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

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.

Kissinger update

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday December 16, 2002 12:17author by depp Report this post to the editors

"Fare Thee Ill, Kissinger Posted on December 13, 2002 @ 7:22PM Henry Kissinger has resigned from his post as the head of the 9/11 investigation commission. The problem, however, was not his shoddy track record of human rights violations, abuse of power, or clandestine warfare. He resigned because of his consulting firm. . Kissinger had been under pressure from families of 9/11 victims to reveal his client list to avoid any potential conflicts of interest. In his letter to Bush, he said, "It is clear that, although specific potential conflicts can be resolved in this manner, the controversy would quickly move to the consulting firm I have built and own. I have, therefore, concluded that I cannot accept the responsibility you proposed." The good news: Henry's history. Bad news: Poindexter and Abrams are still around " from www.alternet.org

Al. Gore has announced that he will not run against Bush in 2004.
He feels it will be a fairer fight if he his not the Democratic candidate.

Why place someone like Kissinger to head the 9-11 investigation in the first place? I'll tell you why: cos the current US administration doesn't want the truth to come out. They don't want a proper investigator finding out that they knew about the attacks beforehand. So they choose a corrupt scumbag like Kissinger to "investigate".

We are supposed to believe that the nation that put a man on the moon couldn't detect 4 plane hijackings in the same day, or scramble its fighter jets to intercept the planes. And yet, within hours, the faces of the 19 hijackers were plastered all over national TV.... yeah, whatever.

we are supposed to believe that the economy that put men on the moon could not detect four incoming hostile air borne craft within a one hour window on the morning of 11th September 2001, two heading for the World Trade Centre buildings the others heading for the White House.
We are supposed to believe that an indepčndent inquiry into that day will show why ....

The largest to date arms fair in London Sept 11 2001 saw sales disrupted by the destruction of telecom offices and stockbrokers in Manhatten.

The Catalan National holiday was disrupted by continuing feed of NYC.

The memories of Sept 11 Chile were subverted by Kissengerīs late involvment.

We are supposed not to wonder why global telecom systems fluctuated through out the whole day, [the only comparable day of fluctuation was the day JFK was assasinated]
We are supposed to wonder not why Bush was described as "being in the air" when one might wonder if Washington was under aerial attack would an underground bunker not be safer for the ecxecutive who one would presume naturally would raise defence status to DEFCON1.

We are supposed to remember the smell which lingered over NYC for days.
We are supposed to remember the suffering of NYC on Sept11 every time we see the Manhatten skyline in a movie.
We are supposed to think that a terrorist organisation founded by a Yemeni with only 300milllion$ could carry out such a spectacular and then conveniently reduce itīs global strike power to hitting hotels with symobilic names.

WE are supposed to accept that the PEntagon building lost its potamac side to a civilian aircraft that shrunk on impact.

We are supposed to accept that state milled anthrax was sent to a Democrat Party congressman by a misguided employee.

We are suppōsed to accept that Afghanistan suffered the vengeance it did to seek out Osama.

We are supposed to believe that OSama is sort of cute looking and has a limp.

We are supposed to believe that Marcus is a nice lad with reidiculous snese of humour who smokes a pipe.

We are supposed to believe that North American Democracy and all its power brokers accepted the Bush election results.

We are supposed to believe that Iraq and Iraq alone has the potential to troll the internet and learn how to make weapons of mass destruction.

WE are supposed to believe that making political pārties illegal becuase many of its representatives and supporters are implicated in murder before is in the interest of democracy.

WE are supposed to believe that anarchists in Italy can send explosives through the post past both Italian and Spanish xray machines.

We are supposed to believe that NASA / ESA account for every kilogram they launch into space.

We are supposed to believe it all.
every little bit.
even if itīs incredible.
every little bit.
The photograph on the front of Das Bild said it all 12th September 2001.
"the hijacker identified".. soem hours before American newsapapers had his face.

we are supposed to believe that British intelligence foiled every attept to distribute biological agents in London.
we are supposed to believe that THORP is not a target.
we are supposed to believe it all.
they put a man on the moon even though there was nothing to see.
we are supposed to believe it all.
so start believing.
life is much easier and your mortgage better value when you believe.
are you a believer?
