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.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

"Yes, we have a Coptic problem and we have a problem with the Islamists in Egypt" The Coptic democratic party official said: "yes, we too do not see the Copts as a minority. We are 12 millions, that is three times the size of the entire Palestinian people. And yes, the Copts are no only a part of the country's social fabric but they are the descendants of the native Egyptians, while those dominating Egypt today are the descendants of colonial settlers coming from Arabia. And if a large number of present day Muslims had Coptic ancestors who converted to Islam, it is because of Jihad and forced conversion." read full story / add a comment

Jewish and Arab schoolchildren, residents of western and eastern Jerusalem who normally wouldn't have anything to do with each other, are afforded an opportunity to meet on neutral ground in a program initiated and developed by the Bible Lands Museum of Jerusalem. The young participants in "The Image of Abraham" are able to utilize the museum's rich educational resources to focus on the role of Abraham as Patriarch and trace the common elements in Arab and Jewish heritage, the bases of contemporary Arab and Jewish cultures. read full story / add a comment

During a cabinet meeting yesterday, Morocco's King Mohamed VI yesterday approved a series of projects, among these the creation of an agency for the development of the "Southern provinces", or Western Sahara, according to international terminology. The Polisario Front already has labelled this an "act of colonisation". Morocco's "Southern provinces" concur with the ex-colony Spanish Sahara, which was occupied by Morocco in 1975. The Polisario Front has fought for Sahara's independence ever since. Morocco's integration of the territory is not recognised internationally and the UN demands a referendum among the territory's original population to establish whether it should become independent or Morocco's southern province. read full story / add a comment

You don't have to block a door, or chain yourself to a tree. You don't have to wear plastic cuffs behind your back, or sport a black eye for your acts of resistance. No... you can do something much simpler and long lasting. You can scare the hell out of them with an act of defiance that they would never dream you would commit to doing. And you can commit to this. Yes you can. If you want to help stop fueling corporate wars against humanity and the environment, then embrace this one simple act. read full story / add a comment
