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.

UCD a Cold House for Caleb Charles McCarry and U.S plans for Cuba.

A Deflated McCarry Gets An Escort Out .

Caleb McCarry is the senior U.S. official responsible for U.S. government planning to support a "transition to democracy" in Cuba through the President's Commission for Assistance to a "Free" Cuba.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice chairs the Commission for Assistance to a "Free" Cuba and named Mr. McCarry as Transition Coordinator in July 2005. The Transition Coordinator reports to the Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs on a day-to-day basis and to the Secretary of State on important policy matters.

McCarry previously served on the majority professional staff of the International Relations Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Shortly after two o'clock today, Caleb McCarry visited the UCD arts block to give a talk on the invitation of the UCD Politics department. About 50 people-the great bulk of whom were protestors-turned out to see him.

The speaker from the UCD politics department welcomed those present to an "academic meeting". She introduced Celeb-now looking a bit concerned-on behalf of UCD and said that the university was delighted altogether to have him out.

Less keen on Caleb was a protestor in the front row who said "This man expects to find himself as governor general of Cuba”. The material being circulated by the Free the Miami Five campaign and the Cuban solidarity group reminded those present of what such a prospect might mean.

Some of the protestors held signs on the effects of the US blockade of Cuba. Other placards highlighted the acts of terrorism carries out by US government against the Cuban people. UCD students from a range of political groups were present. Eirigi, Labour Youth and Orga Sinn Fein were all well represented. There was alsoa a decent turnout of non aligned activists and some activists from the UCD SIPTU branch. The protestor’s numbers were swollen by friends of the Cuban people and members of the Communist party of Ireland.

The staff member introducing Caleb alluded to the "outsiders". The "outsiders" responded saying that they were taxpayers, graduates, concerned citizens and activists opposed to US aggression in Latin America. They asked the others in the room to remember that UCD did not exist in a bubble and that universities could not isolate themselves from society. One protestor insisted that the academics present remember the victims of US aggression in Latin American universities.

Things started to heat up when a CPI activist declared from the back "there will be no meeting here today". Another activist in the back row threw stink bombs. There was roaring and shouting as altercations broke out between some members of the UCD academic community and protestors. "We are here to develop or critical capacities" said one academic. There was discussion and debate amongst protestors as to the tactics that ought to be adapted, some insisting that they would like to question Caleb, others insisting he should never have been invited out to speak in the first place.

The staff member in charge then announced that the meeting would be postponed. With that in came the Gards to escort Caleb. There was much jeering as Caleb was led away under escort.

An eagle eyed activist reportedly witnessed the handing over of Caleb from the care of the Gardai to the care of the US marines.

One thing is for certain-Caleb got a warmer reception when he met officials from the Department of foreign affairs earlier today. One wonders whet they made of his plans for a “free” Cuba.
