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.

it´s the AXIS of Evil show!

that means War = Peace Lies = truth 2002 -1984 = 18 for North Korea v. U.S.A. side show China v. U.S.A. oh don´t forget Iraq v. U.S.A. and ..........Osama v. U.S.A. The Superpower hyper power is feeling really really big.

today the White House has issued a big document on Weapons of Mass Destruction.

it doesn´t tell you how to make these things now.
oh no.
it tells you how bad these things are.
they´re very very bad.
and how the U.S.A. [incidently the only country who has used weapons of mass destruction in open warfare] will do everything it can to protect the U.S.A. it´s forces, it´s friends from these weapons.

in that order.

We as europeans are neighbours of many countries on the list of potential orgins of weapons of mass destruction. Well we are. sad to say, but there you go.

Now we are very far from yongbyong.
that´s in North Korea.
the people who were trying to ship their brand name houshold recognition (SCUD) missiles around this week. The North Koreans have been North Koreans since the U.S.A. fought a proxy war aginst the Chinese there back in the middle of the last century. It was all recorded accurately for a TV programe called MASH. Mr. Alan Adler played the part of slightly too big for his boots Supreme Commanded of Allied forces Generalissimo Mac Arthur who got told off for wanting to nuke [use weapons of mass destruction] on everyone who lived between Hong Kong and Tokyo. That was back in the days when Hong Kong was still British, it isn´t anymore, so it could be on the nuke list. The British got it incidently by selling smack to the locals and developing a weapon of mass destruction "the global hard drug trade". There´s not a mention of this in today´s White House document, they´re getting round to it.

Now some questions and answers [coz u like that format]
Q. Mr O´asif duty oracle jedi should we be scared of the North Koreans?
A. well maybe yes we should. They are very unstable and distrusted by everyone. They wouldn´t think twice about destabilising your democratically elected government becuase they are bad bad communists. They´re not the Irish 4th international type of communists so you could probably go on talking to the SP and Finghin, these North Koreans aren´t bolsheviks in the accepted meaning of the word.
Q. Are there any proven links between these North Koreans and the Yemenis?
A. oh yes. The N.K.s have been sending SCUD missiles to Yemen for self defence.
Q. are there any proven links between Yemen and the global terrorist umbrella organisation called Al Qeada?
A. oh yes. Osama was born in Yemen and has only recently had his citizenship revoked, his family are still resident there but are in London this week to sell their furniture.
Q. are there any links between Al Qaeda and Irak?
A. oh no they´re very different and wouldn´t even share a sweet coffee.
Q. but don´t all these mad bad people have an enemy in common?
A. you are confusing the issues there. stop it.
Q. but if Al Qaeda and Yemenis and Iraqis and North Koreans were all in cahoots what would that mean?
A. it might just mean that the U.S.A. really is facing quite incredible odds and global reach/capibility.
Q. is that why the vaccines for Smallpox and Anthrax?
A. oh yes.
Q. is this really really not very funny?
A. yes.


now the bit from the CNN/reuters/Min of Truth

JAPAN URGES CALM

Japan called for a calm response to North Korea's statement, saying Pyongyang appeared to be seeking a peaceful end to the spreading row over its nuclear program.

"If you read the North Korean announcement carefully, their consistent stance is to seek a peaceful resolution," Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi told reporters.

"We need to respond calmly, based on close cooperation with the United States and South Korea."

Early this year President Bush accused North Korea, Iraq and Iran of forming an "axis of evil" making weapons of mass destruction that could be obtained by terrorist groups.

North Korea's latest statement repeated Pyongyang's assertion that it was Washington which had broken the Agreed Framework.

"The U.S. cannot escape its responsibility for utterly trampling on the terms and spirit of the Agreed Framework by designating us as an "axis of evil" and target of pre-emptive nuclear attacks," the statement said.

doesn´t that make you feel better?

The `pain of Anthrax can be alleviated by tincture of geranium mixed with clove oil, make a poultice and apply over each sore.
Though death is almost unaviodable, this cheap and available herbal treatment can not be underestimated.

minding my own business picking my spuds. When all of a sudden the sky turned this eerie pink colour and all the beautiful yellow gorse bushes started to wither and die, the sea, that beautiful atlantic ocean where i swam of a balmy summer's evening began to glow a sickly green, while the spuds started rotting in my hands and the sheep on the hillside bagan to stumble and fall from their perches.
Oh Mary and be'jaysus I thought, maybe I should have had a go at assasinating that Bush character last time I was over visiting cousins Mick, Mary and Pat in county Washington. Or instead of staying at home I should have joined the revolution and died fightin like all the other good muckers !!!!???!!

I'm not sure what all that is trying to say, but what ever way you look at it, things are lookin pretty bleak.
