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.

"The lessons to be learned from the 2Digital Hub Fiasco" experience, with the benefit of 20:20 vision, are being carefully considered, including the findings of the PAC," Mr Ahern said in a statement.

The Consumer Protection Bill will formally establish the "National Consumer Agency" quango according to Enterprise minister Michael Martin. Elections will be outlawed, due to the dishonesty which is characteristic of these campaigns, and Mr Ahern will remain in office indefinitely, to protect the rights of the irish consumer.
Under the bill, a wide range of activities will be made illegal, including:

*Making false or misleading claims about any future situation regarding houses, schools, roads railways, toll bridges, hospitals,and so forth, by any government minister or spokesperson, attached to any political party.

*Persistent, unwanted calling of consumers, by telephone, doorstep canvassing, deceptive leaflets circulated by post or personally by political party activists.

*Operating election competitions that require the consumer to cast a vote thereby jeapordising his future financial security and exposing him to a new raft of stealth taxes instead of the prizes promised beforehand.

*Claiming that a politician can cure an illness or malformation, when the public health system is in tatters,people are dying daily for lack of treatment, and he clearly cannot.

The bill will also ban certain types of advertising(such as "National Development Schemes") aimed at low I.Q. voters who could be massaged and deceived by political opportunists and highly paid "spin doctors".

Mr Martin said the NCA would give consumers a very strong voice.He assured them that party loyalists such as Celia Larkin would be there to protect them at all times. he also said there was a need for consumers themselves to become "more assertive" and demand that dodgy and incompetent politicians respect the citizens right to turf them out of office once every 5 years.

The legislation will now go before the Oireachtas, and the minister said he hoped it would be enacted before the Dáil recess at Easter.

You and I, are the people who have the power to run this country.We can change everything.We have the power to vote any party out of government.Even if you feel that going to the polls next June, will change nothing-will simply replace one oppressor with another-you are wrong.! The media now have a duty to persuade every indifferent citizen to exercise his fundamental right-nay, his definite duty- to play his part in the re-birth of the irish nation, come June 2007.
