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

Anti-Zionist Israeli Susan Nathan, launches book

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Friday June 17, 2005 18:51author by Tom Lonergan - IPSCauthor email tomlon777 at eircom dot net Report this post to the editors

Susan Nathan will launch her new book "The Other Side of Israel: My journey across the Jewish-Arab divide" in the Irish Writers' Centre, 19 Parnell Square, Dublin, at 7.30 PM on Monday 20th June, under the auspices of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

In 2003, UK-born Susan Nathan moved from her comfortable home in Tel Aviv to Tamra, an Arab town in the northern part of Israel. Nathan had arrived in Israel four years earlier and had taught English and worked with various progressive social organizations. Her desire to help build a just and humane society in Israel took an unexpected turn, however, when she became aware of Israel’s neglected and often oppressed indigenous Arab population. Despite warnings from friends about the dangers she would encounter, Nathan settled in an apartment in Tamra, the only Jew among 25,000 Muslims. There she discovered a division between Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs as tangible as the concrete wall and razor-wire fences that surround the Palestinian towns of the West Bank and Gaza.

The land wasn't simply GIVEN away - there were numerous diplomatic initiatives taken between Britain, Ottoman, Jewish and Arab sides regarding the division of the land. If the Palestinians and Arabs had accepted the 1947 Partition Plan - instead of declaring war on Israel with the intention of destroying it and ethnically cleansing its Jewish population - there would have been no refugee crisis.

Plus, not all Israelis are "white supremacists" from Brooklyn - indeed, most Israelis are as brown - or sometimes even darker - than your beloved Palestinians. Jews are also indigenous to the Middle East, and to the Land of Israel.

This is not to say that Israel hasn't done some awful things, but trying to view the conflict in terms of "brown natives vs evil white colonialists" is wrong and dishonest.

1. Who is this God person anyway, and if (s)he exists would (s)he approve of what is being done in (her)his name?

2. Who are the Brits, Ottomans etc. to take land from its rightful brown owners and give it to a bunch of white supremacist rightwing nutcases from Brooklyn and elsewhere who want to ethnically cleanse it of its rightful brown inhabitants in order to set up a monothestic state?

Its interesting that this appears on the day of the gaza pullout.

As for quotes etc

there are many qutoes to show how Israel was never under threat in 1967 and wanted war.

As regards palestinians being fictious,

The Balfour Declaration you mention and the subsequent treaty should be seen in light of Balfours quotes that

"under no circumstance will the indigenous people of the area be consulted"

strange that he did want to consult with people that werent actaully there

quotes are like statistics, they can fit any purpose

Occupation of palestinian land is illegal and the world see this, the Gaza pullout is sad for the settlers but they dont belong there. How can a people justify their occupation of land based on the bible, if thats the case

god giveth and god taketh away

Sovereignty over Judea, Samaria, and Israel is disputed.
Israelis have a far better claim than so called "Palestinians"
Jews title is derived from: 1. God, as stated in the bible, 2. From Article 95 of the 1920 Treaty of Sevres, which is based on the Balfour Declaration as accepted by the WWI allies in the Conference of San Remo. This transferred sovereignty from the Ottoman Empire which had exercised undisputed sovereignty for several hundred years to the British in trust for a national homeland for the Jews, 3. By conquest in the defensive 1967 war started by the Egyptian blockade of Israeli shipping which is a casus belli and by Jordan's shelling. Under the Articles of the League of Nations, the conqueror has the right to exercise sovereignty over the conquered territory until a peace treaty is negotiated.

"Palestinians" is a ficticious people that was invented for political purposes in the 1960s according to Zahir Muhsein, a member of the PLO executive committee who said:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism.".

Most so called "Palestinians" are in fact immigrants from surrounding Arab states or first generation descendents
of them. Almost all "Palestinians" in the refugee camps have never lived in Israel. See Aryeh Avneri, "Claim of Dispossession"
Arabs now call Judea and Samaria the "West Bank" because wouldn't it look silly to say that the Jews are illegally occupying Judea.

Publishers Weekly wrote that she claims she had sex with an aunt's black servant in South Africa "to make a political statement". Most have sex to have an orgasm.

She became dissatisfied with her husband and left him, then she became dissatisfied with England and left it, then she became dissatisfied with Zionism and left it, and finally she became dissatisfied with her Jewish neighbors and left them to live in a little town in Northern Israel where she learned all about the injustices of the Israelis from her 25,000 Arab neighbors with no Jewish voice to create a little balance. Where did she get personal knowledge about all this discrimination and injustice? How long will it take before she becomes dissatisfied with the Arabs?

She's a flake.

"Murdering any chance of peace"

Obviously you think that the ZIonist occupation of Palestinian lands equates to peace. Can you add anything of substance to your own supposition? I bet you can't. I bet you are just showcasing your own offensive prejudices.

Other than that, you called ZIonists occupying Palestinian lands "innocent". Can you tell us why you consider Zionist occupiers of Palestinian lands to be innocent when thier very occupation of Palestinian lands prooves thier offense.

"That makes the Palestinians seem offensive to the brainwashed masses."

LOL!!! What's offensive about blowing up innocent women and children? Strapping bombs around your kid's waists and detonating the explosives by remote control?
What's offensive about murdering any chance of peace they've ever been confronted with?

Zionists and thier enablers like to claim that Arabs want to destroy "Israel." That makes the Palestinians seem offensive to the brainwashed masses.

But since outside of ZIonist occupied Palestinian lands, there is NO "Israel". Instead of saying Arabs want to drive Israel into the sea, why not say "Palestinians want to drive the ZIonist crusaders out of the Palestinian's homeland??? Oh, that makes it painfully clear that Palestinians "destroying Israel" would be a defensive action.

If Hebrews being murderous thieves of the land 3000 years ago really does give ZIonists thier alleged "birthright" of murderous theft of Palestinian lands, then lets hear it. Otherwise, scapegoating Palestinians just showcases your own prejudices.

And how does being a democracy give ZIonists a birthright of murderous theft of Palestinian lands. Is there ANYONE who can back up that supposition with ANYTHING of substance??? Come on, how could the ZIonist crusader's form of governance give them a birthright of murderous theft of ANYTHING? That is one of the most prejudiced suppositions ZIonists have come up with.

"creating a just and democratic society in the land of Palestine/Israel."

There already is a democracy in the region. Only one. Which the Arabs have been trying to destroy for 60 years.

The previous comment is obviously motivated by ignorance and fear, and suspect since the person impolitely refused to post his/her name.

If more of us here in Israel had the courage of Susan Nathen then we might have a chance of creating a just and democratic society in the land of Palestine/Israel. G-d help us all if we fail to reach out to each other. Susan Nathan is showing us the way. Bless her.

Ms. Nathan, has decided that life for her would be easier to collude with the people who want to see the country of Israel destroyed, and what shw has not come to terms with, is that they also want the removal of all Jews, her included. She is delusional, sick, and should not be considered as a legitimate voice of Israeli people. She represents what the Palestinanians would be considerd "collaborators" except in Israel, they do not shot them in the head or hand them in the city square. We just want them implode all by themselves. She will be loved by those who want to hear the message, and laughed at, or ignored by Jews who have a love of life.
