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.

The Church of England has shown that it doesn't care about evidence or ethics, says Prof Nigel Biggar. Why else, when presented with proof its ?100 million reparations giveaway is groundless, would it press on regardless?

Nightmare on Dame st

category dublin | eu | news report author Friday January 23, 2004 11:41author by IMG Report this post to the editors

A blast from the past. What happened when the EU gang were in town in 1996

Friday the 13th: Nightmare on Dame st

Before the recent European summit in Dublin the idea was floated that there should be some sort of public presence pointing out that European was being carried out in a way that excluded the bulk of the population of Europe and the rest of the world. This was never organised properly but on Fri. 13th November a few groups did turn up at the central bank. What happened next says a lot about what sort of Europe the elite are constructing

When the night arrived and Dame Street turned on the street lights the Irish Mexico Group plus other movements like the Cuba Support Group, Colombian Network, Scheme Workers Alliance, East Timor representatives and Senideak Gureak gathered at the Central Bank.

A few meters away, in Dublin Castle, all the big European heads were gathered to discuss all those things that don't let us sleep : the design of the Euro; European security (???); how to make sure the different members couldn't "overspend" in times of "minor" crises.

In the quiet, blockaded street we were ready to express our opposition and to explain to the few pedestrians about the consequences of the summit. Some banners and a stereo playing music spoke for us.

And it happens again : lots of fluorescent bodies started to approach us . Finally we got a complete line of aliens standing in front of us. The Special Branch was there as well insisting that we could not stop in the middle of the street. The demonstration turned into a policeman's ball and attracted everybody's attention : What are all these vans and gardai doing in front of some silent people peacefully holding some banners ?

Maybe this was the best way to let the European heads know that somebody is aware of the nightmare and trying to say something about it !

I think the point the poster was making was that little has changed.

Go and kick a few puppies and you'll feel better!

some bolshy ladies got on top of the Garden of Delight, which overlooked Dublin Castle, and unfurled a banner illustrated with Sieg Heiling cops and the legend: "EU 2000 Year Reich!"

it took the political police less than five minutes to completely panic, force entry to the building, scale to the roof and disperse the miscreants while snipers looked on......
