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 Marines to be punished for massacre

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Sunday May 28, 2006 14:47author by righteous pragmatist Report this post to the editors

Three commanders have been sacked and up to 12 soldiers could face the death penalty

The US military justice system is actively investigating a series of massacres in the wake of bombing on American patrol

Members of the patrol were killed by the bombing after which survivors proceeded to murder indiscriminately killing at least a dozen innocent men women and children.
The occupants of taxi were ordered out and shot to death.
A number of houses were raided during which a AK-47 was recovered (most Iraqi households have these weapons for personal protection). Grenades there thrown inside and occupants were shot in one case at least after being forced into a wardrobe. An elderly man in a wheel chair was one of the victims.
The patrol alleged that the dead were insurgents killed in a firefight or else victims of the bombing of the patrol - both have been utter discredited though initially military authorities refused to pay compensation to the taxi passengers who were labelled as insurgents.
Subsequent investigations have found otherwise and indeed the killing spree continued over the space of at least five hours.

In all armies and all police forces unfortunately certain individuals are attracted by the potential to abuse their powers - obviously there was a complete moral breakdown among these men and for that the must be severely punished.
The commanders who were relieved attempted to cover up the incident to save their own repretations and the repretation of their units - but in the process have brought disgrace on themselves and the Marine Corps.

The US military operates to the highest professional standards - murder and looting will be severely punished.
Operation Iraqi freedom has given millions of Iraqis there democratic rights and established a functioning democracy where formerly their was murderous dictatorship.
In the past when Iraqi soldiers murdered hundreds of thousands of Shias and Kurds they were given medals.
The US Army does not tolerate such activities by its own units.
