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.

Tim DeChristopher's Speech After Guilty Verdict for Climate Civil Disobedience
by Jamie Henn

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - On Thursday, a jury in Salt Lake City declared
climate activist Tim DeChristopher guilty for his interference with an
oil and gas auction held at the end of the Bush administration. He
faces a sentence of up to 10 years, to be determined by a judge:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/04/us/04leases.html?_r=1...rc=mv

The following is a transcript and video of Tim's speech outside of the
courthouse after the guilty verdict was handed down. Tim's words are
reminiscent of the heroes of other social movements that used civil
disobedience to achieve their ends. And they're a challenge to all of
us working to solve the climate crisis to consider our own willingness
to go to jail for our beliefs (in fact, a website, Climate Direct
Action, has been set up for people to sign up to learn more about how
to take part in civil disobedience for the climate
http://www.climatedirectaction.org/call/).

Here is Tim's speech:

What the world wanted to see was how you would react. And you have
reacted with joy and resolve. You've shown that your power will not be
intimidated by any power that they have, and that's the most important
thing that's happened here this week.

Because everything that happened inside that building tried to
convince me that I was alone and that I was weak. They tried to
convince me that I was like a little finger out there on my own that
could easily be broken. And all of you out here were the reminder for
all of us that I wasn't just a finger all alone in there, but that I
was connected to hand with many fingers that could be united together
as one fist, and that that fist could not be broken by the power that
they have in there.

That fist is not a symbol of violence. That fist is a symbol that we
will not be mislead into thinking that we are alone. We will not be
lied to and told that we are weak. We will not be divided and we will
not back down. That fist is a symbol that we are connected and that we
are powerful. It's a symbol that we hold true to our vision of a
healthy and just world and that we are building the self empowering
movement to make it happen. All those authorities in there wanted me
to think like a finger but are children are calling to us to think
like a fist.

And we know that now I'll have to go prison, we know that now that is
the reality. But that's just the job that I have to do. That's the
role that I face. Many before me have gone to jail for justice and if
we are going to achieve our vision many after me will have to join me
as well.

No one ever told us that this battle would be easy. No one ever told
us that we wouldn't have to make sacrifices. We knew that when we
started this fight.

Every wave on the ocean that has ever risen up and refused to lay back
down has been dashed on the shore, but it is the very purpose of a
wave to rise up, because once it rises up above the horizon it finally
has the perspective to see that it's not just a wave, that it's a part
of a mighty ocean. And the sharpest rock on the wildest shore can
never break that ocean apart, they can never wear that ocean down,
because it's the ocean that shapes the shore.

That's what we're starting to do here today. That's what we're
starting to do here this week. With wave after wave after wave
crashing against that shore, we shape it to our vision. Thank you all
for being a part of that.
