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.

Response to Chancelor Brown of the UK's suggestion to cancel world debt in SE Asia.

category international | anti-capitalism | other press author Wednesday January 05, 2005 15:18author by paddington - good gamma go to sleep-. Report this post to the editors

Mr Brown, drives round car in a big car,
ooops that was brother Marleye.

Mr Brown is scottish.
a lot of people are.
He's sounds scottish as well, a lot of them don't.
He looks after the money for the Queen of England who is the Queen of Scotland as well.
A lot of money.
This is an important job, and especially these next few months it is important as lots of the other people who look after lots of money are going to Scotland to Gleneagles to talk about how to stop getting blood from the stone and start making things better.

Phil Bloomer of Oxfam :-

“We welcome Gordon Brown’s proposal of a debt moratorium for countries hit by the Asian Tsunami disaster. Last year Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Thailand paid out $20bn on debt repayment and the total debt burden for the countries affected is $300bn. It would be unforgivable for rich countries to continue to demand repayments in the face of such widespread devastation and such great needs.

It is vital that the money saved is ring fenced so that it reaches the people that need it most. It must also be additional to, rather than included in, the aid money already pledged. Finally, the short-term response to the Tsunami disaster must not replace longer term debt cancellation plans for heavily indebted countries.”

http://www.oxfam.org.uk/press/releases/asiaquake_brown_050104.htm

Here's another take on it from The Scotsman which is bit like Figaro in that your average anti-capitalist doesn't read it, but they do do very good obituaries.

http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=3959653

and here's the news that Japan is backing the Brown plan for Tsunami debt relief.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/tsunami/story/0,15671,1383813,00.html

Japan is very rich, but also very strange, they had negative interest rates for a while, which Mr Brown found very interesting, on account of him being the accountant.

Other people who find this riveting are to be found in business class and such like in airplanes who are given a free copy of the Financial Times just like many of you in big cities get a copy of your local rag free to read on the metro/underground.
The FT is printed on silly looking paper. This is so you can spot the well fed gamma reading it from a distance, they like being spotted you know.
Thats why TV and high profile jobs abound with them.
http://news.ft.com/cms/s/f4f49324-5d2b-11d9-bb9c-00000e2511c8.html

Now for the figures.
the proposed plan would add 2,000,000,000$ immediately to the relief kitty in digital money, which covers the fuel expense on the USAF helicopters promised by Colin Powell & it looks really neat on the back of a napkin (sorry we had no other paper to hand) but it doesn't end the concept of world debt.

repeat:-

it doesn't end the concept of world debt.

the Rejected "Marshall Plan" suggestion sounded really good, look at Germany, they did very well didn't they? Look at Ireland and Spain they got next to no Marshall plan money and you got Angela's ashes and Antonio Banderas as Ramon.

we've run out of paper napkins or "serviettes" as the good people of Scotland call them, so we hope you keep trying better.

If you want you too can have colonel bogey on your mobile phone, or send it to a friend. Which helps us all put the nasty memories of the darkness behind us.

*****
hancellor Gordon Brown has backed Bob Geldof's call for a million protesters to descend on Edinburgh to campaign against poverty during the G8 summit.

Police chiefs have voiced fears over the scale of the march but Mr Brown said he supported a peaceful parade.

He said: "People have a right to make a peaceful protest and that is something people should be able to do."

******
he UK's plan to write off debts owed by African nations is facing opposition in the US - and particularly from President George W Bush.

Mr Bush said a key part of the plan did not fit with the US budget process.

Mr Bush's stance sets up a possible clash with UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, due in Washington next week.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4606197.stm

**********************EXTRA THING-

the G8 this year is about standing upto the U$A.
Its not about Geldof, that's stuff your mammy and local scot garda can handle, and it will make them less keen on battering the hell out of people.
But for the first time, ever ever, in the last year the potential to cancel debt is there, its not the complete answer, its not the door out of babalon,
but its making things clearer, and the current sitaution with the €U is important for that.
We are as a generation calling for an end to poverty, within and without the U$A and €U and we have been doing so since G8 Genoa, Seattle, and all of it. & now we are getting small responses from Brown in the UK and also France, remember the airline tax suggestion of chirac, and ryanairs refusal to implement it.

And we will not allow the creation of an economic superstate to serve the g8.
It ought now be obvious that the core of Europe, those people who built and have inspired the project have also rejected the haste with which the leadership of neo-liberalism pushed the envelope and ignored the aim at heart-
peace and an end to poverty.
And it is us, those who bring years and years of gaming experience to this years G8 who have best honoured the european project.
A workers' europe, a peoples' europe a europe of regions and nations may assist Africa and South America and Asia, a neo-liberal capitalist €U can not.

Alan Greenspan is currently in his fifth term as man incharge of the Federal Reserve of the USA.
The Federal Reserve "lends" money to the US Federal Government and issues the dollar, unlike the systems in other countries like our great Europe where a Central Bank issues most of the notes or the Crown Banks issues others.

The Federal Reserve thus dictates the value of "money" globally as Federal Reserve dollars are accepted currency for anything from buying Smack to Coke to Arms to Children in most countries of the world.

Mr Greenspan is upset with China coz the Chinese won't revalue their peg to the Federal Reserve Dollar coz that would make life easier for the USA.

Mr Greenspan is upset with Europe coz our currency is knocking the shit out of his.

Mr Greenspan is upset with the Japanese coz they've mysteriously invented negative interest rates which fuck up Californian banks.

Mr Greenspan is upset with the British coz they've plummy accents and can read ancient languages and have a habit of pulling tricks on you, but unfortuantely Mr Greenspan and Co. can't remember how that works.

BASTA MR GREENSPAN
DINERO GRATIS MR GREENSPAN
WE'RE GONNA GIVE YE....

Basically the proposals of HMG Brown to use global capital funds to raise 50,000,000,000 a year to ensure the end of global poverty have been rejected by
Alan Greenspan on behalf of the USA on the grounds that the US budget can not accomodate them.

Let's put this very simply, coz your corporate media won't.

Europe and Japan and Russia oppose the USA.
why?
Because Billions of people worldwide are going to continue living in desolate poverty because the number 1 polluter, the number 1 stockpiler of WMD, the number 1 producer of pornography and weapons, the number 1 prison state, the number 1 liar "can't afford" to tighten its belt and go through austerity.

Meanwhile Little Miss Condolence Rice has warned Russia that it will have to get tough on transnational crime if it is to continue getting favourable cameo appearances in Hollywood movies or the hope of an invite on a space shuttle.

the jargon crap-
"Finance ministers from the Group of Seven industrial nations said Saturday they were willing to provide up to 100 percent debt relief to the world's poorest nations, but insisted that developing countries ensure the money would be spent wisely."

"the IMF will examine the possibility of using Gold reserves in April to fund debt relief."

If you have any hidden reserves of Gold this might be the time to consult your bank on how to convince the USA to accept its long overdue austerity.

link to the preparations over in United Kollectives land for the 2005 G8 conference.
Meanwhile the IMF have cleared 1,000,000,000$ the man in charge over there is Rodrigo Rato, who served previously under Mr Aznar in the Spanish gov.
Señor Rato has said the billion can be cleared from the "emergency aid for natural disasters fund" which the IMF has for extra special occassion when "natural disasters" need "emergency funds" in the third world which is an "economic and imperialist disaster area" 7 days a week. Things have to get very very bad for the IMF to think they're worthy of "emergency" status.
