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.

Russian Authorities Target Press
Coverage of Anti-G8 Protests (1)

Police in Russia have targeted press coverage of the anti G8 protests.
Yesterday they arrested accredited Associated Press journalists for
covering a protest. They also attacked photographers, broke cameras and
arrested six Ukrainian activists for holding a press conference.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Despite weeks of human rights violations and mass arrests by the Russian
authorities, protesters have managed to take to the streets in small
groups and show resistance to the G8 summit this weekend in St Petersburg,
Russia. They are meeting serious repression and need international
solidarity.2

As the summit opened, demonstrations in the city were either outlawed,
stopped by the police or broken up by force. More that 200 people had
already been imprisoned before the summit, some accused of “terrorism”, to
prevent them taking part in possible demonstrations.3

Yesterday around 50 people were arrested. More than 30 people were
arrested at the blockade of a hotel on Nevskij Prospekt, used by
participants in the G8 summit. Police attacked and arrested journalists
before turning on the protesters. 12 activists were also arrested during
an anti-war picket, and 6 Belorussian activists were arrested and
physically abused by police for organising a press conference.

Those arrested include:
4 - from Britain
1 – from Netherlands
3 – from Germany
1 - from Poland
2 – from Ukraine
6 – from Belarus,
1 – from Moldova
12 – from Russia

They have given no access to legal or consular representation in police
stations, and were tried last night in a closed court. Anna Williams, a
British medic in St Petersburg said: “The human rights situation here is
dire. People are being badly beaten in jails and police have been denying
detainees food and water.”

Adam Jones of the G8 2006 Info and Press Group in Berlin said,
"Everywhere that the G8 meet, whether its in Genoa, Evian, Gleneagles or
Russia, it's always behind closed doors, in militarised zones. Those who
take to the streets with the message that "another world is possible" are
always faced with repression. They deserve our solidarity."
