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.

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.

"never forget who you wear that -umpire's_ hat for".
(thats a ukranian play on words)
