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.

18 year old anti fascist skinhead murdered near Prague

category international | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday January 24, 2008 23:59author by Barry - 32 County Sovereignty Movement Report this post to the editors

18 year old Jan Cukera , anti fascist activist murdered while defending his freinds from Nazis

A young antifascist skinhead activist , Jan Kucera , has been brutally slain during a clash with a number of neo nazis in the small town of Pibram , just outside of Prague in the czech republic . Tensions between fascists and anti fascists have been high in that area since the successful mobilisation in November in which anti fascists and anarchists physically prevented neo nazis from staging a despicable rally in the centre of Pragues historic Jewish quarter to mark the anniversary of the nazis Kristalnacht pogrom against the jews of Germany during the 1930s .

RIP Jan .
RIP Jan .

Jan Kucera was stabbed last Friday after confronting a knife weilding fascist who had persued a group of his teenage freinds following a clash in a pub between young anti fascist skinheads and a group of fascists who had taunted them with nazi salutes and slogans ..

The attacker was an experienced martial artist with more then 10 years practise of musado, and stabbed Jan in the chest and back with a large military style knife , before fleeing the scene . Jan's distraught friends managed to stop the enormous bleeding from his chest untill the ambulance arrived , but then tragically discovered he had been stabbed in the back as well. Jan lost a lot of blood and even though he fought bravely for his life, he lost this final battle on Sunday.

His favourite song was "Till the end of my life I'd be anti-fascist!" by Slovak antif band Rozpor, and untill the tragic end of his young life thats what Jan was ., dying for his principles while defending his young teenage freinds from an experienced , aggressive stronger and armed enemy and refusing to be bullied by murdering fascist scum .
no compromise to nazi scum!

Rest in peace, Jan .

No pasaran .

A sad loss of an anti-stereotype skinhead. There's still an expectation that skinheads will be racist thugs.

Jan Kucera - Victim of Czech neo-nazis
http://www.antifa.cz/152-mzdomova-jan-kucera-another-vi....html

Neo-Nazi charged in fatal stabbing
20-year-old neo-Nazi has been charged in the murder last week of teenage anti-fascist activist in P?íbram, central Bohemia.

Local daily Príbramsky deník reported that the suspect, wearing a Wehrmacht army uniform, stabbed 18-year-old Jan Kucera on 18 January, one day before far-right groups planned a march in nearby Plzen. According to witnesses, Kucera was attacked after confronting a group of extremists after they gave the Nazi salute in a Príbram restaurant.

my own thoughts....
The issue of the far right in central and eastern europe is a complex one - but things are getting worse. here in Budapest an Ultra-Nationalist 'Magyar Garda' has been formed with 600 public and uniformed members and often march down the streets of downtown Budapest unopposed. Last week they marched in the 8th district to protest 'Gypsy Criminality.'

I worry that this story (above) could be repeated here in the future. Someday I will write a story about all the crazy shit happening in Hungary these days - but, to be frank, it is hard to know where to start in explaining all the madness.

I think Kucera's family message to anti-fascist activists is quite appropriate :
'The Honza family would like to appeal to everyone who feels anger and need of revenge on the neo-nazis, don't lower yourself to their subtle and primitive level of thinking and acting.'
[wording changed a little for better english and clarity]

Maybe this will shut up the "freedom of speech" elite in UCD who would love to give LePen a platform to spew his hate.
No platform for fascists!
