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.

Ward Churchill vs. Justin Barrett

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Friday February 04, 2005 16:39author by the censor Report this post to the editors

In case you haven't already heard, Ward Churchill has been attacked by the American national media, and others, for an essay he wrote on September 11th a few years ago. He's received threats to his job, as well as his to his life. Most recently, swastikas were painted on his truck while it sat outside his home. good site:
http://www.kersplebedeb.com/mystuff/s11/churchill.html
It raises central elements of censorship and free speech. He is also not the only American academic under attack by right wing groups.
For those that physically stop Justin Barrett from speaking, any thoughts?

Justin Barrett knew what he was doing when he was seen in the company of the far right in Europe. Barett knew when he brought a right wing racist book that he was encouraging racism. the scum stood in elections in 2004 on a racist platform.
when He opens his mouth people who are asylum seekers get attacked. So he has to face the consequences of his speech. It is a pity those who attended the esf in London had a article in their paper defending the right of Barret to speak. rather than supporting anti- racist activists, Never trust the liberals and their image of left politics.

you mustn't think much of the "working class" if every time Barrett opens his mouth they go out to attack someone

not fit to govern if that's the best they can manage

(though of course it's not, but long live vanguardism)

heil comrades!

I guess your trying to be clever but what is the comparison your trying to make here? Churchill isn't accused of going to Al Quaeda meetings or inspiring their actions. He is not accused of setting up Al Quaeda groups.

"when He opens his mouth people who are asylum seekers get attacked"

Really!! The power you bestow to this non-entity. He needs your attention as much as you need his existence. You'd be lost without each other.

Ward Chruchill called the vicitms of 9/11 "little Eichmanns".
He's on the public payroll. It's not a free speech issue, he's free to say anything he wants to! Taxpayers are also free to tell him it's not acceptable. He could always get a job with Al Jezeera, and say anything he wants to against the USA. He also claims to be an American Indian, although AIM (American Indian Movement) has debunked that...Churchill is just a wannabee

Churchill STOLE Indian heritage for his own profit and ego.

the largest Native American newspapers and AIM have denounced Churchill for stealing our identity to make a big salary at the University of Colorado.

That professorship was set aside for a Native person NOT SOME LYING WHITE GUY. His ancestor was actually an Indian killer.

For years a lot of white people have stolen from Native people, now Churchill has even stolen Indian indentity.

He makes $96,000 a years in a job that was supposed to be held by a Native person.

He lied on his resume to get the job he stole from a qualified Native teacher. I have no sympathy for him.

NATIVE JOBS FOR NATIVE PEOPLES...NOT FAKE WANNABEES.

Just another white guy ripping off Native people for fun and profit.

I don't care one way of the other what percentage of Churchills makeup is Indian. But I suspect the posters above are just right wing trolls as the American Indian Movement actually provided the security at the speech he gave last night, see http://www.infoshop.org/inews/article.php?story=20050208214150291

Anyone who defends this guy is out of their liberal minds. This guy's words/position/essay wrong and evil, and it is such ideals that bred the likes of Al Quaeda, Hitler, and Sadaam Hussein. Those who defend him (yes even from a freedom of speech perspective) ought to be shot. The same people who are defending his free speech (sad as it is) are the same who are trying to rid the public schools from religious discussion. What hypocracy... but i'd expect nothing more from the far left.

Ward Churchill, Native American activist and tenured professor, has been facing threats to his job and life after comments he made in an essay on the September 11 attacks in the U.S. have entered the mainstream media.

Churchill's essay:
http://www.kersplebedeb.com/mystuff/s11/churchill.html

Right-wing media outlets and politicians, as well as a few "liberals", have claimed that Churchill should lose his job. Several colleges were also forced to cancel speeches by Churchill.

Careful.
Next you'll be saying people like Noel, that support people who epouse Straussian ideology, should be shot. However nauseating his views are to you and me, Noel has a right to express them and defend the likes of Hitler, Saddam, Bush or whomever it maybe. The world is a far more interesting place with the likes Of Noel, Irving and Kevin Myers in it. I say nay to the thought police!
