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.

Bush 2 has arrived in Brussels to talk to the EU.

category international | eu | other press author Sunday February 20, 2005 21:47author by frying other fish Report this post to the editors

lets go back to the familiar games eh?

“And I like to talk about him about well, why did you do this, or why did you do that? And I suspect he likes to ask me the same questions,”

“We’ve got the framework for a good strategic relationship… I think this relationship can be invigorated,”

“Look, I think the biggest success would be twofold: one, an understanding of the war – the world we live in and the war on terror.”

“Now, the enemy hit us and .... They hit us in a gruesome way, and...

the missing word is "russia".

And so Mr bush spoke exclusively to Russian media organs in prelude to his meeting Vladimar Putin at Bratislava on the 24th of Feb 2005.

http://itar-tass.com/eng/level2.html?NewsID=1761912&PageNum=0

Julia, the PM of the Ukraine has been continuing work on basic rights for the Ukrainian peoples whose first strategic allies are the Russians.

She is hoping that their previous rights to work, a pension, health and hearing aids will continue.

Though Mr Putin is finding it hard dealing with what his communications minister described as "provacateurism" with increasing thousands of both students and pensioners demanding those rights of the new captialist friendly russian state.

Julia has expressed her wish to lead the Ukraine into a EU membership by the year 2016, and hopes that by then, the lebensraum / grande armée crew will have got a constitution together she and her peers can consider worthy of Ludwig can Beethoven.

You all know the hymnsheet.
It's going to take you a while to get it right.
obviously.

Meanwhile, thousands protested Mr Bush as he arrived in Brussels where the EU HQ stands in the former Luxembourg station, because they think he's a wanker.

Mr Bush has come to build bridges.
"pontes" in romanic languages.
Only a week after he appointed negroponte to the new post 911 role of chief intelligence digest reader. This role will mean Mr Negroponte must daily read 15 conflicting reports from 15 conflicting agencies with a combined budget of 27,000,000,000$ (excluding the revenues on patents for velcro).

This more than exceeds the annual cost of providing to the poorest of our fellow brothers and sisters of the planetary community, vaccines, water, sanitation, schooling, and decent nuclear arms.

Mr Bush will use his visit to Europe as an opportunity to remind us he is relevant.

and in the spirit of respecting democracy he will e happy to see thousands of people waving "Bush the world finds you responsible" banners.
http://www.indymedia.be/news/2005/02/93113.php
http://www.indymedia.be/news/2005/02/93106.php
http://www.indymedia.be/news/2005/02/93098.php

Though he might giggle, as John Negreponte is now held to be responsible by 15 US very resentful spooky agencies varying from the familiar CIA (drop concrete blocks form airplanes) to the familiar FBI (caught Hopkins and put him ina a cage) to the familiar NSA (use over 50% of the state of Maryland's electricity) to the not so familiar MIB (very good special effects) and the Black Helicopters (use a lot of paint - don't like cows).

And Bush is probably unaware that his (Np's) deletion was sanctioned yesterday without too much fuss. {gurb mile maith agat. plausible deniabilty on that one.}

So what can we expect of the new relationship?

Well Mr Bush is looking east.
Mr Bush hasn't come to talk spanish.
And right now spanish isn't that popular in sneeky belgium, (Belgium is so full of sneakydom that even NATO / OTAN tippy toppy types won't tell the truth there) so honestly we can't expect much from this @ all.

the last 24 hours have meant moving and shaking in the old structures of "€uropa" and the internal repercussions will mean "being charming to ma cherie Connie" just don't cut the ice anymore.

Mr Bush will attend on behalf of the "free world" a commemoration of the "Great Patriotic War" when many millions of Russians, Ukranians,Baltics, Georgians, and others joined to fight fascism and nazism (though ordered by Stalin) we can be pretty sure most died having thought about God.

http://itar-tass.com/eng/level2.html?NewsID=1759367&PageNum=0

Luxembourg who hold the EU presidency aren't as sneeky as Belgium or Brussels or even the French and will be sort of decent to Mr Bush when they meet him. Consult your local pro-U$ pro €U for trite cliché reporting.

yesterday in Paris.

"All alliance to search for Security and Peace".

Between them these three states contribute more military and related technological and financial resources to the European Union's external policies than any other current partnership within or without NATO. They also boast (combined) the largest diplomatic networks in the world. ¿do you think the british feel left out now?

On the agenda was -

The alliance of Civilisations.
(who thinks there in and who takes too much for granted)

The Lebanon problem. (all 4 call for Syrian withdrawl revitalisation of Barcelona declaration)

The Kosovo situation where EUFOR is based.
The assistance of Europe to the Ukraine (bit of tutting about Ukraine selling Iran scuds).

The non-involvement in the illegal war on Iraq.
(never means never)

The continued presence of ISAF (international solidarity afghanistan force) in Afghanistan.
(not leaving)

The peaceful solution to any Iranian problems.
(not going to war)

The peaceful solution to Chechnyan problem.
(not ignoring it)

The peaceful solution to the USA problem.
(has to come some day) as a result of the multi-polar world of which Russia is a pole.


Today at 15 h 30 in the Book Room Paris,
a special conference called by the Federation of Rights of Man will focus on Chechnya.

w€ won.

Bush has gone home, the majority of media space and spin off psychological deep resonance in European media and Russia and Ukraine and Levant and Asia went to-

Bam earthquake (again).
sickly Pope (again).
Royal wedding shocker! (again).

The "build bridges tour" saw Bush behave very badly addressing three presidents in a way which broke all protocol and accepted courtesy and good manners.
It is felt he's not going to be invited again unless its completely unavoidable.

In case you missed it (the best of)-

Bush said "hola amigo que tal?" to President Zapatero in an exchange which lasted 4 seconds, and saw the first governmental contact percieved as an insult to the Spanish nation who ZP represents.

Bush was given a "handshake" by Chirac which said "restez vous au délà mon cher .:."

Bush addressed the Chancellor as "Gerhard" a complete "no-no" for germans who even have problems addressing their lovers by just first names.

Bush didn't mention the pope when photographed in Bratislava over an orthodox cross and this time lost the body language "I'll pat you on the back and guide you to your place" game with Vladimir.

The man and his administration are tailor made for US mass media consumption, he's "the regular guy", but in "old Europe" he loses, for w€ are the maestr@s of "turning it around".

After leading their prayers for the sick Pope who was hospitalised this morning, the Angel of the Lord offered a decade of the rosary to our Loady of Fatima, and reminded everyone that muslims are just as devout as the citizens of Salt Lake city but don't wash as much.
He then reminded everyone he was number 43.
Waved his hands about, and warned people on the dangers of cut and pasting un-credited obits from respected news sources.

a strong turn-out to mock the angel of the Lord as he prepares for his crucifixtion tomorrow, in the city of Bratislava which comrade (you need dinero gratis) Vladimar Putin chose for the summit.

On account of it having a russian style flag and still boasting a few old soviet death ray underground installations from the cold war period. Slovakia doesn't have an indymedia, but people with attac austria and slovak greenpeace (Beatrix and Juraj) are working on it. and they are under my and your (=our) protection.

Here are photos of the protest in Germany today against the Angel of the lord, the scourge of the unrightous, the Messiah of the Roadmap, mister 43,
Young germans compared the Angel of the Lord to Hitler today, which just goes to show they've no idea of history. Meanwhile the russians are the bad guys, aren't they?

well just to show you they do appreciate history they also protested against neo Nazi's in Berlin today. And on a personal note, can I say how impressed I was in the run-up to the Shoah Holocaust "where's George Soros" gig this year, to meet a young berliner girl with a skull and crossbones tattooed on the back of her neck with the words (in german) "our guilt". Someday her hair will grow and no-one will see it, maybe some day people in the USA will also sport tattoos of the Angel of the Lord - "he died for our sins".

The Angel of the Lord, George Bush touched down the conventionally way (using Air force 1) at exactly 09h43 on the runway of Germany to meet Mr Shroeder (big man doesnt say much).

earlier at 08h14 The chancelor went to meet his big wigs re-assure them of their independence and start to wait for the Angel of the Lord, the Scourge of the unrightous, the Messiah of the Road Map, George Bush pressie 43 of the USA.

at 10h53 a small but very voiceful group of protesters entered the precint of the meeting with plackards which were broadcast live on TV which read-
"Bush - Mörder Nr.1" this is is a reference to the Angel of the Lord's cameo part in the movie Lord of the Rings.

at 11h10 the wives posed for the photo.
on the left is Mrs Chancellor.
and on the right is Mrs America.

link to pre-summit protest photos, you will not the protesters are ashamed of their faces and have little black lines over their eyes this is because they do not want to see the light.
