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

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.

Children as young as 13 held in Guantanamo Bay

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Sunday April 27, 2003 13:06author by EMauthor email xoin at hotmail dot comauthor address www.humanrightswatch.org Report this post to the editors

The US military has announced that at least three children aged from 13 to 15 are being held in the detention camp, Guantnamo Bay. Like other prisoners being held at the camp, they are being held indefinately without trial and are being interrogated by the military. They have been in captivity for over a year. Human Rights Watch have sent a letter to Donald Rumsfeld urging the United States to strictly observe international children's rights standards regarding the detainees.

"The use of children as soldiers is an appalling abuse," said Jo Becker, child rights advocacy director for Human Rights Watch. "These children are entitled to rehabilitation, not indefinite detention."

If I read that correctly, its an indictment more on the Taliban/Al Queda than the US holding them on Gitmo.

This shows the backward uncivilised unchristian mentality of the likes of nazi heathen Bush. If Tony and Bush had their way they'd be sending wee kids up chimneys and down mines again. Its obvious Tony/Bush couldn't give a fuk about the well being, health and rights of children, thats why they dropped cluster bombs and land mines in their pointless wargames. Its obvious that ultra capitalist nazi Bush admires the victorian attitude of dog eat dog third world regiemes like India/brazil/saudi arabia to children. Bush/blair admire the way third world regiemes treat their children. Filthy peasant children are a commodity, to be used, abused, and spat out.To slave in sweat shops, to beg on on the streets, to be degraded and brutalised so the rich can do what they want to these children. Paedophilia at its most powerful.Blair and bush want the same third world future/treatment for the children of the poor in their own countries, which is why Tony is introducing some nasty changes to the welfare state.

When we laugh at Iraqi hospitals, at the lack of facilities/equipment in ethiopian dirt shed, tin shack hospitals, stop and take a look at the state of our own health care system. We have elderly pensioners lying on trolleys in hospital corridors, we have filthy unhygenic facillities/equipment, where if you're not fatally ill before you go into hospital, you will be after your stay in hospital, due to unsanitory equipment or tired overworked underpaid health workers making understandable mistakes. We have management staff trying to cut corners in order to make figures work, we have staff under pressure to falsify information on waiting lists. We have a health care system in crisis, because renegade Government pirates would rather waste billions of taxpayers money on War and pointless war games in far off foreign soils.

"Couldn't give a feck
by Max Mon, Apr 28 2003, 11:50pm

those "kids" would gut yor Granny like a hog given the chance...... its the best place for them."

Yeah. Let's demonize these common Taliban grunt soldiers. I'm sure especially the young ones were in on the top Al Queda plans you trivial fop,
Max'. There have been 29 attempted suicides as the US Sp Forces thugs TORTURE these regular Taliban soldiers. Their has also been one successful suicide to escape the Torture. The LIFE magazine picture that the US Army was so angry about being smuggled out - showed these boys After SIX Continuous months in prison there - Still being Tortured with full black eye goggle face masks on over both mouth and nose. Tied hand and foot and forced to kneel on sharp gravel for days at time while US Special Forces beat and 'interogate' them.
____________________________
So you won't speak up for the tortured in the US Ay Max .... you superficial twit? You don't give a 'feck' because those tortured by the US fought for their government when the US invaded their country ay ...

Well
As pastor Martin Niemoeller said of Nazi Germany:

"First they came for the communists I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn't a trade unionst. They they came for
the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, but by that time no one was left to speak up. "

So you won't speak up for the Taliban tortured, because you are not that kind of a muslim and you don't believe in the kind of government they were defending... Max?

OK.

And when they come and torture you - for what ever YOU believe in and fight for perhaps there will be no one left to give a 'feck' about you, you manure-kicking ignoramus.
