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.

Ploughshares Activists Arrested Carrying Out Citizens Inspection on Board Plane at Prestwick Aiport

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Monday August 07, 2006 12:50author by Ploughshares Support Report this post to the editors

A number of Trident Ploughshares activists were arrested in the early hours of this morning on plane at Prestwick Airport, Scotland.

The nonviolent anti-war group were carrying out a citizens inspection of an aircraft while investigating covert British co-operation in the ongoing Israeli bombing of Lebanon. One of those arrested was twice acquitted Angie Zelter of the "Seeds of Hope" & "Loch Goil" Ploughshares and a founding member of the Trident Ploughshares campaign.

U.S. bomb deliveries to Israel have been recently diverted from Shannon Airport to Prestwick. The Trident Ploughshares campaign of nonviolent direct action at the nuclear submarine base in Faslane, Scotland is presently being explored by Irish anti-war activists as a model for a campaign to demilitarise Shannon Airport.

See link below for a more detailed account of this morning's anti-war action at Prestwick......

BEIRUT, Lebanon - The Lebanese prime minister said one person was killed in an Israeli air raid Monday in the southern border village of Houla, lowering the death toll from 40. Prime Minister Fuad Saniora said at a news conference that he had based the initial tally on unspecified information that he had received.

He offered no other explanation for the error.

Maybe it was a lie, maybe it was a mistake...hard to keep stats when you're getting your basic infrastructure blown to shite.

It's a bit like the guy whose father dies on a Friday.
He's walking down the street on the Saturday and this guy stops him and says "Are you ok?"

He replies, "My father died at 3pm yesterday!"

And the guy retorts "Oh I thought it was at 2pm! "

A bit like your response LINK,
you both miss the point!

Yeh RIGHT, that he happened to say it at the Arab conference with tears steaming down his face IS the point

It was a blatent LIE

YOU missed the point my friend

You also miss the point that 12,000 odd rockets trundled from Iran to Lebanon THROUGH Northern Lebanon and the government of the day didnt notice any of em coming down.

These rockets are quite large my friend
The lebanese government have noone else to blame but themselves for the predicament they face

THEY ARE COMPLICIT

When it comes to lying it is hard to beat the Israeli cabinet minister who announced on the Today program that Israel obeyed by all international rules and regulations. Israel has ignored 56 UN resolutions. As cherries on the top Israeli PR has floated the stories that they have a "humanitarian" section in their main War Ops room and that pilots drop their bombs deliberately off target just in case there are any kids down there.

They did again, just like at Shannon the airport police told everyone it was secure and the group were arrested quickly yet another group walked on to two USAF chartered planes to see what it was carrying because Blair won't.

From south Africa, to Florida, and California, and currently the top story on the web version of Stars and Stripes. So these brave acts of non-violent resistance to war will reach awide audience, including thousands of serving US military personnel. Food for thought indeed.

Stars and Stripes confirms that the protestors entered a C-130 of the 166th Airlift wing.

the Pentagon might want to rethink their policy of using civilian airports for their wars. Sure, they make pretty good backdrops for photo ops, but you can't guarantee that peaceniks won't disrupt your war effort at a civilian facilitiy.

More cops have been posted to Prestwick and Shannon.

Just got word, the Prestwick people have been acquitted on a technicality. The Crown failed to prove that the pentagon had not provided permission to board the planes.
