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.

Fascist Europe takes shape

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Tuesday August 26, 2003 11:26author by James McKennaauthor email jimmymac61 at hotmail dot com Report this post to the editors

German police for Newry, Enniskillen and Dundalk

At a meeting in Sardinia, the German and Italian interior ministers arranged the new European border controls to be run by Germany, Italy and Spainish police.

In future all European borders , not just "external " ones, will come under the direct control of the German Police. They are the best prepared, we are told, after years of patrolling long border areas to the East, to co-ordinate all border control from now on.

The excuse being used to bring in such an unaccecptable situation is the Immigrant/asylum Seeker "problem". These "sub-Europeans" will be finger printed and even have retinal scans in future, just as soon as the agencies and facilities can be set up. It would be discrimination to target just immigrants/asylum seekers so we will all soon haave finger print and retinal scans on our driving licences and passports.

German efficiency will see the process move along very well, we are assured by the nameless European agency. Indeed the Germans have much experience at moving large numbers of "undesirables" to large holding camps! The final solution to the fake passport and ID infestation among immigrant ,assylum seekers and other groups to be specified from time to time , may be a tattoo or even a microchip implanted on the left forearm ?

The Italians have taken control of all airport security and the Spanish are taking control of all maratime security along with the Greeks.

These are not European agencies , open and accountable to all, they are committes set up at will by the powerful European countries . So much for a democratic Europe. We can have all the Qualified Voting Majorities we like, this is how thing are "done" in the Europe we and our parents helped create.

I once saw an Irish student shot in the legs in Heidleberg by German Police because he fled a phone box when confronted about using Irish 5p pieces instead of Deutchmarks to make a phne call home. So be careful when you cross the border from Cavan to Fermanagh or Monaghan to Armagh, between those two great European countries, the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain(and Northern Ireland) or you may find yourself explaining your defective identification to a German officer in the nearest "holding centre".

They really don't take any shit like, "Ah, the dog chewed that corner of my licence" or " I left it in my other jacket".
