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.

offsite link 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.

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.

Omagh District Council passes motion Condemning Arrests and Repression of Basque Youth

category tyrone | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Thursday March 04, 2010 22:25author by Irish Republican Youth - Ógra Shinn Féinauthor email osfnational at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

Sinn Féin councillor Marty McColgan has welcomed the passage of a motion at Omagh District Council which 'condemns the repressive measures by the Spanish state against Basque political youth organisation, Segi' and calls for 'an end to repressive measures against the pro independence movement in the Basque country.'

The Sinn Féin motion was inspired by West Tyrone Ógra Shinn Féin who has maintained strong fraternal links with the Basque Youth Movement, vigorously campaigning against the repression in the Basque Country and has hosted a number of Segi delegations in the local area in the recent past.

The motion came to the council a day after a Belfast court, acting on a European extradition warrant issued by the Spanish, ruled that Inaki de juana chaos who served 25 years in jail in the Basque country, including 63 days on Hunger Strike, should be extradited to the Basque country.

The Extradition warrant was based on a letter allegedly written by Inaki and read out at a rally in Donastia following his release. The alleged letter used the popular Basque expression "Aurrera boile" ("Kick the ball forward") The Spanish authorities claim this phrase constitutes a call for the continuation of armed struggle.

Inaki who moved to Ireland immediately upon his release denies any knowledge of the alleged letter and thus far the Spanish authorities have produced no evidence of such a letter.
Condemning the extradition of Inaki, and the repression of Basque Youth, Councillor Marty McColgan said:

"The ruling by a Belfast court is grossly inhumane and ignores evidence that the Spanish authorities are knowingly abusing the extradition process.”

"It is clear that many detainees and prisoners receive systematic abuses carried out by the Spanish and French states. Nothing suggests that Inaki will be any different given what has happened on many occasions in the past. These abuses have been documented by the UN's Committee on the Prevention of Torture as well as reports by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.”

"In November leading members of the pro independence movement unveiled proposals aimed at securing a peaceful, democratic resolution of the conflict in the Basque country however they didn't have to wait long for a response from the Spanish. Within days of the proposals being made public 34 young political activists were arrested and subsequently imprisoned in dawn raids throughout the Basque country.”

"Amongst the repressive measures in the Basque country are the banning of political parties and arrests of its members, civil and political rights such as freedom of speech, assembly and association are constantly under siege. In addition peaceful demonstrations are brutally attacked and there is a constant stream of testimonies emerging from the Basque country of torture of prisoners and political activists.”

"It was with this in mind that the motion came before the council on Tuesday night condemning such abuses against Basque citizens.”

"Indeed the people who are behind the banning of the pro independence parties are the same people who are asking the independence movement to express themselves politically, yet when they aim to contest elections they are deemed illegal.”

"Having met with representatives from the pro independence movement it is clear they are not found wanting when it comes to promoting a peaceful, democratic solution to the conflict; however this must be replicated by the Spanish and French if they are serious about resolving the conflict in the Basque country.”

"The right of the Basque people to national self determination must be recognised by the Spanish and French states. Only a solution based on an end to partition, the recognition of the Basque country as a seven provinces nation and the right to national self determination can solve the long and violent conflict.”
