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.

First they were 'Asian' grooming gangs, then 'Pakistani'. But the most important thing to grasp is that almost all of them ? 87% of convictions ? are Muslim, says Mark Durie. This must not be covered up.

Hariri's Game (part 5) all sides move to peace.

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Tuesday April 26, 2005 11:00author by non tali auxilio nec defensoribus istis tempus eget; - (as the potter said) - Report this post to the editors

peace = saleem = shalom = pax = justice = fraternity = liberty = search...

yesterday in the early morning the Syrian's completed their withdrawl from Lebanon.
the intelligence HQ is empty, swept and squeeky clean.
The installation at Riyyak was the last bastion they had, they quit the Beirut HQ much earlier in hariris game.

Here is a short guide to the events of the past and reactions and plans for the future-

they have now complied with the UN resolution passed all that time ago.

They have also left with dignity-

the last ceremony will be a bit of flag waving, a bit of back clapping and roll calling of their dead.
and will take place in the valley of Bekaa which is just over the border and where they moved all their uniformed and regular troops in an orderly way without incident in the last month.

a new brush sweeps clean.
the lebanese security chief who stayed on to manage the withdrawl from their perspective was a pro syrian, he has now resigned-
"Security chiefs are usually appointed with politics and change when it changes," Jamil al-Sayyed, head of the General Security, said in his resignation letter.

other reports from yesterday - "they burnt their documents, they swept the floor, they took down their little dishies, and they filled in some holes in the ground"

Hariri's game
part 1- "Mr lebanon dies" Feb 16. 2005
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=68645
the death of the billionaire opened a period of uncertainty.

part 2- "the lebanese goverment quits" aka "cedar revolution" Mar 1 2005.
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=68813
the arrival of US lebanese holiday maker protesters alarmed many, most lately Israelis who last week began to tell their cousins not to come meddling on their streets in issues they don't really understand.

part 3- "Hezbollah mobilises demo dwarfing previous gig." Mar 8 2005
as US commentators joked, the Lebanese found the democratic expression Bush was demanding, and it turned out they were all "fundementalists" -just like him.
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=68901

part 4- "all sides look for their allies" Mar 14 2005

The power brokers were - USA, EU, USSR.

Now the power brokers are -

Israel, France, Russia, EU, Bcn, USA

lots of family tiffs like the eurovision entry thing, the buzzing of the syrian's presidents house by the israeli airforce, the SAMs being sold to Damascus and very stage-managed top level discussion, Condolence Rice got fawned over in Paris, but still wherever she went people got killed, and as above so below, we all presume this goes for her soldiers too.
Russia came back to the table as a guarantor of syrian dignity, Israel got a bit of a wake-up call on the strength of popular feeling on the other side of its borders and the inablity of the US to stop it, and In Barcelona we announced the first Mediterranean Social Forum to discuss everything at social assembly, trade union, peace group, universities, and grass roots level which will be held June 16-18 2005,
and the EU in Luxembourg told everyone to revitalise the Barcelona doctrine of 1995 at its first mediterranean forum in which it got the economist and diplomats round the table.

http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=68964

the first mediterranean social forum :-
Saleem = Shalom = Pax = Peace = Justice.
the theme is "Peace Justice Fraternity"
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=69020
if you can be useful come along, but its not just a T-shirt gig, you have to be useful ;-) otherwise stay at home and pray to your god, be it materialist or not, ask it to be ethical and nice to babies.

now we wait and see, what happens, peace is about waiting.
