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

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.

LATET ANGUIS IN HERBA

Tony Blair and Jose Maria Aznar have enjoyed a private breakfast at 10 Downing Street London.

according to today's print edition of La Vanguardia.

Tony Blair is the Privy Lord Councilor of HMG of the UK and Northern Ireland.

Jose Maria is life president of the PP of España and ex prime minister of HMG of Spain.

Mr Aznar is very important, he must be, because he lives in important places, meets important people and had a book written about him. His daughter was married with great pomp and circumstance. His signature is to be seen on the end of many documents which he might have helped write.

He travels the world, regularly expressing the opinions which he shares with much of the rest of his party, and of course his own personal opinions. He most recently spent almost twelve hours articulating many of these in a commission to investigate the horror of M11. He excelled himself impressing many with his delivery, offending many others with his firmness and prejudice. We may presume that this mightbe atopic of conversation with Mr Blair. Mr Aznar has never enjoyed scandals of a more salicious type, and so we may presume that the recent problems besetting Mr Blunkett after his prolonged and obsessive harassment of a woman with considerably less "power" than he were made public.


Mr Aznar usually talks about terror, how to make lives better and improve the lot of his fellow men.
He has the support of many in the RC church who like most of religious persuasion and faith have found their convictions shaken by modernity and the end effects of social globalisation and the popularisation of American values and fears through their dominant entertainment industry.

He is thus to be expected to come across as a little bit arrogant to many, but this is really not what he is like at all. We remember him for many things, not least of all the photo taken in the Azores with President Bush and Mr Blair on the island of Terceira, 2300 miles west of Washington DC 900 miles east of Madrid, the territory of Portugal who's patron saint is George (who killed the dragon).

We must wait till tomorrow to read what La Vanguardia may report of this private breakfast, as today it's only available in "pdf" version, and your trusted correspondent has not the money to or means to purchase this page today. I will of course leave the link in the comments.

Without a doubt, Mr Aznar will have mentioned the return of terrorist tactics to Spain, (which he believes has never stopped being terrorised) and perhaps Mr Blair will have mentioned the Northern Ireland peace process, and the Reverend Ian Paisley's request that the photographic evidence held by members of the Finnish judiciary and diplomatic corp along with a Canadian ex-general will be made public to satisfy all that the political wing of the IRA may enter government according to the constitutional settlement voted upon by the peoples of Ireland and Northern Ireland some years ago.

Mr Paisley once held a sign up in the European parliament declaring that HH Pope John Paul 2 was the antichrist. That sign was ripped from his hand by deputy von Hapsburg, an austrian scion of the former ruling dynasty of one of the now defunct crowns of christendom. Mr Aznar wouldn't have approved of that action, and may have chuckled today with MrBlair over the attempts by the Hungarian state to extend citizenship to all hungarians who live within the former territories of that empire. Mr Aznar once shored up the British opposition to further European integration by seeking a stronger trans-Atlantic relationship with the USA and even went as far as to encourage Poland (where the pope was born) to enter the coalition of the willing to invade Babalon and give democracy to the Iraqis.

This is contrary to the Irish political interest.

We support the Pope, and Poland, and we enjoy a very special relationship with both Europe and the USA. We are a neutral country with a very special historic relationship with Britian (we helped build, design and maintain it's empire) with Spain (we have for many generations taught it english and turned a blind eye to it's teenagers shoplifting) and the USA (we helped build, design and maintain it).


Meanwhile I enjoyed breakfast this morning with my flatmates one of whom is studying a masters in integration of immigrants and works in a retirement home to pay the rent. Another works in a restaurant and is hoping to have saved enough by next year to be able to plan a masters course. We drank coffee which thanks to free ecomonics is cheaper than it used to be, and ate some sweet cakes which do not carry any declaration that the grains used do not contain GM material, or any indication of the pathogenic potential of the additives. We talked about what happens in our lives, our economic insecurity, our inate belief in the brotherhood and sorority of man and woman kind and our wish that peace will come.

Thanks to indymedia I can tell you about our breakfast for less than the price of a local phone call, because as you know there is a computer in every house, in 10 downing street, in Mr Aznar's house - everywhere except of course where the majority of people live in Africa, Asia and South America but don't worry they dont fear atomic energy, they know they can't change the times, and they rarely talk of euthanasia, and they consume very little Oil.

qui facit per alium facit per se: "non exercitus neque thesauri praesidia regni sunt verum amici."

Till I can get the link to the statements I would love to hear what fellow users of the internet ate for breakfast this morning. And here is a joint statement Mr Blair made with Mr Aznar when both of them were prime ministers to crowns of Christendom. It deals with achieving the Lisbon accord ( a city built on seven hills ) which promised people like you and I "the plebs" job security and freedom to offer our skills in the employment markets of the European Union with guarantees of social security et cetera...
