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

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.

Please do not comment this article, that way i can update it with new information as it breaks.

Firstly, the advance activists are not at the Quaker house- they have been moved on by police after trying to display a banner. Silent prayer only is going on in the house.

So far at least one of the Buses from Dublin has been diverted off the motorway by police, and is driving down the back roads near Lurgan.

The murderer is not now arriving in Aldergrove until 18.30hrs and taking helicopter to Hillsboro where Blair is waiting. Returning tomorrow around 14.30 to Aldergrove by helicopter.

The US Propaganda wing are hoping to get a photo of a "small gropu" of protestors for domestic consumption .

To this end they may attempt to allow a "small group" to walk by Hillsboro tomorrow as an apparent concession to protestors. It is a propaganda trick if they do. They should only get television pictures of a large group.

Police are due to begin sealing off the side roads that a number of protesters have already used to get into Hillsborough over the next few hours. The police prescence in the center of the town is relatively light- 6 or 7 armoured landrovers and 40 or so officers.

A picture in the Belfast Telegraph shows corrugated metal walls and the normal crowd barriers around the castle.

protesters stuck in Lisburn describe the situation as "boring"

Practise a form or equal worship.
Worshippers sit in a circle if possible and hold a period of silence before God.

This form of worship can be very moving and teh tendancy for the first members of "The Society of Friends" to start "quaking" with emotion gave the religious group it's name.

Not all meetings of the society of Freinds however are silent, and there is no "ban" on noise at such meetings, frequently a friend will recite a poem, psalm or even sing a hymn. It is at the other friends discretion whether or not they join in, and singing gradually peeters out at the third verse. If members of the group presistently make noise however they can be redirected by the "elders" of the community to desist from attending meetings.

People travelling on foot and singly are not being stopped. At least 15 people in the town itself, people starting to arrive at sprucefield roundabout.

30 - 40 protesters from the outside, plus locals in (really noisy) protest in centre of Hillsborough.

Some (15) trapped behind second police line.

Police blocking off the crossroads at the centre, cyclists still on the way.

Protesters inside Hillsborough staging a die-in on the road have been dragged off the street by riot police, who then pushed them the whole length of the hill. No serious injuries, no arrests, but much intimidation and threats.

Bikes not Bombs have made it into the town.

4 or 5 locals have staged a "support our troops" protest- supporting, that is, the bringing home of British forces from Iraq before they get killed by American airstrikes.

Also, Radio Ulster reports a Dubliner with the RIR in Basra killed in fighting.

People are making it into Hillsborough from the main demonstration in dribs and drabs. Phone 00353879471364 to find out how...

At the main demo itself, nothing much is happening. Chants, noise etc. One banner nabbed by the cops.

One man arrested for talking back to a riot cop. Protesters inside the town were moving away and being pushed when the man made a comment. He was wrestled to the ground, handcuffed and dragged away. The other protesters have not been able to get to the man to establish his identity.

With the exception of a few people staying on for a vigil- including the Catholic Workers, the main protest seems to be winding down at the moment.
