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.

I can understand Britain, Italy and Spain and other pro-war admininstrations agreeing
to this, but why on earth would the French and the Germans?

Or is it as i suspect an agreement to allow Americans free reign in Europe whilst still giving them the power to refuse tehir citizens extradition to Europe? Would Henry Kissenger for example be given immunity? Will there be "diplomatic immunity" to anybody in America with a bank balance in excess of 6 figures?

author by EU/USpublication date Wed Apr 09, 2003 18:01author address author phone Report this post to the editors

the EU is trying to build its own re pressive superstate for its own globalised interests.
So the Germans and French like repressive legislation that allows them to frame or fit up their citizens just as much as the USA does. It is all about the system and control MAN, they even knew this even back in the sixties!

Somone posted somthing worth being concerned about.Actually EUROPOL is being modelled on the Fucking Bunch of Idiots[FBI].so going by the FBI methods of solving hostage situations [see ruby ridge,waco,and white washing Abbylara] We should be worried.

author by Hugh odd bored ha, ha, I've got your jobpublication date Wed Apr 09, 2003 23:27author address author phone Report this post to the editors

lone gunman you should be worried because effectively your boss is now the CIA/FBI, not MI5/6/FRU/Special branch, youse will be all under control of American superiors. I can see bitter resentment swelling up within the ranks of MI5/6/special branch/FRU, who are a law unto themselves. Look what happened when Bill Lowry was booted out of the RUC. When english long streaks of piss like Colin crapporn, Derek Bulldog boulroot, can just waltz into Northern Ireland and get the top jobs, jobs which youse rank and file RUC have been striving to achieve for decades, all that experience and dedication flushed down the drain, with the arrival of English johnny come latelys. How must you feel?, being told you're years of dedication and service are not appreciated, that the old RUC was an embarrasment and a mistake, something to be ashamed of. If I was you I'd feel very disheartened and sad, maybe suicidal and psychotic. Hope this pushes you over the edge

Is it an accident that just when an important subject is being aired on indymedia a fruitcake such as "by Hugh odd bored" makes an off the wall coment or 2 and the discussion usually stops there. A person involved with indymedia told me this was a tactic used by labour party
assholes to wreck debates? It certainly seems to work most of the time.

You will see it is Trotskyites, especially of the Orthodox Socialist Party variety who disrupt debates with nonsense. Particularly when they cant answer a question.

Such as : Peter Haddens touting activities at an Anti War protest; Peter Hadden running around shutting up protestors who were booing the ICTU speaker who called for support for the troops; the SP attacks on Labour and SF for overseeing cutbacks, when in fact Militant implemented cutbacks in Liverpool Council.

Raise these issues and redherrings will shoal in.
