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.

The Irish American Unity
Conference (IAUC) welcomes the Senate's unanimous passage
of resolution H. Con. Res. 20 calling for the United
Kingdom (UK) "to immediately establish a full, independent,

IAUC Welcomes Senate Resolution For Pat Finucane Inquiry

Washington, DC - March 20, 2007 - The Irish American Unity
Conference (IAUC) welcomes the Senate's unanimous passage
of resolution H. Con. Res. 20 calling for the United
Kingdom (UK) "to immediately establish a full, independent,
and public judicial inquiry into the murder of Northern
Ireland defense attorney Patrick Finucane, as recommended
by Judge Peter Cory as part of the Weston Park Agreement,
in order to move forward on the Northern Ireland peace
process."

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern (the Republic of Ireland's Prime
Minister) speaking last week in Washington at a luncheon
hosted by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and attended by
President Bush, expressed similar thoughts when he asked
the U.S. Government to "continue to walk with us on our
journey of peace in Ireland". He further asked those
present to please continue their "support in individual
cases - like the need for a full public inquiry into the
murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane - where your
determined voice gives hope and makes a real difference."

Pat Finucane, an Irish civil rights lawyer, was murdered 18
years ago. Strong evidence points to the murderers being
loyalists in collusion with the British government. Judge
Cory, a retired Canadian judge appointed by the UK, found
evidence to support that contention and he recommended a
full and independent inquiry into his death. However, no
such inquiry has been called. The recently passed
"Inquiries Act" would give control of an inquiry to the N.
Ireland Office (NIO). The NIO, the policing agencies and
the British military would be subjects of the inquiry.
Therefore, since the NIO would be controlling an inquiry
into itself, the inquiry would not be independent.

While the murder of Pat Finucane may seem a lifetime away,
this March 15th marked only the eighth (8th) anniversary of
the murder of another civil rights attorney in N. Ireland,
Rosemary Nelson. Her death was also strongly linked to
loyalist/police collusion. Police Ombudsman for the
Policing Service of N Ireland, Mrs. Nuala O'Loan only
recently released the results of her investigation that
found strong evidence of even more recent collusion between
loyalists and police.

The IAUC calls on Paula Dobriansky, the U.S. Special Envoy
to N. Ireland, to implore the British government to follow
the call of the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S.
Senate, Bertie Ahern, and Judy Cory to immediately start a
full, independent and public inquiry into the death of
Patrick Finucane.
