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.

Shocking Health Hazards and Environmental Impact of Wireless Communications

category galway | environment | press release author Tuesday May 03, 2011 18:51author by Des Doherty Report this post to the editors

Talks taking place in County Galway on the health and environmental effects of mobile phone masts, and what to do about it, with two renowned experts.

‘It’s shocking, that people are not aware of the consequences of microwave radiation.’
John Ryan, Tipperary farmer

Ryan, his family and farm animals all suffered various effects from microwaves which ended when he successfully had a mast removed from his land.

These are the details of the talks taking place in County Galway, May 2011:

Shocking Health Hazards & Impact of Wireless Communications

Venue: Ballymacward Community Hall

Day 1
Saturday 7th May, 7:30 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Presenters: Paul Doyon and the Alliance for Irish Radiation Protection.
This first talk will cover the fundamentals, a local action plan for reduction of mobile phone mast signals, and a Q/A session.

Day 2
Sunday 8th May 7 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Presenter: Paul Doyon .goes into greater depth on the science of health and environmental effects.
Paul will also share his personal story and experiences, with use of fascinating visuals.

Topics

• Weak regulation status of wireless radiation in Ireland
• Widespread environmental effects, including bees, frogs, birds and farm animals
• Documented health effects on humans, including DNA damage, cancer, autism, ADHD, chronic fatigue, depression
and epilepsy. Intensified health damage to children and babies.
• Precise pragmatic action plan for Woodlawn and neighbouring communities: campaign for the signal to be turned down
on local masts, by as much as ten times, without loss of benefit for users yet with ten-fold less health and environmental
effects.
A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME opportunity to learn first-hand the most up-to-date science and practical tips to protect yourself.

The Speakers

Paul Doyon, B.A., B.A.T., is a leading international expert on electrostress. He publishes a newslist, EMR
Updates, which is widely read and respected by scientists and enthusiasts around the globe. Paul has been
researching the health and environmental effects of electromagnetic radiation for the past six years. Paul
has just fled Japan following the recent nuclear plant disaster at Fukushima and is visiting friends in
Woodlawn, Co. Galway.

Alliance for Irish Radiation Protection: John Weigel is a writer / researcher and key national figure in
the campaign to raise awareness of the hazards of wireless technology. Based in Dublin, he is a member of
the Alliance, a confederation of groups around the country that are pressing for the establishment of human
and animal safety standards. Activist and mother-of-five, Pauline Keeley has been a long-time advisor to
communities around the country in their struggle for a safe environment.

We all know someone with one of these conditions and owe it to them to learn more and prevent further suffering

On a related matter the Tetra system which is slightly different than the standard mobile radio system is used by the police force in the UK and it has now been adopted by the Garda in Ireland.

As soon as the system went in there were significant health problems both in the local communities and reported amongst the police in the UK, although the latter were eventually silenced

There was a great article on the whole background to this in The Ecologist magazine back in 2004 titled 'A Popular Revolt' and the article itself can be downloaded from here: http://www.tetrawatch.net/papers/ecologist170904.pdf

There is now a group called TetraWatch based in UK and their website is given below. It is likely that those affected by phone masts may want to read up on some of this material

TETRA stands for ‘Terrestrial Trunked Radio’. It is the new police radio system, operated by O2 under the brand name Airwave. It is also used by fire and ambulance in some places (in the UK)
