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.

The Yorkshire Ripper revisited

category galway | rights, freedoms and repression | opinion/analysis author Thursday September 28, 2006 22:50author by Ingrid555 Report this post to the editors

The REAL Yorkshire Ripper was an Irishman who was commuting from Ireland to Yorkshire and then returning to Ireland before the bodies were discovered.

Ireland's revenge on England. The REAL Yorkshire Ripper has damaged the fabric of English society far more than the Provo bomb squads ever did in the 1970s.

==============================================
The more you examine the Yorkshire Ripper case, the more everything points to the most audacious and most blatant and most impudent police cover up in all of British history, from the Bow Street Runners all the way up to the present PC idiocy.

Lately I've had another look at the book by Roger Cross, rushed into print after the phoney Peter Sutcliffe trial in 1981 to cash in on the fake media hype.

Roger Cross was chief crime reporter for the Yorkshire Post and the son of a senior policeman, so he was hardly going to rock the boat. His book fully supports the Peter Sutcliffe myth. Yet, the case for Peter Sutcliffe being the Yorkshire Ripper is so hopelessly flawed that even Roger Cross could not help giving the game away now and then.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 120
"George Oldfield and other senior officers had insisted that no details of the victims' injuries other than the barest outline should be disclosed, on the ground that a 'copycat' killer might try to emulate the Yorkshire Ripper."

COMMENT: Serial killers are known to be serial killers only because they want to be so known, and so they leave their own 'trademarks' on their victims bodies or nearby. Because Oldfield was releasing few details, Peter Sutcliffe had no way of knowing the trademarks of the Yorkshire Ripper. Sutcliffe killed about five women during those years. Following the discovery of the bodies of his three most prominent victims - Yvonne Pearson, Margo Walls, Jacqueline Hill - the West Yorkshire Police stated - quite truthfully - that these were NOT Ripper killings, because they did not bear the trademarks of the Yorkshire Ripper.
Peter Sutcliffe was desperate to get himself arrested. The West Yorkshire Police wanted nothing to do with him, so in his determination to get arrested he displayed fake number plates in a red light district in Sheffield, outside the West Yorkshire jurisdiction, in a place well known to the police as a location for prostitutes to do business in cars, and with the fake number plates crudely and visibly taped over his real number plates. This was the action of a desperate, wimpish emotional cripple, anxious to get himself into institutional care. It does not fit the profile of the Yorkshire Ripper, who was - and still is today - a cunning, calculating and clever man, fully controlled, and aware that he is the intellectual superior of the police. The Yorkshire Ripper was dancing rings around the West Yorkshire Police, and they knew that they had little or no hope of ever catching him. So they jumped at the chance of browbeating the emotionally crippled Sutcliffe into confessing to all the murders, in return for the promise of a comfortable room in a luxury mental home.
They'd had plenty of practice at that sort of thing. See the story of Dick Holland and what he did to Stefan Kiszko. So Peter Sutcliffe was a pushover for these bent coppers - George Oldfield, Dick Holland, Jim Hobson. Hence their nervous, guilty, fake smiles at that infamous press conference in January 1981.
Their fake smiles kept dropping and giving way to worried frowns, so the TV crew had to shout at these bent coppers:
"KEEP SMILING ! CAN YOU ALL SMILE !"
George Oldfield, Ronald Gregory and Jim Hobson smiled again.
But anyone who knew anything about body language knew what was going on at that press conference.

-----------------------------------

Page 207
"A blood test late in the afternoon (Saturday, 3 January 1981) had shown Sutcliffe to be the rare B group." (Elsewhere Roger Cross indicated it was B non-secretor.)

COMMENT: It is clear from the ongoing narrative in the book by Roger Cross that he was saying the blood sample was taken from Sutcliffe and tested there and then on late Saturday afternoon, 3 January 1981, just after the Christmas / New Year extended holiday. (In England it is normal for employees, especially 'public sector' workers, to take a long break at this time of the year, often finishing work on 23 December and not returning until well into the first week of January.)
Perhaps someone with knowledge of police stations can clarify this. Did Dewsbury police station in 1981 have facilities for establishing the blood type of a suspect there and then, and on a late Saturday afternoon as bleary-eyed public servants were groggily stagerring back to work after the season's festivities?
---------------------
Whatever about that, Noel O'Gara has reliable evidence that Peter Sutcliffe's blood type is O. The West Yorkshire Police had issued an internal police memorandum stating that suspects could be eliminated from the enquiry if their blood type was not B. After the emotionally crippled woman hater Peter Sutcliffe forced the police to arrest him and showed a willingness to confess to some of the killings, and to be browbeaten into confessing to all of them, there was a need to make the pieces fit as much as feasible. Sutcliffe's perceived blood type was crucial to establishing the myth that he was the Yorkshire Ripper.
There is an obvious need for credible independent verification of Peter Sutcliffe's blood type.

==================================================

The more you look at the Yorkshire Ripper case - with open eyes - the more everything stacks up as pointing to the most outrageous and most far-reaching police corruption case in the history of British policing, all the way from the Bow Street Runners up to the current politically correct imbecility.
The Yorkshire Ripper cover up is unique in its magnitude and its epoch-making implications.
Consider what has happened:
The Chief Constable of West Yorkshire, Ronald Gregory, made a conscious decision to call off the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper because he found it convenient to accept confessions to all the killings from the emotionally crippled Peter Sutcliffe. Thus the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire and other senior officers, notably George Oldfield, Dick Holland and Jim Hobson, are accessories to the numerous murders of women in England committed by the Yorkshire Ripper in the twenty-five years that have elapsed since the phoney Peter Sutcliffe trial in 1981.

This is big, really big - the most outrageous police corruption scandal in all of British history.
