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.

Death of Rosa Parks

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Wednesday October 26, 2005 01:08author by Anthony Report this post to the editors

Rosa Parks died at the age of 93 on October 24, 2005. It was 50 years ago that Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man aboard a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was arrested and convicted of violating the state’s segregation laws.

Her act of civil disobedience was the spark that lit the flames of the American civil rights movement - a long struggle for freedom which inspired others around the world to do the same - including our fellow countrymen north of the border.

Democracy Now covers her death by replaying a recording from the archives of an interview with the woman herself back in 1956 during the Montgomery Bus Boycott. (The audio is available for download on MP3 but the video is only available from a streaming Real Media server.)

Civil Rights Pioneer Rosa Parks Dies at 92
- By BREE FOWLER, Associated Press Writer
Monday, October 24, 2005


(10-24) 20:50 PDT DETROIT (AP) --

Rosa Parks, whose refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man sparked
the modern civil rights movement, died Monday evening. She was 92.

Mrs. Parks died at her home during the evening of natural causes, with
close friends by her side, said Gregory Reed, an attorney who
represented her for the past 15 years.

Mrs. Parks was 42 when she committed an act of defiance in 1955 that was
to change the course of American history and earn her the title "mother
of the civil rights movement."

[...]

Speaking in 1992, Mrs. Parks said history too often maintains "that my
feet were hurting and I didn't know why I refused to stand up when they
told me. But the real reason of my not standing up was I felt that I had
a right to be treated as any other passenger. We had endured that kind
of treatment for too long."

Rosa Parks confronted raw evil power: the racist power of the U.S.A. The Rossport Five have done a similar yoke: defying the combined power of government-and-industry. She was there in spirit on the Long March to Derry, and rest assured she and Michael Davitt are singing " We Shall Overcome" with the Rossport guys. So long, Rosa. Thanks much.

The USA is not rasist, it stands as a becon of freedom through out the world. Your just a pinko commie- a yellow-bellied liberal, peacenick, stuck-up, white, liberal, latte-drinking, brieir-eating, french-loving pinko communist, thats what you are.
