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.

Palestinian journalist and peace activist in Dublin

Palestinian journalist and grassroots activist, Osama Qashoo will be in Dublin on Monday 11th August as part of his speaking tour of Europe on behalf of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) and the Palestinian non-violent resistance movement.

A spokesperson for the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) said, "As a 22 year old front-line activist, Qashoo offers a firsthand account of the growing non–violent resistance movement against the Israeli military occupation. And as a leader of the non-violent resistance movement in the West Bank, his voice is of a kind rarely heard in Europe."

Qashoo is one of numerous young Palestinians whose life has been dramatically transformed by the occupation and Israeli military incursions of the last three years. Unable to finish his university education in Palestine, he became a journalist in order to tell the story of his people.

Qashoo’s footage and interviews have been used in many documentaries. Specifically, his work has featured on BBC, Reuters, Wartime Magazine, Nagam Magazine, Qalqilya TV, Radio Nagam, Nablus TV and Nablus Radio.

Through his work as journalist and co-ordinator of the ISM, Qashoo has worked to protest and expose the daily realities and hardships of the Palestinian people living along the newly built separation wall.

In April 2002 the Israeli government began building a wall separating the western side of the West Bank from the State of Israel . This wall is commonly referred to in Israeli communities as the security wall and Palestinians commonly refer to it as the Apartheid wall, in reference to the Afrikaans word for separation.

In Israel and much of the western world this wall has been reported as being built on the 1967 armistice or “green line” when in fact it is actually being built inside the West Bank.

Since last Spring Qashoo has documented how the construction of this wall has destroyed thousands of acres of Palestinian agricultural lands and annexed more land to the Israeli side of the wall. Qashoo’s reporting has also focused on how this wall has devastated many Palestinian communities.

Qashoo’s multimedia presentation reveals the growth of the wall, its effects on Palestinian communities, land confiscation and the prospects of peace negotiations.

If the Palestinians don't like the wall, there is certainly something they can do about it: Stop murdering Jews. Stop the driveby shootings, the bombings, the kidnappings, the house invasions and murders. Then we won't need the wall and we will be more than happy to take it down.

On the other hand, for the Palestinians to keep sending their suicide assassins across and then complain about losing farmland is pure chutspah. (cheek)

What book do you sugest him to read ? Maybe "The Protocols of Zion Elderd" (a very popular book in the arab world) ? or maybe it should be the best-seller of the arab world in the recent years (especially in palestinian-authority ) Mein-Kampf ?
Fact 1 : The PLO had been founded in 1963 (before 1967!)
Fact 2 : There is no differnece between the Mad-Left & the Neo-Nazi's when the question of the Jews-State is raised. I wonder why...

As for your assertion in Fact2 that the Left and the right are at one over Israel you are wrong. The left wish to see Israel return to its pre-1967 borders in compliance with UN resolutions, and the establishment of a fully independent Palestinian state, next door to an Israeli state.

The neo-/Nazis wish to see the extermination of all Jews worldwide.

The 2 positions could not be further apart.

BTW for a country which has made a vocation of non-compliance and obstructionism when it comes to UN resolutions, Ranan Gishin (Sharons spokesman) mentioned Lebanese/Syrian non-compliance with a UN resolution several timesfollowing yesterdays attack on northern Israel. Another case of one law for the rich (Israel).

Israel has Invaded and held in enslaving Occupation, Palestine and the Palestinians for over 36 years. All that is necessary to get the heroic Palestinian Freedom fighter suicide-bombers to stop there struggle for Freedom is - for Israel to Get Out of Palestine. If the Israelis were in my country - I only hope that I would have the courage to be one of the freedom fighter suicide bombers in the struggle to Free my country from the Israeli land theives.

The Israelis are saying "Stop trying to bomb and force us out of your country (Palestine) and then we will 'talk about ' how much of your land we will give you back." We all know that Israelis and Jews who support the Israeli government in it's theiving Occupation of Palestine are lying hypocrites - Hypocrites who wish to steal All of Palestine on the pretext of fighting the Palestinian Freedom fighters. Just get OUT of their country Israel and stop the Occupation bullshit. - Then no one will want to kill you Israelis for stealing their land.

Walls have played a makor part in political history, usually erected by over extended super state's or insular city states to save themselves from the 'barbarians', The Chiness wall, Athens, Troy, Haddrians Wall, the Berlin Wall, and now the Isreali wall (or whatever name history gives it)
The probl;em is, as always, the goverment the people take, both sides of the wall.
