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

offsite link 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.

Does anyone know what is happening with the Corrib gas field. I saw a piece on it on channel 4 news that said we weren't getting royalties from it? Is this true?

How on earth can any rational human being describe the German fascists as innocent???

Brilliant analysis.

Hey. I got an idea. Maybe if you become even more dumb, people will pay you even more attention.

Though as it is, your terminal imbecility is in danger of becoming life threatening. I look forward to the day when you forget how to breathe.

How can one call some Germans in WW2 innocent? Easy. Doddle. Considering the overarching and implacable expertise in the subject you have demonstrated, you are presumably, acquainted with the German resistance? And the fact that it was active throughout the war. You are also acquainted, I presume, with the history of the many Germans who either hid, or aided the escape of those under threat of death? And the history of the fifth columninsts, dissidents, naysayers, pessimists. And those too plain scared to do anything.

But no. You're right. And I'm wromg. Every single German of the time was an ardent Nazi. And deserved to die. Probably should've hung Wodehouse while they were at it, eh?

Imbecile.

I really very sorry that a little harsh reality upset you so much, watch that blood pressure. The facts are that resistance to Hitler inside Germany was minimal. People such the Scholls and other members of the White Rose and people who helped Jewish fugitives were a very small minority. Protests against the murders of German people who were physically and/or mentally handicapped were also non-existence. After the nazi victories in Western Europe in 1940, he received a hero’s welcome in Berlin. The majority of Germans (of that generation) only began to have doubts after the tide of war began to go against the Nazis. Any person can express his/her opinion on for example, the bombing of Dresden but when one considers the “final solution”, the crimes of the nazis in the Soviet Union, when you start an aggressive war, then the consequences of such a decision must be obvious to almost anyone.
