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.

Israel's peace conference.

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Wednesday December 22, 2004 13:23author by pi - bad movie ideas. Report this post to the editors

"now that I have your attention listen to what I have to say"

Barcelona's offer to host a peace conference in 2005 has been rejected by Ariel Sharon. This marks a rejection of the Sharon administration of centring peace efforts on the Barcelona process, which the EMP (The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership) is usually known by.
The EMP reflects the reality of Israel's geographical location as a state of the Mediterranean and one who trades with the EU.
It also reflects the reality of Israel's demographic origins, Isreal is a European nation, the vast majority of whom are descended from European jews. The dictatorship of Libya is not participating in the EMP.

Today Tony Blair on a visit to the region has proposed holding a conference in London in 2005.
This supports the joint US/UK strategy as announced at the Bush & Blair press conference which followed the death of Arafat at Percy hospital in Paris and his burial ceremony in Cairo.

For their part, the US adminstration through Colin Powell has signalled that it is keen to continue the work of the EMP and the good will of Europe.
The good will of Europe had previously built the airport, hospitals and farms of the occupied territories which were lost in the last years to the building of the wall, which the European court found to be illegal.

However the main source of military funding to the state of Israel is undoubtedly the USA.

Thus there are clearly two "outside interests" with different wishes and strategies.

Blair has reiterated the phrase that democracy must be established in both states. And I doubt that biometric ID cards will go down well amongst the orthodox.

"Mr Blair said: "I am not interested in just having a conference that just makes a point". There had been enough meetings and discussions on the situation in the Middle East. He stressed that ultimately it was down to Israel and Palestine to negotiate and find a solution to the problems in the region.

He [Blair] argued that "unless there is a genuine viable partner" built on democracy, a transparent economy, and measures in place to ensure security and give Israel confidence in its security "we are never going to get back into the roadmap".

*************************************************
As President Bush correctly said, when a young muslim and young jewish girl [of 19] are blown up together the future of both Palestine and Isreal are dying. He made that remark in reaction to a suicide bomb attack on a supermarket, the two girls looked so alike, that for a day the police thought the Israeli girl was a Palestinian.
Some thought the little boy of 14 who said "I don't want to blow up" and gave himself to the IDF was lucky, others thought a little angel had spoken in his ear and overcome the other instruction.

We can not accept Sharon's assertion that the Palestian people alone are to blame. For they are not.-

= you may come home now, please come home now.

Isreal under Sharon has rejected the invitation to a London conference by Rt. Hon. Tony Blair's Prime Minister of HMG, (and a fairly complex character if ever there was one)

"Speaking with the likely next Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas in the former compound of Yasser Arafat in Ramallah, the prime minister told reporters: "We have to get back to the point where the road map means something, and the conference is part of that."

The Israelis have already declined to take part in the London summit, although at a similar press conference with Mr Blair in Jerusalem today, Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, called it an "important initiative".

Mr Blair had behind the scenes talks with both Mr Sharon in the Israeli capital and later in Ramallah with Mr Abbas, where he also bowed his head in front of the grave of Arafat - although stopped short of the politically sensitive move of laying a wreath."

"Downing Street officials travelling with Mr Blair announced a guest list and title for the London summit, which - bereft of Israeli participation - will focus on the newly elected Palestinian Authority."

"The conference, now slipping from an originally mooted January to a possible date in early March, will see representation from the "quartet" of the US, Russia, the EU and UN, plus foreign ministers from Russia, Canada, South Africa, Egypt, Norway, Jordan and Tunisia, as well as representatives from the World Bank."

"It is thought that the US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice may also attend. The putative title for the conference is "The London Meeting On Strengthening the Palestinian Authority"".

We're all going to back to the road map.
and because its christmas now and not solstice here's that bit of Handel's messiah again-
which wasn't really by Handel coz he was a plagiarist and nasty type in many ways it's by Isaiah who was an unpopular writer with his own people, and got the title "prophet" afterwards.
Isaiah 40:1-3
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. . . .
very popular with the local amateur choir crew and keeps them out of mischeif indeed.
Now enough of the religion or we'll get spammed by the end of the world nutters who know nothing about pills drugs bellyaches and real life with condoms on.

Germany has agreed to sell Israel another two Dolphin-class submarines, They will join the three Dolphin –class submarines already operated by the Israeli navy, making Israel one of the premier maritime powers in the Arabian Sea.

[....]

Berlin has overcome its reluctance to the craft being fitted with nuclear cruise missiles, in the interests of a newly adopted more aggressive defense exports policy, and out of understanding that the EU’s attempts to halt Iran’s nuclear weapons program is unlikely to succeed.

[....]

Several countries have, or plan to have a powerful and permanent naval presence in the Arabian Sea. The US and British navies maintain a constant presence in the area, from its staging point at the British naval base of Diego Garcia, in the middle of the Arabian Sea.

I got my vaccinations but I missed the drugs. They were taboo for my IQ level.
Could you clarify what you mean please or at least get a proper educational qualification so i can judge you?
or a fixed adress so I can send you our explanatory literature on what we are doing to relieve the obvious and distressing problems of those in more need than us.
