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.

Sharon to remove Gaza settlements

category international | miscellaneous | news report author Monday February 02, 2004 21:47author by Gargoyle - n/a Report this post to the editors

Ariel Sharon, once considered by Palestinians to be the most vile of the vile, has apparently decided to remove the Gaza settlements, in a move that stunned Likud party members.

Ariel Sharon, once considered by Palestinians to be the most vile of the vile, has apparently decided to remove the Gaza settlements, in a move that stunned Likud party members.

He called them a security hazard and said he could envision a time when there were no Jews in Gaza.

This is a stunning turnaround for the man who was probably once the most hated Jew in all the world by most Palestinians, which is saying quite a lot. What form or timetable the removal of the settements will take has yet to be discussed.

Whether Sharon will actually survive long enough to see his plan through to its fruition is another question mark. He narrowly survived a no confidence vote only because several party members walked out in disgust after the announcement was made.

Sharon apparently plans to present a formal version of the plan in a meeting with the Palestinian PM, then with Pres. GW Bush.

I am equally sceptical about Sharon's real intentions but if it does happen it is certainly a step in the right direction. Let's wait and see if the words get translated into action. I wonder how much arm twisting by the US was required to provoke this "change of heart" by Sharon? Perhaps it is payback time for "WMD evidence" provided by Israeli intelligence??

So Kokomero is now supporting the Sharon government? What's next? Will Avi vote for Labor? Will Arafat shave? The world makes no sense anymore....

Personally I doubt that Sharon is sincere, although I hope that I am wrong. It would certainly be far easier for him to end the occupation than it would be for a labor Prime Minister. In the words of Leonard Nimoy "Only Nixon can go to China"...

they are seeing reason. No wonder, with their economy in ruins, near mutiny within the military, and the obvious failure of their security-first strategy. Even Sharon couldn't ignore the facts indefinitely. Let's hope he lasts long enough in office to see the plan through to completion.

...propose a workable solution for Jerusalem.

- Arab neighbourhoods go to palestine (in return for compensatory land from israel).
- Jewish neighbourhoods go to Israel.
- Disputed religious sites are placed under international control.

The path to peace is easy and obvious. It only requires leaders who are not willing to exchange their children's entrails for land....

What should happen to Jerusalem?

author by David C.publication date Tue Feb 03, 2004 03:37author address author phone Report this post to the editors

First southern Lebanon (check),
Then Gaza (in progress),
Then the West Bank (*ALL* of it),
Then the Golan,
Then compensation for stolen land,

Then peace.
