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.

Tony Blair: “Poisonous Propaganda”

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Saturday November 11, 2006 06:07author by peptide Report this post to the editors

Tony (45 mins) Blair, member of the coalition of willing criminals and terrified of the prospect of facing a war crimes tribunal, has today labelled the dissenting voice of opposition (justice) as “poisonous propaganda”. The world received this ridiculous statement with ample incredulity. We are all familiar with the politics of inversion and pathologically lying Prime Ministers (Blair and Howard) but this latest desperate statement from Blair even elicited a bray from the Whitehouse donkey, who is far too busy with his own problems to offer any assistance to his partner in crime. The three most notorious murderers of the 21st century, Bush, Blair and Howard are facing an extremely hazardous future!

Blair has engaged the services of Howard Dean- US Democrat to campaign on
Behalf of New Labour in the run up to the May Poll (Maypole).

http://www.politics.guardian.co.uk/labour/story/00,,194....html

and he had Bill Clinto clapping him on the back during the recent party conference,
in which the blairites discussed salubrious issues such as immigration and National
security. John Reid being the man who is ending Bulgarian and Romanian immigratation
in tandem with Irish Policy. Post 9/11 security consciousness by that government gives
us TDR and biometric ID's.

The policies by Blair and Mc Dowell (Bertie doesn't count) are remarkably similar.

Anybody see the coincidence (or link) between George W. Bush being trounced in Mid-term elections and Blair suddenly reminding us - through MI5, of course - that Britain is still under major 'threat' which may go on for years? Interestingly, a White House spokesman was conveniently able to quote Blair on TV last night, to make the case that 'the world' was still under 'terrorist' threat, ie, Bush was still the man to back. Blair backs his pal, is what I think.

London Observor:-[page 14]

"On Monday Evan Harris (lib Dem) told Jack Straw that no other democratic
country gave seats in their legislature to religious leaders" (!) as of right........
Straw responded by saying ," that the government's independent inquiry into
the lords recommended that Anglican Bishops remain in Parliament".

[Tony blair had asserted that the bishops remain, during the run up to
the 'restructuring' of the Lords. He said that they were 'untouchable'.]

Thus the rejoinder:- "if Anglican leaders are to be granted seats, then fairness
demands that unelected catholics, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Jewish, Hindu
and Muslim , zoroastarian and buddhist too....'

The article page 14- goes on to talk about boredom with democracy and
how dangerous it is to be bored with it- but its not really democracy anymore.

Sky news are covering this( and Cameron's inhalation/non-inhalation at
Public School). The Sky news Angle is that the % of Bishops attending at
lords has increased by 50% since Blair took office, add to that his
Religious Choices in (Reid and Kelly and Cherie Booth), makes quite a
mixture of influences.

The lords and Commons do not adequately represent the multi-culturism of the
British Populace.

The governments of the rich will continue to criminalise the
poor and the victim of their political policies as they are mandated
by the SUV driving voter.

John Reid has destroyed the prison infrastructure in UK and
criminalised people whilst hiding the shite that passed as foreign policy
by Mr Blair.
