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.

Ingrid Betancourt is unwell

category international | environment | other press author Sunday April 06, 2008 19:45author by Archiver Report this post to the editors

some comments on the situation


President Sarkozy who in asking for the release of Ms Ingrid Betancourt from captivity
made a remark that shows his incredible lack of diplomacy and was probably why his
spouse led the march for her release in Paris today. He said that if she dies then FARC
will be 'responsible for the death of a woman'. Many government leaders are so responsible,
but to use the media to allow such a statement travel like a virus through our world
was badly judged and dangerous. Ms Betancourt has endured six years of separation from
her mother and her children and is unwell, being on hunger strike.

Everyone wants Ingrid freed.

The Sarkozy remarks are printed in the 'Weekend' section of the Irish Times and have been
diseminated , doubtless, around the globe. they are badlly chosen and do a disservice
to someone who has and is suffering greatly. its not a 'fashion' issue to make a derogatory
statement at a vulnerable time. It was misjudged, misguided and wrong.

The people who are attempting to talk to the rebels are abandoning the mission,

Geneva/France/Spain are involved in working together- unfortunately Sarkozy's self-publicising
gung-ho ego-trip shite is not helping anyone (and obviously thats why Spanish and
Swiss negotiators were brought in)

Ingrid is a private individual, who many will say has endured a tremendous amount
of suffering, Sarkozy did her a disservice and He should apologise to her family.

numerous coverages abound:-

The woman is not a pawn for the sarkozy interests in South America, the situation is
more complex than that, the guardian feed article discusses the political complications.

Your pseud is offensive, now if you seek a testosterone outlet and want to play with guns
that really is your biz- but you have been trolling other threads too and yer comment has nothing
to do with the report.

Sarkozy is to many a joke, he is not a diplomat.

The attempted negotiations that include geneva/spain and france are ongoing. for one
of the heads of such negotiations to victimise a woman of dignity and strength for his
own political end shows quite clearly what a prat he truly is.

Betancourt has endured six years of hostage life and someone squeezes Sarko's
breakfast juice and irons his goddam shirts, he should go to 'President school'
and learn to act in a statesman like manner.

a genuine prat!

Why condemn Mr. Sarkozy for speaking the truth? That poor lady is being held against her will by FARC terrorists. If anything happens to her, then her blood will be on FARS's hands. The French government should not negotiate with FARC and promise concessions.. Time to send in the Foreign Legion says I! No surrender to terrorists!

for those who wish to support Ingrid Betancourt and possibly do not accept the deeply
undiplomatic statements by Sarkozy (who is not known for his diplomacy in other hostage
situations)
