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.

Day of Indiginous Peoples & Hispanic disunity

category international | history and heritage | other press author Friday October 12, 2007 13:43author by checking your fingernails regularly - before you pick the snotty nose ¿¡ññññññññ!? Report this post to the editors

¿ñ?

Yippee, it's the 12th of the tenth month again. This is the day that all over the world people get a day off work if they've got that sort of job so they may reflect what being Hispanic is about & how jolly good Colombus was for being credited with discovering India.
It offers a wide range of people from South Americans to Basques & Catalans to demonstrate that they are not in any way Hispanic & have no commonwealth with Spain or her democracy & then get arrested for it. Whilst on the other side of the wondrous spectrum of humanity it offers people a chance to look at the army in Madrid & the annual hissing of Zapatero in the minute of silence...........something for everyone........
in Mississippi did Kublah Khañ a stately Babel build

It is very curious that a man who is hotly claimed by several nations as their own, is credited with discovering a continent he did not & introducing to it a language which wasn't his & all on the basis of losing two out of three ships, faking a log & bringing nothing much back other than parrots & coldsores. Really very odd.........blame the church for that one you can't blame the masons coz they weren't invented yet and you can't blame the jews coz they'd just been expelled and were living peacefully in exile with the muslims of the barbary coast.

So a brief reminder of what happens across the world as they react to the glue which unites the second most widespread language on the planet. For indeed as of this year the tongue of "ñ" has usurped the tongue of "w" & so one can now put "ñ" in internet addresses if that makes one money. & despite the most spoken, written & widespread languages having no "W" (double u) they still have to put 3 of them in every address.

* Venezuela has the Día de la Resistencia Indígena (Spanish for "Day of Indigenous Resistance") in Venezuela. They renamed it from the previous "day of the race" for the 2002 celebrations - obviously Hugo worked up to that one & waited till he was ready.

* The people of Argentina are still waiting for decree 7112 passed on the 4th of October 1917 declaringOct12 as their "national hollier" to be revoked. Obviously they're not too prioritised about it because they've managed to get through several constitutions and a few dictatorships since. Or perhaps they just like having a hollier. You might not believe nor even trust the mighty sun God but you still like Xmas prezzies & chocky eggs. I'm adopting a simplified tone, baiting sceptic or suchlike. Of all the supposed "hispanic" peoples they have done the most to change the language.

* Today the Queen of Engurland took time off of fretting about the Diana inquest & wrote a letter to the King of Spain wishing prosperity to all the Spaniards on this their day of national disunity. She hasn't done that before on account of Gibraltar. Oh they nurse a grudge those types. & just in case you don't believe me Gibraltar has just celebrated an election & Mr Caruana has won again. http://www.elpais.com/articulo/espana/socialdemocrata/P...2/Tes
You can compare the development of democratic stuff at "el peñon" by reading an archived article on "how the Gibraltar lot voted & not voted" which somehow got mixed up with an Ulster election celebrated on the same day. Funny that. Those people nurse a grudge too.

* Basques endure their annual Falange march with an anti-fascist gig & march by the ANV bunch under the banner "independence for Euskal Herria". Here's a link to Basque telly with an english language report it notes a trade union commented "today is not a holiday" - that was the LAB union for the joseba experts amongst you. http://www.eitb24.com/new/en/B24_70348/politics/MARCHES...t-in/

* Catalans have mostly accepted the day of work & the schools are closed & they'd have you believe every katalander fit to hold a zippo has gone to the inland city of Lleida which is within spitting distance of the hated Spain to burn photos. You might like to go to http://barcelona.indymedia.org/?category=cultures today & see how seriously people take their non-day. Of course some argue Columbus was Catalan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_theories_of_Christo...umbus

& naturally we Irish got there first.............or did we come from there?
& the vikings. & the chinese. & well the people who were there must have got there somehow - no & is it very odd how much they seemed to have in common with others?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Columbian_trans-oceani...ntact

So at end this is not a day of resistance or even hispanic identity- it is a day of faked & forged history. Truly the stuff of Kings & Queens - it is the day of those who say they own history & they've the war trophies & clipped moustachio'd hanger-ons to prove it.

The Catalans burnt pictures of the Bourbon King who invaded them in 1707.

The Falange had their rally & mosh up ruck in the Basque.

The "españa2000" skins burnt pictures of the Lehandakari and leader of the Catalan Republicans in Valencia.

The LAB Basque union who told everyone it wasn't a holiday took time off work and marched to call for independence & no holiday.

The ANV assembled in both Donastai / San Sebastian in the Basque and Iruña / Pamplona in Navarra. Curiously the "ñ" is in the Basque name, for Euskera is the only other language in the world which uses it. They confirmed they're going to punt the General Elections in both the Basque & Navarra as the party of a secular, republican & socialist independent Euskal Herria. & as everyone might have noticed there is now absolutely nothing left to stop them doing that.

The PP issued a declaration which most sensible people described as para-fascist urging all people to fly the Spanish flag "which unites everyone & symbolises our union our institutions" union - union - union...

The PSOE in the form of Zapatero were as expected hissed & booed in Madrid.

There was a riot as expected in San Sebastian.

There were lots of articles on "ñ" & why hispanics aren't unified by anything. (call them spics & see how quickly they unifiy)

Gibraltar had a great day & with bunting on the streets & cheap ale a plenty the plucky brits of the rock toasted their guvner Peter Caruana on winning another term as their Queen's longest serving prime minister who still hasn't gone as curly round the edges as the Ozzie Howard.

cool little logo - the star of david & a trippy swastika. The Basques invented both of them you know.
