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 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.

"Very special arrangements..."

category international | politics / elections | other press author Wednesday April 13, 2005 21:44author by .:.Q & A+ - priory of Sion Report this post to the editors

"very special contracts"

In a few days, a little more than a hundred mature
men will enter a special place to engage in a
millenial ritual to elect one of their belief pattern to
lead over
1.2 billion fellow believers into "the XIX century".

The result of their ritual shall influence the social,
political, ethical, economic, moral and "spiritual"
direction of this planet.

Here's a short reminder of the "very special
arrangements"

There will be no emails or any other electronic
communication into our out of the Holy See for the
duration of the Conclave.

Those states, corporations and individuals who
operate satelites in geo-stationary or other orbit
over the Holy See are asked to suspend such
activity for the duration of the Conclave.

Any attempt to use satelites to infringe the secrecy
of the Conclave shall be considered an act of War
on the Vatican state.

Any cardinal elector, or worker in the Vatican State
who divulges information to any third party during
the conclave will be excommunicated. That means
their summary execution shall be lawful.

Any cardinal elector or worker in the Vatican State
who permits the surveilance of the conclave shall
be excommunicated. (all repeat) "their summary
execution shall be lawful".

The cardinal electors and workers are aware of
some of the measures which have been taken.

The Conclave area is the Sistine chapel.

The ceiling (painted by Michelangelo) (very good
job) has no windows. The area will be closed in
an electro-magnetic shield for the duration of the
conclave.


In addition, any cardinal or worker who has had
invasive surgery in the last four decades is
advised to report to the vicar general's office.

The cardinal electors are aware of the gravity of the
task they are entrusted with, and of the
corresponding uncertainty the media and culture
industries and "legendary prophecies" may cause
to the wider community. Many have played their
part excellently since the demise of Pope John
Paul 2 "the great = "saint" Karol Wotyla.


Many states, corporations and private interests are
interested in the result and are capable of
influencing the result and the voting process.

The Late Roman Pontiff explicitly proscribed
excommunication for all those who attempt to
canvass, bribe, influence, or otherwise influence
the ritual of conclave-

(all repeat)- their summary execution will be lawful.

The media naturally will be much impressed at the
"electro-magnetic shield", & yes it's costing a
fortune, an arm and a leg, up to your effin neck on
a beach with your tongue tied to the tip of your
nose- don't even ponder what happens to your testicles.
But to be quite frank, building such
hardware is not that "high tech" @ all @ all.

If any of you hang out in fishtanks and specialise
in clairvoyance / clair-sentience or anyother remote
viewing techniques for a living, don't even bother.

.:. we are the masters & we got a deal, if you're
dead you still float .:.

There are indeed many other surveillance and
remote suggestion devices which may pass metal
and other (standard spectro-chronographic x ray)
tests.

& like there all known. yep every single one of
them. As they say in smoking GNU land - "There
are no secrets".

sure like:-

"we got the patent on letters and numbers".

Every infraction of the sovreignty of the Vatican
state shall be counted, weighed and numbered by
the Holy See, her allies and defenders,
and no third party will win any brownie points by
displaying new gadgets or gizmos.

Rather they shall be...
(all repeat)...


May we all wish the cardinal electors and workers
of the Vatican State luck, providence, and
blessings as they choose the next Roman Pontiff,
who will represent the milenial christian tradition,
the majority tradition of "the books", and the
constant moral authority.

May anyone who breaks the rules, be prepared to
pay the forfeit, for they are going to pay that forfeit.
as we say in Priory of Zion land-
ve gevurah ve gedulah l olahim amen.
world without end.
Amen.

* historians' note, it has been some time a
disputed conclave, as you'll know that causes the
phenomona of "anti-pope", that's the wonderful
thing about the millenial tradition it's ... _"so
medieval"_. & your readership "are prepared".
