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.

offsite link Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

Fair play after all this time for those keeping vigil at these important sites - you will be remembered as the ones who really cared and did whatever you could - still can. I see its been on the national and radio news broadcast by the reporter as confirming EU's concern and opposition to the matter - you would think that they would think twice now that the whole entire public knows that authority higher than the government are against it - still - it keeps going, and the henge is being ready to be dismantled. 'Recording' it for future reference just isnt goint to suffice - or any important historical site for that matter - thousands upon thousands of people especially children are now going to miss out on massive amounts of heritage and education because they won't be able to experience it for themselves - tarmac and road is hardly a replacement. But sure, its obvious most of Ireland doesnt give a rat's hole about it - it seems probably that greed, and brown envelopes in politician's back pockets have easily replaced this.

What role models are we as a society.

What sort of cajoling does it take to stir the many to stand along side The Few - seems to be your question?

To be honest it is when they realise that their families graves of 'the cherished newly dead' are as much at risk as are those of the ancient dead.

By then it will be too late!

Unless of course its the 16million Mr Ahern is splashing on his pet project up at Glasnevin,
funny that the ideals that modern Irish Egalitarians had fought for being used to further
a global agenda where a large section of ordinary irish people cannot make ends meet and
the rest, well with the tax breaks and lipo-suction you would wonder where they came from.
Bertie Ahern presided over the government which threatened our Irish multi-cultural heritage
whilst selling his ass to the US war Machine. I think we should be telling future generations of
Irish kids about the deeply amoral and irresponsible leadership of FF and the fat buddah ahern
who presided over it all.

Indeed, Ancient Observer, this was the very question I asked of the authorities more than a year ago, "How would you feel if your most recently deceased ancestors grave was plowed through". Recent or ancient, our ancestors graves are to be honored, not simply noted for posterities sake and then destroyed. By the way, I never received an answer to my question.
