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.

Excerpt: "Thursdy march was not the same at all, many (Reclaim the Streets and others) lamented; it had been hijacked by left-wing groups who laid the dreary recruiting hand of organised socialism upon them. An RTS spokesperson made a point of expressing dismay at this in the last-but-one speech outside Pearse Street station. His was meant to be the very last speech but Globalise Resistance master of ceremonies Joe Carolan, also a member of the Socialist Workers' Movement (sic), could not resist packing in one more speech from one more over-excited radical bent on winning potential members to myriad socialist causes." read full story / add a comment

You read the news accounts of Israel's discovery of documents linking Yasser Arafat directly to terrorist acts and sponsorship of suicide bombings. Now read the report for yourself. http://www.mfa.gov.il/mfa/go.asp?MFAH0lom0 I have. And I find it beyond persuasive. I find it conclusive. But, of course, I did not need convincing. My own work over 20 years covering the Middle East long ago persuaded me that Arafat is an unrepentant killer of innocents – a thug, a monster, an evil, manipulative terrorist, a murderer of dozens of Americans including diplomats, women, old handicapped men and children. Yet, this report by Israel's Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs is worth reading – beyond what it has to say regarding Arafat. Check out how it indicts Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah – that other great peacemaker. Find out about the other billionaire sheiks of the Middle East and the roles they play in murder and mayhem. read full story / add a comment

Once again on Thursday night, the Inspector that was at the march on Monday and on Thursday was without identification numbers. The man refused to give his numbers, name or rank on Monday night (I asked him twice for them) and as was pointed out on last night's Late Late Show, another person asked the same Inspector 4 times for his name, number, rank and his officers names and numbers and was refused. Is there some rule which exempts senior officers from wearing their numbers? read full story / add a comment

Connolly was murdered because he put the rights of people before the rights of property. The political structure in Ireland puts the rights of property before people. The recently passed Jim Crow, anti-Traveller law criminalises a way of life whilst bigotry prevents them living any other way. There are no old Travellers because they have been killed by the Irish social system.What ended in Treblinka began with scapegoating. By whatever means necessary this on-going atrocity must be ended.
