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.

URGENT: AFA Alert: Haider in Dublin:

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday April 09, 2003 16:28author by AFA - Anti Fascist Actionauthor email afa at ireland dot comauthor address C/o PO Box 3355, Dublin 7 Report this post to the editors

E-mail protests needed NOW!

•••••••••••••••••••••••• PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY •••••••••••••••••••••••• Flood TCD and the Phil with protest e-mails.

URGENT: AFA Alert:
Haider in Dublin: E-mail protests needed NOW!

The Philosophical Society in Trinity College Dublin have announced that they have invited the fascist Jφrg Haider, of the far right Austrian Freedom Party, to speak at a debate in the college on Thursday 10th April.

The meeting is scheduled to be held in the Graduate Memorial Building in TCD at 7.30pm tomorrow night.

The short notice is obviously an attempt to prevent protest against the visit. AFA is asking people to send messages opposing the Haider’s invitation to the President of the Philosophical Society and to Trinity College at the contact points below.

Also listed as speakers at the debate are Ruairi Quinn, former leader of the Labour Party, and Bernard Durkan of Fine Gael. Since they appear willing to share a platform with a fascist they are worthy of questioning e-mails at ruairi.quinn@oireachtas.irlgov.ie and bernard.durkan@oireachtas.irlgov.ie

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT MESSAGES ARE SENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

In November 2002 the Historical Society in TCD were refused permission to invite the holocaust revisionist David Irving to a debate in the college. At the time College Security issued the following statement.

"A visit to College by Mr. Irving a number of years ago was cancelled for security and safety reasons. While I am sure that the Historical Society and the vast majority of the college community would act in a responsible manner during this proposed visit, it is well known that there are various elements within and outside College who would use every means at their disposal to disrupt the visit. I have to take into account the safety of every person on campus plus the security and care of College buildings and property. On these grounds, I regret to say, I would not be in favour of this visit taking place."

This point you may wish to include in your letter to TCD, as to why they are permitting Haider to attend now.

While I don’t agree with Mr. Haider’s politics, I believe that he like all others should be afforded the right of free speech, those that would deny him that right threaten the very foundations upon which our society stands.

www.fpp.co.uk Irving has to give his books away for free because the zionists who are behind this war dont like him. The lefties here are indirectly responsible for the war by aiding zionism by opposing the free speech of revisionists.

OK, someone wants "freedom of speech" for the nazi asshole?

So, when the nazi asshole starts to speak, why not everyone who disagrees stand up and each deliver their own speech. LOUDLY.

Or, as Chairman Mao said, "Let a thousand flowers of thought contend".

Dr Frankenstein has reanimated the ANL specially for this occasion.

Dont obey any "orders" from ANL "stewards". Make sure that Haider is stopped.

from stormfront.org http://www.stormfront.org/forum/threadid64030.php

'Former Austrian Freedom Party leader Jorg Haider will be adressing a debate on the European Union in Trinity College Dublins Philosophical Debating Society, on Thursday 10th, access is open only to society members unfortunatley.
There will probably be members of the the Students Socialist Workers Party Society protesting, who might like to have their picture taken if anyone is thinking of a career in photography.'

guess these revisionist muppets will be hanging about tonight.
