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 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.

KITTY KELLEY TV SCHEDULE to Air Book that Says George W. Bush Is WIMP

category international | politics / elections | other press author Monday September 13, 2004 08:44author by Pablo Kristophoros - American Media Enterprises Report this post to the editors

Book says "W stands for wimp." Backs it up.

Monday a.m., Kitty Kelley will air her book on the George Bush family - The Family - on NBC's TODAY SHOW, which starts at 7 a.m.
This and the release of the book the next day are historic occasions. The book will generate headlines and, eventually, notes in history books. Below we have listed some of the programs Miss Kitty will be on. The main lesson from the book is this: "W" as in George W. Bush stands for "Wimp." Bush relates poorly to women, including Laura Bush, and has other relationships that are less than manly, according to the book, discussed below.
George Bush Biographer Kitty Kelley

A SCHEDULE OF KITTY KELLEY APPEARANCES IS BELOW.

AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPER REPORTS "THE FAMILY" WILL DISCUSS BUSH RELATIONS WITH VICTOR ASHE

The Age, a mainstream Australian newspaper like the Washington Post, reported on Sept. 10 of Ms. Kelley that, She may also raise a nasty rumour that circulates in Washington DC from time to time, that President Bush had a "special relationship" with a former mayor of Tennessee, Victor Ashe, who is now the US ambassador to Poland." The quote refers to Victor Ashe, the former mayor of Knoxville, Georgie's roomie at Yale and, like Georgie, a cheerleader. Ashe has received other official appointments from Bush. Both men have made several trips to commingle, since Bush acceded to the presidency. Ashe has visited the Bush ranch at Crawford, TX. Records of visits to Crawford, by Ashe and others, are no longer kept (though records of visits to the White House are kept). Bush appointed Ashe to a position outside the country before the 2004 election campaign started.

Laura Bush is going around the country proclaiming that "W (the salient initial of her husband) stands for women." Make that singular, if the above story is true.This is not a gay-bashing article. This is not to say that gays are less than anyone else or not strong. However, traditionally - and George Bush pretends to be a traditional man - men chase men and women chase women, exclusively.

"W" STANDS FOR "WIMP" - The evidence of these stories is in the book, "The Family," in hundreds of notes. The stories are well souced, over 800 sources.

The book, The Family, also reports that George Bush has engaged in domestic violence. This could have been verbal abuse, which Bush is noted for and which earned him the nickname "Lip" at Yale. Whatever it was, it prompted Laura Bush to flee her own home on more than one occasion, the book says, according to the Sunday Herald (UK) newspaper. Real men do not bully women.

GEORGE AND LAURA ARE HAVING TROUBLES

George and Laura may be on the rocks. He probably has broken his promise to stay off intoxicants. According to the book, Bush used cocaine AFTER his conversion to Christianity. That brings into question about his sincerity and his present claims to moral superiority. Also relevant is what the drugs could have done to his mind before his conversion and alleged abstenance.

George Bush drug Laura Bush into his family obligation to acquire power - against her will and his promise - and now that has led to a quest for world domination -- well beyond the expectations of a middle-class librarian from the smoggy oilfields of Midland, Texas

A recent press conference illustrates the wimp charge. A group of female protesters interrupted Bush's press conference until the police and Secret Service agents could remove them. Under similar circumstances, Ronald Reagan would have looked up, flashed a smile, and tossed his head and tossed a quip. Bush, on the other hand, looked actually frightened.

AWOL CHARGED IN "THE FAMILY"

That the man lacks physical courage is shown in the book. His flight as a pilot was mainly not in the Texas Air National guard but *from* the Guard. This of course is the biggest current news story on Bush, other than Ms. Kelley's book. On a personal note, I also was in the Air National Guard. Something that has not been discussed, and should be, is other documents that are generated when one leaves the ANG. If a person leaves a state ANG, that requires that an order be generated by the state adjutant general's department, Texas or Alabama, in Bush's case, assigning him to another state or to the Obligated Reserve section, ARPC, Denver, CO (per para. 14p, ANGR 39-10 (Removal from state).

This was not done in Bush's case.

When Bush actually left the Air National Guard to go to Harvard Business School, there should have been a Discharge And/Or Reenlistment Interview, which would have generated another form from his particular ANG unit.

This was not done in Bush's case. These Bush exceptions should not be dismissed as privelege of the "well placed" that was common at the time (if it was, it still is). The Bush election campaign has made light of John Kerry's service in Vietnam, 15 weeks. However, Kerry was in a combat zone whatever he did. He probably did at least come under fire - at least. Bush, however, made sure he would never be in combat and reneged on his agreement even to serve as a reserve pilot, which cost the taxpayers over $1 million to train him for.

W, WIMP, BARBARA'S BOY

"The Family" details another special relationship of George Bush, that to his mother Barbara. Combined with the documented love/hate relationship to his father, this could be described as Oedipal. Part of his rationale for attacking Iran could have been, "I'll show Mother that I finished what my old man started and saved his butt to boot." (The Clinton administration claimed that Saddam Hussein had plotted to kill the former president Bush ex officio.)

LIAR OF THE DAY: North Korea had a large explosion detected by satellites last week. Colin Powell says the mushroom cloud was not from a nuclear explosion.

LAURA BUSH NO ANGEL EITHER

Laura Bush, nee Welch, killed a young man, Michael Douglas, in 1963, by running a stop sign with her car. Of all of the 50,000 people in Midland, Texas, at the time, the youth killed was her boyfriend. Strangely enough, the accident happened in Douglas' neighborhood. Even stranger, Laura Welch left her home for the fateful encounter "after an incident." And strangest of all, Douglas left his home with his father close behind in another car. The police report is shown. When the responding officers checked a box that said, "Is investigation complete?" they checked it "No"; yet there never was any further investigation. Laura was not charged. As First Lady, she let pass a Reader's Digest story that had false statements about mitigating circumstances (type of vehicle, road conditions, etc.).

Anti-Bushies could do better than fatten the bank balance of this trash merchant.

Maybe she needs to fund another facelift

author by Deepublication date Sun Oct 17, 2004 11:36author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Several people have trashed Ms. Kelly here on this page. This is the only thing republicans can do. We can all predict everything they will write and say. But, after reading about Ms. Kelly, it seems she has written several tell all books. I've noticed that everything she's written has come to be true regarding her other subjects.

Regarding our current President: No matter what any of his loyalists write here, the fact is President Bush supported the Viet Nam war (as did Cheney) and yet did not make the personal commitment for our country to fight it himself. He was here safe at home supporting a war that many of his fellow Americans were risking life and limb fighting. This background makes him unworthy to lead so great a nation as ours. This fact supports the few excerpts from Ms. Kelly's book that are written on this page.

Also, it is clear that he is not an effective leader. He has alienated most of the world. He has divided us here at home. He calls Mr. Kerry a "liberal spender" just as the republicans did President Clinton, and yet these "liberal's" are the ones who managed to deliver us a balanced budget. It appears that Mr. Bush is the big spender. Now Fox "News" is siting Mrs. Kerry's income tax payment loopholes. Someone should force them to tell the truth. These loopholes were made by the republicans and they didn't mind her taking them when she was married to a republican. The fact that we average Americans pay so much more of a percentage than the rich can be laid at the doorstep of the republicans. This is just another example of republican flim flamming. Ms. Kelly's book may in deed reveal more.

After reading things about both Laura and George Bush's pasts, I feel sorry for them both. They are ill suited for the rolls power has blessed them with. But, I feel sorrier still for our country and all those who are dying for the bad decisions made in the White House under this administration.

It is sad, but so very often true, that the most conservative individuals in politics and the media who condemn others for being gay, crooked, and or promiscuous, so often turn out to be guilty of those very things themselves.

'Guilty' of being gay?
Is that a catchphrase of the new angry left?
