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 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.

IRA admit murder of child

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Sunday June 26, 2005 00:43author by Saoirse in America Report this post to the editors

Insincere admission ends notorious piece of propaganda

Sinn Fein/IRA have admitted that it shot dead a teenage schoolgirl in Derry 32 years ago and blamed it on the British Army.
The admission puts to an end one of the most notorious pieces of Republican propaganda promoted over the past three decades - the the "Brits" murdered a "wee girl" on her way to the shops to buy milk for her mammy. The admission is the harbinger of Sinn Fein/IRA withdrawal from criminal behaviour, it is shoped.

Sinn Fein/IRA have admitted that it shot dead a teenage schoolgirl in Derry 32 years ago and blamed it on the British Army.
The admission puts to an end one of the most notorious pieces of Republican propaganda promoted over the past three decades - the the "Brits" murdered a "wee girl" on her way to the shops to buy milk for her mammy.

The terrorist group said yesterday said it was responsible for the death of 14-year-old Kathleen Feeney near her home in Northern Ireland. At the time of her murder, they had claimed that a British soldier had killed her.

The girl's death took place when an IRA terrorist opened fire on a British Army patrol in near her home on November 14, 1973.

The British Army said that the IRA was responsible and that none of its soldiers had returned fire. However, the Sinn Fein/IRA agitprop machine worked overtime to put about the story that the "Brits" murdered Kathleen, just like they claimed that Jean McConville was an informer for the British Army, and deserved to be murdered for this, rather than the fact that they couldn't stomach a monther's empathy for an injured British solider shot by terrorists.

Last year, the girl's family called on Sinn Fein/IRA to publicly acknowledge they had killed Kathleen. Commentators now say that the confession is the latest in a series of attempts paving the way for an announcement during the coming months that Sinn Fein/IRA will end criminal activity and concentrate on liberal-democratic politics only. However, the blood of Irish childrena and weapons will not be so easily dismissed in a country that forgets nothing and forgives less.

Ah yes, Barry - the resident RSF cheeleading freelance republican intellectual to rescue of the chuckee brigade again. The evening's entertainment is complete.

Barry, you're a fellow-traveller of terrorists. And I don't think you've ever quite got over those the Nazis losing the war either. Please, please, get some help.

.. the IRA:

Republicans, like Barry, those who inflicted most pain and grief, never shut up about their own victims and expect everyone else to move on. Well, as Sinn Fein/IRA drone on about Bloody Sunday and alleged collusion over Pat Finucane and Rosemary Nelson and so on and on, could we just remind them of a few events that occurred under the leadership of Adams and McGuinness?

There was Bloody Friday in 1972 (10 dead in Belfast), 1974 (21 dead in Birmingham), 1978 (12 dog-breeders burned to death at a dinner dance in Castlereagh), 1987 (11 dead in Enniskillen), 1990 (a catering worker, Patsy Gillespie, had his family kidnapped, was forced to become a 'human bomb' and was blown to bits along with five soldiers), 1992 (8 Protestant building workers dead in Teebane - an atrocity explained by Adams as "a horrific reminder of the failure of British policy in Ireland"), 1993 (11 dead in a Shankill Road fish shop), 1996 (two newsagents killed at Canary Wharf), 1997 (two community policemen shot dead).

I think 'Saoirse in America' should tend to her own backyard and worry about how many kids her president is killing and mutilating over in Iraq, and besides I do believe she has initially confused Kathleen Feeney, God rest her soul, with Julie Livingstone, 14, from west Belfast, who WAS killed with a plastic bullet to the head in 1981 fired by a brit soldier who was NEVER charged or prosecuted for her death.

barry,
How in gods name does any killing by another party justify killing an innocent child? Was this an 'officially sanctioned action'? Where these soldiers of Ireland on 'active duty'? Spare me the outrage at other killings. Murder is murder, regardless of who does it.
And before you ask, yes its murder if a guard kills an innocent child. As I said, murder is murder.
This just sums up the various parties in the north, they started it, no they did, no they did. Innocent is innocent regardless of religion.

Not if you're a Muslim. Then the US Army can torture and kill you with impunity. I believe they no longer call it murder. It has been redefined as fighting the "war against terror".

no, u didn't justify the killing! you didn't come to the realisation that the IRA as well as the british killer innocent and are both complete lying bastards all together as well.

we need a truth and reconciliation commission, it would put to rest all this bitching about murders and atrocities and the people on all sides involved in the killing could come clean about what they did or did'nt do. In South Africa you were immune from prosecution as long as you came clean about everything.
