imagine photographing those bodies until my government's next of kin notification barcodes are in the e mail; these are Amerikan lives for gawd's sake. "We hold the Geneva Konvention is for good, gawd fearin' chrissen folk. And we will hold the enemy responsible for these photographic war crimes, "let there be no misunderestimating that". Iraqis, who gives a damn about those raghead walla walla sand niggahs. Bulldoze them into the desert like Pops did back in 92! War crimes what war crimes?

What nasty new products have Shylock's merchants of death and carpetbaggers schlepped in as they storm this land like barbarian hordes from the Middle Ages and like Spielberg ghouls demonstrate the wonders of their satanic technology? Are they up to the job, will the batteries hold out? Will there be enough smart ammo so the "guys" never have to get up so close as to have to put on their latex gloves and actually bleed for this Bushshit? Multi million dollar Apaches already scalped by old farmers with rifles in the fields. Black Hawk down all over again and shades of ignominious tail between thier legs out of Somalia. David against Goliath! David always wins, sooner or later. How did Perle the Prince Of Darkness and Bush's Brit Amerisraeli koalition miss that at their bible briefing?

Sandstorm shifts to Baghdad and the scene quickly turns to Stalingrad with the New Nazis at the gates; is Stalin still at home? Street to street, house to house through the living room walls and hand to hand with human shields of one kind or another down the cut throat alleys and sewers. If it gets out of hand then I expect the diabolic Pentagon ones already have the IOF's Jenin scam down to a T, IOF professional exterminators liaisoning "in theater". And comrade Putin can teach Bush a thing or two from his Grozny deal not to mention gassing hostages and terrorists in confined theatres etc.. Bring in the 'dozers, guys and and we'll pile a mound of ruins in that biblical tradition, a monument to our great Judaeo-Christian culture in Washington, here where Satan fell. Proudly raise the standard on a modern Iwo Jima of re-bar, cement-dust, rubble and human flesh. Sound the bugle and frame the photo, a pledge fulfilled to Freeiraq, the latest proctectorate of the US oil industry.

Meanwhile the index wavers down on Wall Street as the Firm's accountants calculate the dividends of death. "Cough up 75 billion bucks for now" says Bush Two while your sons cough up blood in the foxholes around Saddam's ring of fire. Amerika is bankrupt in every sense of the word and even the world's school children see the monster is spooked and lurching to its next catastrophe.
