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 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

Assembly. Please circulate.

September 20, 2002

Secretary General Kofi Annan
United Nations New York, NY

Dear Secretary General Annan,

George Bush will invade Iraq unless restrained by the
United Nations. Other international organizations--
including the European Union, the African Union, the
OAS, the Arab League, stalwart nations courageous enough
to speak out against superpower aggression,
international peace movements, political leadership, and
public opinion within the United States--must do their
part for peace. If the United Nations, above all, fails
to oppose a U.S. invasion of Iraq, it will forfeit its
honor, integrity and raison d'etre.

A military attack on Iraq is obviously criminal;
completely inconsistent with urgent needs of the Peoples
of the United Nations; unjustifiable on any legal or
moral ground; irrational in light of the known facts;
out of proportion to other existing threats of war and
violence; and a dangerous adventure risking continuing
conflict throughout the region and far beyond for years
to come. The most careful analysis must be made as to
why the world is subjected to such threats of violence
by its only superpower, which could so safely and
importantly lead us on the road to peace, and how the UN
can avoid the human tragedy of yet another major assault
on Iraq and the powerful stimulus for retaliatory
terrorism it would create.

1. President George Bush Came to Office Determined to
Attack Iraq and Change its Government.

George Bush is moving apace to make his war unstoppable
and soon. Having stated last Friday that he did not
believe Iraq would accept UN inspectors, he responded to
Iraq's prompt, unconditional acceptance by calling any
reliance on it a ``false hope'' and promising to attack
Iraq alone if the UN does not act. He is obsessed with
the desire to wage war against Iraq and install his
surrogates to govern Iraq by force. Days after the most
bellicose address ever made before the United
Nations--an unprecedented assault on the Charter of the
United Nations, the rule of law and the quest for
peace--the U.S. announced it was changing its stated
targets in Iraq over the past eleven years, from
retaliation for threats and attacks on U.S. aircraft
which were illegally invading Iraq's airspace on a daily
basis. How serious could those threats and attacks have
been if no U.S. aircraft was ever hit? Yet hundreds of
people were killed in Iraq by U.S. rockets and bombs,
and not just in the so called ``no fly zone,'' but in
Baghdad itself. Now the U.S. proclaims its intentions
to destroy major military facilities in Iraq in
preparation for its invasion, a clear promise of
aggression now. Every day there are threats and more
propaganda is unleashed to overcome resistance to George
Bush's rush to war. The acceleration will continue
until the tanks roll, unless nonviolent persuasion
prevails.

2. George Bush Is Leading the United States and Taking
the UN and All Nations Toward a Lawless World of Endless
Wars.

George Bush in his ``War on Terrorism'' has asserted his
right to attack any country, organization, or people
first, without warning in his sole discretion. He and
members of his administration have proclaimed the old
restraints that law sought to impose on aggression by
governments and repression of their people, no longer
consistent with national security. Terrorism is such a
danger, they say, that necessity compels the U.S. to
strike first to destroy the potential for terrorist acts
from abroad and to make arbitrary arrests, detentions,
interrogations, controls and treatment of people abroad
and within the U.S. Law has become the enemy of public
safety. ``Necessity is the argument of tyrants.''
``Necessity never makes a good bargain.''

Heinrich Himmler, who instructed the Nazi Gestapo
``Shoot first, ask questions later, and I will protect
you,'' is vindicated by George Bush. Like the Germany
described by Jorge Luis Borges in Deutsches Requiem,
George Bush has now ``proffered (the world) violence and
faith in the sword,'' as Nazi Germany did. And as
Borges wrote, it did not matter to faith in the sword
that Germany was defeated. ``What matters is that
violence ... now rules.'' Two generations of Germans
have rejected that faith. Their perseverance in the
pursuit of peace will earn the respect of succeeding
generations everywhere.

The Peoples of the United Nations are threatened with
the end of international law and protection for human
rights by George Bush's war on terrorism and
determination to invade Iraq.

Since George Bush proclaimed his ``war on terrorism,''
other countries have claimed the right to strike first.
India and Pakistan brought the earth and their own
people closer to nuclear conflict than at any time since
October 1962 as a direct consequence of claims by the
U.S. of the unrestricted right to pursue and kill
terrorists, or attack nations protecting them, based on
a unilateral decision without consulting the United
Nations, a trial, or revealing any clear factual basis
for claiming its targets are terrorists and confined to
them.

There is already a near epidemic of nations proclaiming
the right to attack other nations or intensify
violations of human rights of their own people on the
basis of George Bush's assertions of power in the war
against terrorism. Mary Robinson, in her quietly
courageous statements as her term as UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights ended, has spoken of the
``ripple effect'' U.S. claims of right to strike first
and suspend fundamental human rights protection is
having.

On September 11, 2002, Colombia, whose new
administration is strongly supported by the U.S.,
``claimed new authority to arrest suspects without
warrants and declare zones under military control,''
including ``[N]ew powers, which also make it easier to
wiretap phones and limit foreigners' access to conflict
zones... allow security agents to enter your house or
office without a warrant at any time of day because they
think you're suspicious.'' These additional threats to
human rights follow Post-September 11 ``emergency''
plans to set up a network of a million informants in a
nation of forty million. See, New York Times, September
12, 2002, p. A7.

3. The United States, Not Iraq, Is the Greatest Single
Threat to the Independence and Purpose of the United
Nations.

President Bush's claim that Iraq is a threat justifying
war is false. Eighty percent of Iraq's military
capacity was destroyed in 1991 according to the
Pentagon. Ninety percent of materials and equipment
required to manufacture weapons of mass destruction was
destroyed by UN inspectors during more than eight years
of inspections. Iraq was powerful, compared to most of
its neighbors, in 1990. Today it is weak. One infant
out of four born live in Iraq weighs less than 2 kilos,
promising short lives, illness and impaired development.
In 1989, fewer than one in twenty infants born live
weighed less than two kilos. Any threat to peace Iraq
might become is remote, far less than that of many other
nations and groups and cannot justify a violent assault.
An attack on Iraq will make attacks in retaliation
against the U.S. and governments which support its
actions far more probable for years to come.

George Bush proclaims Iraq a threat to the authority of
the United Nations while U.S.-coerced UN sanctions
continue to cause the death rate of the Iraqi people to
increase. Deaths caused by sanctions have been at
genocidal levels for twelve years. Iraq can only plead
helplessly for an end to this crime against its people.
The UN role in the sanctions against Iraq compromise and
stain the UN's integrity and honor. This makes it all
the more important for the UN now to resist this war.

Inspections were used as an excuse to continue sanctions
for eight years while thousands of Iraqi children and
elderly died each month. Iraq is the victim of criminal
sanctions that should have been lifted in 1991. For
every person killed by terrorist acts in the U.S. on
9/11, five hundred people have died in Iraq from
sanctions.

It is the U.S. that threatens not merely the authority
of the United Nations, but its independence, integrity
and hope for effectiveness. The U.S. pays UN dues if,
when and in the amount it chooses. It coerces votes of
members. It coerces choices of personnel on the
Secretariat. It rejoined UNESCO to gain temporary favor
after 18 years of opposition to its very purposes. It
places spies in UN inspection teams.

The U.S. has renounced treaties controlling nuclear
weapons and their proliferation, voted against the
protocol enabling enforcement of the Biological Weapons
Convention, rejected the treaty banning land mines,
endeavored to prevent its creation and since to cripple
the International Criminal Court, and frustrated the
Convention on the Child and the prohibition against
using children in war. The U.S. has opposed virtually
every other international effort to control and limit
war, protect the environment, reduce poverty and protect
health.

George Bush cites two invasions of other countries by
Iraq during the last 22 years. He ignores the many
scores of U.S. invasions and assaults on other
countries in Africa, Asia, and the Americas during the
last 220 years, and the permanent seizure of lands from
Native Americans and other nations--lands like Florida,
Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, and Puerto Rico,
among others, seized by force and threat.

In the same last 22 years the U.S. has invaded, or
assaulted Grenada, Nicaragua, Libya, Panama, Haiti,
Somalia, Sudan, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and others
directly, while supporting assaults and invasions
elsewhere in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

It is healthy to remember that the U.S. invaded and
occupied little Grenada in 1983 after a year of threats,
killing hundreds of civilians and destroying its small
mental hospital, where many patients died. In a
surprise attack on the sleeping and defenseless cities
of Tripoli and Benghazi in April 1986, the U.S. killed
hundreds of civilians and damaged four foreign
embassies. It launched 21 Tomahawk cruise missiles
against the El Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum in
August 1998, destroying the source of half the medicines
available to the people of Sudan. For years it has
armed forces in Uganda and southern Sudan fighting the
government of Sudan. The U.S. has bombed Iraq on
hundreds of occasions since the Gulf War, including this
week, killing hundreds of people without a casualty or
damage to an attacking plane.

4. Why Has George Bush Decided The U.S. Must Attack
Iraq Now?

There is no rational basis to believe Iraq is a threat
to the United States, or any other country. The reason
to attack Iraq must be found elsewhere.

As governor of Texas, George Bush presided over scores
of executions, more than any governor in the United
States since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976
(after a hiatus from 1967). He revealed the same zeal
he has shown for ``regime change'' for Iraq when he
oversaw the executions of minors, women, retarded
persons and aliens whose rights under the Vienna
Convention on Diplomatic Relations of notification of
their arrest to a foreign mission of their nationality
were violated. The Supreme Court of the U.S. held that
executions of a mentally retarded person constitute
cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the U.S.
Constitution. George Bush addresses the United Nations
with these same values and willfulness.

His motives may include to save a failing Presidency
which has converted a healthy economy and treasury
surplus into multi-trillion dollar losses; to fulfill
the dream, which will become a nightmare, of a new world
order to serve special interests in the U.S.; to settle
a family grudge against Iraq; to weaken the Arab nation,
one people at a time; to strike a Muslim nation to
weaken Islam; to protect Israel, or make its position
more dominant in the region; to secure control of Iraq's
oil to enrich U.S. interests, further dominate oil in
the region and control oil prices. Aggression against
Iraq for any of these purposes is criminal and a
violation of a great many international conventions and
laws including the General Assembly Resolution on the
Definition of Aggression of December 14, 1974.

Prior regime changes by the U.S. brought to power among
a long list of tyrants, such leaders as the Shah of
Iran, Mobutu in the Congo, Pinochet in Chile, all
replacing democratically elected heads of government.
5. A Rational Policy Intended to Reduce the Threat of
Weapons of Mass Destruction in The Middle East Must
Include Israel.

A UN or U.S. policy of selecting enemies of the U.S.
for attack is criminal and can only heighten hatred,
division, terrorism and lead to war. The U.S. gives
Israel far more aid per capita than the total per capita
income of sub Sahara Africans from all sources.
U.S.-coerced sanctions have reduced per capita income
for the people of Iraq by 75% since 1989. Per capita
income in Israel over the past decade has been
approximately 12 times the per capita income of
Palestinians.

Israel increased its decades-long attacks on the
Palestinian people, using George Bush's proclamation of
war on terrorism as an excuse, to indiscriminately
destroy cities and towns in the West Bank and Gaza and
seize more land in violation of international law and
repeated Security Council and General Assembly
resolutions.

Israel has a stockpile of hundreds of nuclear warheads
derived from the United States, sophisticated rockets
capable of accurate delivery at distances of several
thousand kilometers, and contracts with the U.S. for
joint development of more sophisticated rocketry and
other arms with the U.S.

Possession of weapons of mass destruction by a single
nation in a region with a history of hostility promotes
a race for proliferation and war. The UN must act to
reduce and eliminate all weapons of mass destruction,
not submit to demands to punish areas of evil and
enemies of the superpower that possesses the majority of
all such weapons and capacity for their delivery.

Israel has violated and ignored more UN Resolutions for
forty years than any other nation. It has done so with
impunity.

The violation of Security Council resolutions cannot be
the basis for a UN-approved assault on any nation, or
people, in a time of peace, or the absence of a threat
of imminent attack, but comparable efforts to enforce
Security Council resolutions must be made against all
nations who violate them.

6. The Choice Is War Or Peace.

The UN and the U.S. must seek peace, not war. An
attack on Iraq may open a Pandora's box that will
condemn the world to decades of spreading violence.
Peace is not only possible; it is essential, considering
the heights to which science and technology have raised
the human art of planetary and self-destruction.

If George Bush is permitted to attack Iraq with or
without the approval of the UN, he will become Public
Enemy Number One--and the UN itself worse than useless,
an accomplice in the wars it was created to end. The
Peoples of the World then will have to find some way to
begin again if they hope to end the scourge of war.

This is a defining moment for the United Nations. Will
it stand strong, independent and true to its Charter,
international law and the reasons for its being, or will
it submit to the coercion of a superpower leading us
toward a lawless world and condone war against the
cradle of civilization?

Do not let this happen.

Sincerely,

Ramsey Clark

American soldiers call for rumsfeld's demise


We Shall Be Not Forsaken

J.W. - "Murdering innocent people for evil bush and
rumsfeld to steal from ourselves, is a sacrifice in
cowardice, I for one, refuse to stand for as the living.
How about you?"

This following paper from LibertyForum is of interest.
Once again, through evaluation we all witness, CNN's
refusal to cover our political issues fairly, instead
siding to propagandize the American people to sacrifice
American soldiers as unrepresented, advocating further
crimes against humanity, as like bigot nazi sharon does
against the Jews of our world, and as bush and rumsfeld
did to Americans in New York City. Look, I've been
going on and on to American and Canadian Soldiers, the
FBI and CIA indirectly, the Secret Service personally,
Police officers, and also, in general terms, with a
little help from my friends, the people around our world
at more than 100 web sites for almost ten months
regarding the factual evidence, and the plea to destroy
bush and rumsfeld the traitors immediately as still
escaping unarrested, while the lifeless corporate cult
professionals refuse to report on our demands for
Justice. Again, I will tell you, nobody of the hundreds
at CBC, or CNN, including the CEO's of both, have
disagreed with the evidence that stands before ourselves
truthfully. They, have though sided, to censor our
voices as the public, leaving us alone, on hopes you
will find ever present doubt with what I am writing, and
further mislead ourselves as the people, to be robbed of
our freedoms, and denied our humanity for your sake.
CNN allows cheney to lie directly to all Americans, and
Walter Isaccson, like Sid Beddington of CNN management,
the true harborers of terrorist activity, refuse to use
the remaining time, to highlight cheney's direct
contempt for ALL the American people, with his
falsehoods, and misgivings, on the true nature of our
communication skills. CNN refuses to open discussions
on the facts regarding Iraq's threat to world peace, and
the bushmob's treasonous act of 9/11. The protests in
Washington site another good example. Corporate America
has refused to represent American interests by covering
the issue impartially. Instead, they ignore every
strong counter argument made, that would easily expose
bush for the super evil anti-Christ he truly is, as a
matter of measurable fact.

shown around the world as a marker of American
intellect, and the crowd off guard in agreement with
themselves chanted repeatedly, "bin Laden". Laden, a
