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.

Stalking the Solitaire

category mayo | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Monday September 29, 2008 13:59author by Reyning Report this post to the editors

Shell to Sea Kayakers visit the Solitaire in Scotland

At the crack of dawn on Sunday morning two Shell to Sea Kayaks, the James Connelly and the Ken Saro Wiwa paid an audacious visit to the Solitaire currently lying 1.5 nautical miles off then banks of the Clyde, Scotland. The kayakers wanted to establish for definate whether the ship was returning to Ireland for a second attempt at laying the pipe or was to return to Rotterdam for repairs. Initially radio contact was made with the ship whose bridge crew refused to disclose its intentions. The activists attempted to board the Solitaire but were thwarted by security presence on the pontoon lying alongside the accommodation ladder. They then paddled around to the Stinger where they were only feet away from a high tension cable that was being winched onto a nearby barge. Work continued with complete disregard for the health & safety of the kayakers. The kayak crew continued to attempt communications with the ship's crew for over an hour in order to establish the next destination of the Solitaire but to no avail.
Meanwhile back in Mayo some equipment has been removed from the Glengad compound and the boats that were dredging the bay last Thursday have gone back to Ballyglass, an anchorage just around the headland. However the community in Mayo and its supporters remain on high alert for the possible return of the Solitaire this year.

Photos to follow.

Thanks from Erris to everyone who's been keeping an eye on the rustbucket over the past few weeks.

Looks like she's heading south, so take a break for a while.

We'll need you again before this is over.

Apologies for the poor quality, pictures were taken on a mobile inside a waterproof housing.
There was no sign of any pipes, and both the solitaire and the supply ship alongside were lying high in the water.

Did you notice any pipes on the barge? I was planning to have another look during the working week to see if they are still loading or unloading pipes.
