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.

US Navy’s most senior legal official, Dr Albert Moro, says the US administration is guilty of war crimes over the use of torture at Guantanamo Bay.
The current Irish government by extension is also guilty of war-crimes by facilitating CIA ‘rendition programmes’ and refusing to search CIA planes carrying people to torture sites.

US Navy’s most senior legal official – US guilty of warcrimes. Brother of Guantanamo prisoner on speaking tour of Ireland.

US Navy’s most senior legal official, Dr Albert Moro, says the US administration is guilty of war crimes over the use of torture at Guantanamo Bay.

Tthe current Irish government by extension is also guilty of war-crimes by facilitating CIA ‘rendition programmes’ and refusing to search CIA planes carrying people to torture sites.

Dr Moro is a staunch republican who supported the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was in the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 during the attack.

In an interview with BBC Newsnight programme on the 22 May 2006 Dr Moro said that “behaviour in Guantanamo Bay amounted to criminal activity on the part of our officials”.

He continued, “I was told by interrogators in Guantanamo Bay that these techniques had been authorised by higher officials. When I investigated I found a series of memoranda from the Secretary of State, Donald Rumsfeld, to Guantanamo Bay officials authorising severe interrogation techniques”.

“In some instances these techniques crossed over into torture”.

Dr Moro said, “This was a mistake but it was not inadvertent, it was officially sanctioned. In August 2002 the administration redefined torture to equal pain that would amount to major organ failure or even death”.

“Officials in the administration believed that the President had the authority to authorise torture. These officials, including the President are now open to charges of warcrimes.”

A brother of a current Guantanamo Bay prisoner, Omar Deghayes, is speaking at a national tour of meetings organised by the Irish Anti War Movement in the coming week. Omar has endured these ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ practiced by the US military. He was left completely blind in one eye.

The Irish Anti War Movement calls on the Irish government to uphold its obligations as a neutral state under the Hague Convention, under the UN Convention against Torture and under Irish legislation that incorporates the Convention against Torture. The government has accepted worthless assurances from the White House that Ireland has not been used for purposes of torture. This is the same government that lied to the world about WMD in Iraq.

Given the US record of lies about Iraq and torture the Irish government should immediately withdraw the use of Shannon airport from the US Military.

The tour details are:

Belfast Thursday 25th May 8pm Peter Froggit Centre, Queens University.

Dublin Friday 26th May 8pm in the ATGWU Hall, Middle Abbey St.

Tralee Saturday 27 May 3pm in the Grand Hotel, Tralee

Cork Sunday 28th May, 12pm in the Kino screening of the film The road to Guantanamo, followed at 3pm by meeting in An Spailpin Fanach.
