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.

Stardust website and petition launched

category international | crime and justice | news report author Monday March 13, 2006 10:55author by Malachy Steenson - Stardust Justiceauthor email malachysteenson at yahoo dot com Report this post to the editors

The Lawlor family have launch their campaing to have Eamon Butterly charge with the murder of 2 of the family in the Stardust Fire in 1981


The Lawlor family whose brother Francis and his wife Maureen were killed in the fire in the Stardust on Valentines night 1981 have launched a website to highlight their campaign. They have also launched a petition which can be accessed from thier web site.

The petition demands that the DPP charge Eamon Butterly the man identified in the report of the tribunal as being responsible for locking the exits with murder. The Lawlor family believes that the locking of the doors is the main cause of death.

They are asking that as many people as possible sign the petition, they are seeking one million signatures. The Petition is preasently on line and will in the near future be brought out in a manual form.

What relationship does this site have to the main campaign? It's a personal petition by the Lawlor family. And the site is very poor and not ready to go live, with lots of placeholder "texty, texty, text..", option2, option 3 from the design template, etc, and tons of absolute URLs pointing to C; drives, rather than relative ones.

It's a misrepresentation. Plus calling for a murder charge is ludicrous. At most manslaughter would be the charge....

As is clearly stated on the web site, it is still under construction. So nit picking in this regard is a bit of a nonsence. The Lawlor family are intitled to pursue their campaign in whatever way they see fit.

In relation to what you refer to a the main campaign members of the Lawlor family have been on the Maxol picket every night since it started showing their support. Have you?

We believe that Butterly is guilty of murder again nitpicking as to whether we describe it as murder or manslaughter is also a nonsense. Whether it is murder or manslaughter is we would suggest a matter for a jury to determine.

Whats your agenda Gay?

1) Unfortunately for you, the web has moved on well past this "under construction" bollocks being acceptable about 10 years ago.

"Users have always been intolerant of downtime and crashes. As one of my very first Web test users said, "if a site doesn't work, I may give it a second chance; if it still doesn't work, I am never going back." Users also felt that "under construction" signs were disrespectful of their time." (Nielsen)

It's unacceptable as a user experience - and don't give us any guff about it being acceptable to die of asyphixiation either. Fix it.
2) Get your text read by a lawyer before you prejudice any case against anyone with a plainly stupid demand.

Protest all you want outside - deal with the issues on your website.

Gay,

I should think you are either stupid, extremely insensitive or both. Who do you think you are to tell families who have suffered for 25years how to pursue justice and how to deal with their pain and grief?? It is totally up to individuals themselves to decide what is the best course of action. As the majority of sane people believe, its disgusting that these decent and genuine people have been abandoned over the years. I am sure words from you are nothing to people who will fight for what they believe in but I would just like to say that it is disgusting that you would be so cruel. And lastly the lawlor family have been outside at these pickets with representatives from the Stardust Committee. There should not be any difficulty with one family wanting to nail butterely for what he has done and also for the hurt he continues to do. If one way doesnt work then the other just might.

Gay you have not answered the question. Have you been outside on the picket line? Talk about nonsense! Your comments are the greatest nonsense of all. Support the petition.
