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.

Long Live M.O.X

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday July 02, 2002 23:14author by Sellafield Employee Report this post to the editors

BNFL and the German Utility E.ON have signed contracts covering the supply of MOX fuel and associated recycling services. A key element of the package of contracts is the commitment by E.ON to convert all of their separated plutonium arisings at Sellafield into MOX fuel in the Sellafield MOX Plant (SMP). This further contract for SMP will be the largest single MOX fuel contract for SMP to date and will utilise a significant proportion of the plant capacity over the coming years. Commenting on the agreement, BNFLs Chief Executive Norman Askew said "This new MOX contract is a major step forward for BNFL and E.ON, and confirms that there is a strong customer demand for MOX fuel from SMP. I am delighted that we have signed such an important contract with E.ON, who are one of our largest customers. " A Heads of Agreement was signed with E.ON last year for

A Sellafield Employee, here to tell us that MOX is great nuclear waste is fantastic and utterly safe. Why in fact Jasmine grows from one of the coolent towers and your children aren't more likely to suffer cancer.

Here to post articles from the Daily Mail telling us how splendid Sellafield is, how great MOX is and what a bunch of demented losers we all are.

When actually confronted with y'know pesky facts, you'll melt away into the darkness leaving only the glow of your pale glistening skin as an afterthought.

"It all boils down to a matter trust being lost between two companies... and BNFL have paid dearly for the actions of an inconsiderate few."

No your company falised safety checks, this isn't a relationship this is bleeding nuclear waste (I've always loved your "the doctoring of safety checks is no big deal) Do you service cars as a nixer on the side? Trust lost? You lied and when in comes to nuclear waste and girlfriends I can't deal with being involved with liars.

And we can't help noticing that your booming voice ignored this article?

Don't you have children? Don't you care for your co-workers children?

You're the inconsiderate ones and the dangerous ones.

How to do Mister Sellafield employee respond to tonights channel 4 news attack? Y'know the one where you've set up a company which will force the British Taxpayer to take care of BNFL Liablities? I.E. £42 billion?

And the way you've listed your assets as £12billion approx. £10 billion of which is dedicated to the the decommisioning of plants; or as channel 4 put it "Morgating our future". Of you've lied (again) and overvalued your assests by um £10 billion???? That being said with a half life of over 25,000 years it pales when you consider, what you do when you handle nuclear waste.

ARE YOU GOING TO ANSWER THESE FUCKING QUESTIONS YOU PIMPLY ASS BITCH OF THE NUCLEAR TRADE? Or are you going to bend over take it in the ass of big business and whore out your childrens future.

Now take your 40 pieces of silver and FUCK OFF.

I´m really sorry for any one who
has to rely on employers such as
BNFL for food and rent.

but I also find it unbelievable that
anyone can reconcile supporting the
continued production of one of the most
dangerous substances ever.

I can only consider this to be evil.

and stupid.
move from Cumbria.
get a life somewhere else.
raise your children somewhere else.
realise that BNFL have lied to you and your colleauges, the world, the English, Scottish, Manx, Irish and Welsh peoples.

Know that every government in northern Europe,
excepting HMG UK has formally called for the closure of this plant.

they don´t do that for fun.

there is no demand for MOX.
there is no demand for plutonium
there is no future in death.

does it not seem strange that it was named
after Pluto god of the dead?
