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.

ALF Ireland Takes on Circus Abuse

category national | environment | press release author Wednesday June 16, 2004 12:53author by Press Office - Association of Hunt Saboteurs Report this post to the editors

No fun at the Circus

ALF Ireland take action against Tom Duffy's Circus by removing circus posters.

ALF Ireland take action against Circus

Start:

Over thirty billboards and directional signs belonging to
Tom Duffy's Circus were last night removed and destroyed by
the Irish cell of the Animal Liberation Front.

Duffy's Circus currently in Dublin travels Ireland with
Tigers and Crocodiles among their menagerie.

These wild animals are confined to beast wagons, tanks or
chains for over 23 hours a day. Wild animals deserve to
live out their lives freely in natural surroundings instead
of being dragged around the Country by Circuses with no
human talent.

ALF Ireland will continue to destroy advertising signs at
this and other venues until all circuses refrain from
forcing and training animals to perform for entertainment.

Till all are free. For Animal Liberation.

ALF Ireland - Always a match for animal abuse!!!!

If a circus was to give up its exotic animals the majority of them would have to be put down, as suitable environments would be difficult to secure for animals such as Siberian tigers and Crocodiles.
What reasonable alternatives to destruction could ALF provide for animals liberated from circuses?

Im not criticising ALF, just wondering what they (or anyone else) would suggest to do with the freed animals.

Tom Duffy's Circus sounds cool! Tigers and Crocodiles performing amazing stunts, jumping through burning tires and things like that. I saw once the Great Circus of Moscow performing. It was awesome! I have never been so amazed. They had bears, lions, monkeys, elephants and all kinds of exotic animals, even big funny talking parrot. How cool is that! Didnt matter that it only knew russian, i was still laughing thou i didnt understand what it was saying. It was so awesome! Hope i can go again someday.

You are plagarising my unique style of wrianting. Bugger off, c*nt.

That aside, I agree with your points-circus rocks, and it needs a special licence to keep those animals, according to EU guidelines. So the ALF are just pushing their own agenda again.

How does one spell 'plagiarising ' again?

have liberated mice, rats and rabbits from a laboratory in Moscow at the Lomonossov university.
This followed a month long campaign of harrassment, faxes, and so on, which haw sparked indignation from the university chairs of neurology, physiology and the Lab supervisor Anna Smirnova, who maintains the "liberated" animals will die outside the lab, and that the Lomonossov university has adhered to international ethical guidelines on the keeping of lab animals, whose purpose included amongst other things, the investigation of suspicious neurological processes associated with the type of people who allow explosives to be strapped to them and then blow themselves up for God.

Thank you very much ALF. You really are doing your bit for World Peace.
if the sarcasm dripped anymore it would clog my keyboard.

Aw come on! you dont really believe do you, that vivisecting rabbits in moscow is going to shed any light on the motivations for terrorism.
For Christ's sake man!

Anyway , Animal experiments notwithstanding -A new front in the war against terror ; ) have any would-be circus animal liberators got any suggestions as to what they're going to do with their Crocodiles and Tigers.
Like certain other 'Liberated', they may turn out to be a little difficult to manage and 'pacify'!

that they weren't vivisecting the bunnies,
they were showing them Chekhov plays and then gassing them to study their instinctive escape plans.
it transpires the most errant of the bunnies were Cherry Orchard fans.

Royal Society fears costs of animal "terrorism" will eat into research budgets
| By Pat Hagan



The high cost of protecting animal research facilities against acts of "terrorism" from extremist protestors could have a knock-on effect on research budgets, a leading scientific body has warned.

The Royal Society, Britain's national academy of science, fears budgets could be squeezed and researchers deterred from a career in animal research because of fears for their own safety, if action is not taken.
