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.

Ambassador Richard Ryan
Embassy of Ireland
Dr. Kuyperstraat 9
2514BA Den Haag
The Netherlands 16th September 2008

A chara,

Please consider this request as an urgent matter and please do what is in your power to intervene.

There was a candle light vigil tonight outside your embassy, in Den Haag. The Shell to Sea Campaign requests that a pipe laying ship, the Solitaire, leave Irish territorial waters, so that Maura Harrington , a frail 54 year old teacher and mother can end her 7 day hunger strike.

We are asking you to publicly call on Shell to remove the Solitaire from Irish waters without delay in order to secure Maura Harrington's health and to create "breathing space" at this tense moment. This ship owned by All Seas, which has a Dutch captain, has been contracted by Shell to lay underwater pipes. The ship's equipment, according to Shell, became damaged in heavy seas and the damage is being assessed while the ship stays in harbour.

Maura Harrington is refusing to end her hunger strike while the ship remains in the port of Killybegs in Co Donegal. It is widely believed that the ship will have to return to Rotterdam for repairs and the campaign requests that it immediately does this, as a humanitarian action, and communicates the departure in writing to Maura Harrington so that she can continue to live.

She has taken this courageous stand because Shell has no consent from the people of Erris to lay pipes in Broadhaven Bay. It is very clear to anyone who has visited Erris recently that Shell has never asked and does not have the consent of the local people for this pipeline. Local government planners have also advised against this pipeline going across the bogland and through an area of landslides. The local campaign against the pipeline wants the gas to be processed at sea.

It would be great if you would call on the Irish government to reopen talks with Shell to achieve a locally acceptable solution which would be of real benefit to the Irish state but that is not top priority really until Maura Harrington's action is ended.

Please use your voice, reputation, position and contacts to end this situation.

Yours sincerely
Amsterdam Shell to Sea Solidarity Campaign
