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.

The cases of at least 7 of those arrested on the recent Reclaim the streets protest were heard on Monday morning in the Bridewell court in Dublin. In addition at least 2 cases were heard last Friday. All of the cases were adjourned for the following dates. 5 cases will be heard on Monday July 1st, 1 case will be heard on Tuesday July 2nd and 2 cases will be heard on Friday July 5th. About 10 supporters showed up to show solidarity with those arrested. In all of the cases except one the police sought the adjournement in order to investigate bringing extra charges against the protestors. All of the hearings were dealt with perfunctorily by the judge who seemed somewhat amused by the cases. The only hitch was when the police lost the charge sheet of one of the defendants, but eventually they found it (although since the original read full story / add a comment

The prominent Israeli author A.B. Yehoshua who is also a leading figure in Israel's peace camp gave an interview to the Arab-Israeli newspaper Kul Al-Arab[1] in which he expressed doubt of Yasser Arafat's ability to be Israel's peace partner and blamed him for causing disaster to the Palestinian people. Yehoshua also called upon the members of the Labor party to resign from the unity government, and argued that now is the opportunity for a revival of Israel's left which should call for a unilateral separation between Israel and the Palestinians. Following are excerpts from the interview: read full story / add a comment

A few questions. I was at the RTS and am still wondering about several things that happened as I was on the periphery at the beginning and in the middle at the end. These are questions I have been asked and couldn’t answer. Who decided on Burgh Quay? Obviously somebody did as this was where the car was waiting? Where the Dublin Fire Brigade there already? If so do they act with the police often ? Did anyone see them harassed? Where the protesters corralled at College Green as part of some deliberate police operation? How many cops were there altogether? Did anyone see any physical attacks on cops? I did see empty cans hurled at cops on Burgh Quay but they were chucked from the middle of the throng. If anyone can iron these points out that’d be a really big help. read full story / add a comment
