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

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.

Good Friday Resistance at Shannon

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday April 18, 2003 04:47author by Ciaron - Dublin Catholic Worker Report this post to the editors

4.45 - over an hour on the runway undetected at this point

4.45 a.m. Jenny and Martin have been on the runway at Shannon for over an hour without being detected.

** RESISTANCE IS FERTILE **


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 17, 2003

CONTACTS:
Ciaron: (087) 918 4552
Jenny Hannon (when released from custody) 087 261 9938


RESISTANCE CONTINUES, GOOD FRIDAY PEACE ACTIVISTS ENTER SHANNON AIRPORT
3am Libation completed at edge of runway in peace

Two members of the radical anti-war Catholic Worker Movement (see
www.catholicworker.org) were arrested inside Shannon Airport in the
early hours of Good Friday. Jenny Hannon of Dublin and Martin McGowan of
Sligo were detained by airport security and police after making their
way into the airfield.

They had constructed a shrine to the Iraqis slain in the recent U.S.
military assault, conducted the Catholic Office of the Dead and
planted a bed of potatoes. By 3.45am they were still airside, where they
continued their libation at the edge of the runway in peace.

Jenny Hannon stated,
"We come to Shannon Airport on Good Friday to recognise the ongoing
crucifixion of the people of Iraq. Our airports have been complicit in
the decade-long enforcement of genocidal sanctions, and now the past
month of intensified bombing in Iraqi towns and villages.

"By allowing refueling of U.S. military flights at Shannon, Ireland is
now co-operating with a huge armed robbery of Iraqi resources to be
plundered. The entire infrastructure of Iraqi society - deliberately destroyed by U.S./U.K. bombs in the Gulf Wars - faces privatisation by
U.S. corporations - water, roads, hospitals, etc.

"We remember the dead and dying, and plant potatoes as a symbol of new
life, returning the land occupied by Shannon Airport to a proper
relationship with a God of Life and Love." (see www.refuelingpeace.org)

Martin McGowan continued, "This is a continuation of the ploughshares prophesy unleashed at Shannon in February. The prophet Micah (Ch. 4:4) promises a vision of economic justice as the flipside to nonviolent disarmament - where "we shall sit under our vine and fig tree, next to our potato patch, in peace and unafraid. It is traditional in the west of Ireland to plant potatos on Good Friday. The spade is mightier than the sword!"

In early February five other members of the Catholic Worker Movement
were arrested after disarming a U.S. Navy warplane at Shannon Airport.
Karen Fallon will accept bail later today, joining the other four bailed
awaiting trial. (see www.ploughsharesireland.org)
