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 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.

Sligo Says No to War

category sligo | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Tuesday August 22, 2006 16:58author by Joe Flanagan - Sligo Anti War groupauthor address Ballymote, Co. Sligo.author phone 087-6296899 Report this post to the editors

Over 60 people participated in the Anti War demonstration organised by the Anti War Movement and Palestine Solidarity Campaign in Ballymote Co. Sligo today. The demonstration took place near the site of the Michael Corcoran monument which was being unveiled by New York’s Mayor, Michael Bloomberg.


“Its not just about knowing in your heart that the slaughter of innocents in the Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine is wrong – it’s about expressing these sentiments in public” said Mr Tim Mulcahy, of the Sligo Anti War group, when he praised all those who had participated in the peace demonstration. “I also wish to thank all those Sligo public representatives who did not attend the ceremonies in Sligo and Ballymote to honour Mr Bloomberg. Their support was appreciated.” he said.

“Sligo and Ballymote can hold its head high. We sent a clear message to Mayor Bloomberg and the Deputy U.S. Ambassador today - we oppose the Israeli war against the Lebanese and Palestinian people, a war in which the Bush administration has played an integral part and we oppose the war and ongoing occupation of Iraq.” he said.

”The destruction visited upon Lebanon cannot be justified. In this context we in Ireland must show the strength of our opposition to those vested interests who have promoted war.

“Mayor Bloomberg has publicly endorsed the Israeli war of aggression and praised President Bush and his cabinet for their continued support of the Israeli regime.

“Today it is important that ordinary Irish people express their abhorrence for the Israeli military campaign in Lebanon and Palestine, and that we express our sympathy with the innocent civilians of all persuasions, so many of whom have tragically lost their lives over the past number of weeks.

“Given the devastating situation in Lebanon and the Middle East, the international community is indicted over its failure to seriously challenge Israel and the U.S.

“We in Ireland must do what we can to make our voice heard. I know that the views expressed by those people from Sligo who participated in today’s anti war demonstration have certainly been heard loud and clear by Mr Bloomberg and the U.S. Embassy.

“It’s important that we express our outrage at the actions of the Israeli regime and that we demand compliance with international law. We cannot continue to be among those who have settled for muted criticism of Israel and the U.S. Ireland should be leading the international response to demand peace with justice in the Middle East.”
said Mr Mulcahy.

Expressing disappointment that Sligo’s Sinn Fein councillors had attended the reception in Sligo City Hall to honour Mayor Bloomberg, Mr Mulcahy said that the Anti War movement had specifically requested public representatives not to attend any function where Mayor Bloomberg was guest of honour.

“We had hoped that the three Sinn Fein councillors would have joined in the anti war demonstration in Ballymote - it’s clear that their failure to participate in the demonstration today was designed to appease Sinn Fein’s wealthy American backers. When it comes to a choice between principles and money, principles always seem to lose out.” said Mr Mulcahy.
