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.

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday April 14, 2003 22:33author by James Report this post to the editors

In case you werent aware: On March 16 2003, American civil protection volunteer Rachel Corrie was killed by an Israeli Army bulldozer while trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home at Rafah in the Gaza Strip. Rachel was the 22nd person to die in house demolitions in the Occupied Territories since February 2002. The IPSC is holding a vigil at the Israeli Embassy (Ballsbridge, Dublin) at 7pm on Wednesday 16th April to commemorate these innocent victims of the occupation. All welcome. Bring banners and flags. A paraqde will leave Central Bank Plaza at 6.15 to march to the vigil if you can make it. Also, the murderous Israeli "defence" forces shot another ISM member in the head a few days ago as he tried to rescue two children from these depraved psychos. What have the pro zionists to say now?? What possible justification is there for this????Bet we wont

First of all, take a look at the bloody calander before planning your demo/vigil. OK, MAYBE they will be in the building holding a "seder" there instead of all off being guests at the seders of Irish Jews (I believe there are at least a few Jews in Dublin). Having guests or being guests is part of the observance.

Or was that your intent? (to be doing your demo/vigil when you KNEW all that would be going on is a religious observance).

Yeah, I know, you're probably the sort who believes that the matzot are made with the blood of murdered children. And that the start of Pesach makes an appropriate time to protest.

passover - a holiday of liberation- is a very appropriate time to be speaking of murdered freedom fighters of all religons and nationalities. In the time that I spent in the West Bank I never noticed the Israeli military softening its operations out of respect for Muslim or Christian holidays and I would be very interrested to see what the Palestinian body count is during the 8 days of passover in light of the current rate of IDF assault.

It is very convenient to label all protest of Israel anti semetic and thus attempt to reduce issues of justice to ethnic and/or religous ones but it is you who is making this connection (at great disservice to the rest of us). I rather doubt the organizers of this demonstration realized the timing but if they did then it was a brilliant and poignant move.

I for one plan to follow their lead and raise the issue of freedom for Palestine at my own family seder. To do anything else during this holiday which commemorates the lifting of the great oppression of an entire people while Israel has its foot ever deeper into the throats of the Palestinians whould be hypocrisy of the most disgusting kind.

`thou shall not stand idly by'. this is the principle for which the murdered and maimed members of the International Solidaty Movement died for and it would do all of us good to learn a lesson from this - no better time than during Passover.
free Palestine!

I am not James and did not post this article. Strange as it may seem I am not in a minority of one when it comes to being critical of Israels policies.

Your attempt to discredit people posting articles critical of Israel is pathetic and will fail so don't waste your time. Spend it rather on trying to influence your government into making a just peace for you the Palestinians and your respective children.

By the way I welcome the initiative and vigil and will be attending. It is never too soon to stop murder, oppression and ethnic cleansing.

Explain to me and explain to the Israelis excatly how you managed to settle the "intertribal" conflict on your own little island. Explain to me how you manage to live at peace together with a "one state solution". Last time I checked you were STILL divided and it's been how many years now?

Sorry if that seems resentful but I can't help it. You folks should maybe figure out how to do it yourselves before being so ready to give others advice. Ethnic conflicts tend to be intractable.

We have a ceasefire since 1995 and an elected parliment in the North drawn from both sides. They still disagree for sure, but they use words now, not weapons. I think many in Israel and in Palestine would be delighted if they were in this position. So yes, I do believe we have something we can teach the world.
