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.
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.
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
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. The Saker >>

West Bank : Bil'in Against the Israeli Annexation Wall

news report
 Saturday December 20, 2008 14:42 by TD - Free Palestine Campaign
Murderers! This is from Ahmad Mousa and Yousef Amira
Yesterday, in the relentless resistance against the construction of the Annexation Wall and the illegal Israeli colonising “settlements” of Kfar Rut, Shilta, Mattityahu, Makkabim, Hashmonaim, Lapid, Modi’in Illit (Qiryat Sefer) and Menora on the expropriated Palestinian lands of Bil’in and Saffa, villagers from Bil’in, their numbers augmented by Internationals and Israeli Anarchists Against the Wall marched, as they have done for the past four years after Friday prayers, in protest to the Wall.
 In tune with the Wildean observation that the sincerest form of solidarity is imitation, ŕ la the Iraqi journalist, Muntadhar al-Zaidi, shoes and boots were flung at the Wall and the safely out-of-reach Israeli Occupation Forces with one placard echoing the words he directed at Bush: “This is from the widows, the orphans and those you’ve killed in Palestine," another placard alluding to the recent IOF murders of two Palestinian youths from the nearby village of Nil’in stated: Murderers! This is from Ahmad Mousa and Yousef Amira – on 29th July 2008, after a demonstration against the Wall, whilst sitting under a tree, Ahmad was killed with a live bullet to the head http://stopthewall.org/latestnews/1701.shtml Next day following his funeral, Yousef was murdered with two rubber coated bullets again fired into the head by an IOF soldier only a few meters away http://stopthewall.org/latestnews/1703.shtml
Unfortunately, predictably, as is their wont the Israeli Occupation Forces enveloped the protestors at the front in a cloud of tear gas and wounded eight with so called rubber bullets - two of whom were journalists, one from Israel and the other, Issam Arrimawi, working for the Palestine News Agency, Wafa
All Israeli colonising settlements are illegal under international law. Yet, Israel's Supreme Court legalized the settlement of Mattiyahu East on Bil’in land, even though this settlement violated even Israeli law as it lacked an approved building permit. Moving the goal posts and attempting to shift the Apartheid Wall, on Sep 4th 2007, this court ruled that the Wall at Bil’in must be moved further west, returning 250 acres of farmland to Bil’in . On Dec 16th 2008, the same court ruled that the second proposed route of the Annexation Wall proposed by the Israeli military is illegal as it did not conform to the previous court ruling of Sep 2007. The Bil’iners,however, mindful of previous court decisions regarding stolen Palestinian land which were treated with contempt by the Israeli government reacted with extreme caution, adhering instead to the moral imperatives of the Court of Conscience, best summed up in the villagers letter to the IOF soldiers manning the Wall: "Had you come here as guests, we would show you the trees that our grandfathers planted here, and the vegetables that we grow... There will never be security for any of us until Israelis respect our rights to this land."

Jump To Comment: 1 2The IOF, in what can only be described as collective punishment for Bil'in's heroic opposition to the Wall and the colonising of its stolen land has subjected the village to almost nightly and daily incursions, this is a video of one of them.

Last Tuesday, over two hundred Palestinians, Israelis, Internationals (notably, activists from the International Solidarity Movement and Ecumenical Accompaniment Program in Palestine and Israel) and a Bishop assembled and celebrated Xmas at the Sheikh Jarrah Protest Tent in solidarity with the evicted al-Kurd family, flocking to Um Kamel al-Kurd's earlier cri de coeur: "Where are the conciousness, where are the hearts of the world? Why are they not defending us and helping us to return to our home?"
The protest camp was established by the Sheikh Jarrah Neighbourhood Committee following the violent eviction of the al-Kurd family on the 9th November initially to show support for the evicted family and the 500 other Palestinians who are under threat of eviction from the neighbourhood. It has been demolished three times already by Israeli authorities despite being situated on private Palestinian property. previous protest tent had been active throughout the Summer on the al-Kurd property, as widespread international condemnation of Israeli policy against the family and neighbourhood grew, including an official complaint from the US State Departmentccupied East Jerusalem. Abu Kamel al-Kurd was immediately rushed to hospital following the family's violent early morning eviction with high-blood pressure. He was re-admitted to hospital two weeks later where he died of a heart attack homeless. Widespread international condemnation of Israeli policy against the family and neighborhood has been displayed, including an official complaint from the US State Department.
