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

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.

The 'Downing St. Memos' destroyed? Not on your Nelly!

WHY DESTROY THE PROOF?

If one as an investigative journalist wants to stay alive, one way to do it is 'serving' the explosive information in portions. First fifty%, then 25, and the last 25% is a kind of 'life guard': used until a 'case of emergency' erupts, like when the journalist or whistleblower is "suicided".

by Henk Ruyssenaars

FPF - June 20th 2005 - Esteemed colleague Kurt Nimmo writes in his blog* that "Right-Wingers Declare Downing Street Minutes Fake", indicating that "right-wingers are going bananas over this one, especially on Free Republic and Moonbat Central:

Michael Smith, who broke the story about the Downing Street Minutes in the Daily Telegraph* and the Sunday Times, has told the Associated Press he “protected the identity of the source he had obtained the documents from by typing copies of them on plain paper and destroying the originals.”

In short, for the right-wingers, this is conclusive evidence of another “fake document” scam (like the Dan Rather fake document scam on Bush’s National Guard service).

Right-wingers are ecstatic and dancing like Israelis on nine eleven* and we should expect them to harp on this over and over until it is actually given credence by the corporate media—the same corporate media that grudgingly provided coverage on a story that would be, beyond the realm of Bushzarro world, of major significance with awesome political ramification. *

DESTROY THE PROOF? NOT ON YOUR NELLY!

What a journalist/correspondent does in a 'hot case' like this, is to very fast and secretly copy everything possible in three, five or tenfold and give the copies/DVD's etc. to friends and trusted lawyers which hide the items, or put them in safes somewhere.

THEY WILL PRESENT IT AND GIVE IT TO BE PUBLISHED IN EXTENSO BY TRUSTED MEDIA OUTLETS THE VERY SECOND ANYTHING 'STRANGE' HAPPENS TO THE JOURNALIST/MESSENGER. [http://tinyurl.com/durhh]

But many times it's clever to let it be known that you "destroyed" the originals, to avoid an immediate and house wrecking 'search' and maltreatment by 'forces unknown' (SSB?) - waiting until enough lying neocons and their media ilk have taken the bait.

Than you publish another 25% of the documents, showing that your neocon opponents and their collaborators in the mainstream media - as usual - are lying through their teeth and are absolutely not to be trusted.

THE LAST 25% IS YOUR LIFE INSURANCE, AND/OR IS USED IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.

Like when 'they' start threatening you, your family and friends; they can 'plant' coke in your house or car, download 'child porno' into your computer or - which is getting very much in fashion - the journalist/whistleblower/messenger gets the 'Dr. Kelly treatment' and is "suicided".

Concerning the neocon stories which daily like 'mental manure' are spread by the totally untrustworthy Associated Press and similar info criminals: NONE of the international so called 'news agencies' can be trusted, nor all the mainstream media they 'feed' with their propaganda and brainwash.

Like the 99% of their TV, radio broadcasts papers which are nearly all owned by the zionist cabal and/or their ilk which have been waging all the illegal greed-wars. They help killing to make profits, and are all guilty of 'Crimes against Humanity', by association and/or advocating the genocides with their inhuman killing and destroying.

That's why one never destroys the evidence; the proof that what you're saying is true.

It's like sawing off the branch of the tree you're sitting on.
