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.

Polish to Police Topless sunbathers (nudyści na celowniku policji)

category international | miscellaneous | other press author Saturday June 23, 2007 00:18author by telly tubby twins Report this post to the editors

Na polskie plaże, aby strzec bezpieczeństwa i porządku, właśnie wyruszyło kilkuset policjantów. Z dodatkowym zadaniem od szefów: zwracać uwagę na nudystów. - Opalanie nago w miejscach powszechnie dostępnych jest niedozwolone. Traktujemy to jako nieobyczajny wybryk, a to wykroczenie - mówi Paulina Grzesiowska z Komendy Powiatowej Policji w Nowym Dworze Gdańskim.

( Paulina Grzesiowska of the police in Nowy Dwor Gdanski which is the most popular stretch of Polish beach on the Baltic has announced new application of a law dating from the Communist regime. From now on topless sunbathers or people who bare any other bit of intimate flesh will face fines of 100 zlotys or 25 euros. Prof. Zbigniew Lew-Starowicz a noted sexologist was reported by Warsaw's "metro" newspaper as thinking they're repressed and "not winning any Blue Flags".)

Na razie policjanci wystawiają upomnienia, ale grożą też, że będą mandaty. Za opalanie się bez stanika lub bez slipek grozi nawet stuzłotowa kara. - My ich staramy się nie nękać. Ale skoro skarżą się do nas ludzie, że ktoś opala się z odsłoniętymi np. piersiami, a w pobliżu są dzieci, to musimy interweniować - przyznaje funkcjonariusz policji z komisariatu w Kątach Rybackich.

Policjanci wskazują, że nudyści mają własne wyznaczone plaże. Sęk w tym, że sami nudyści nie wiedzą do końca, które plaże oficjalnie takie są, a które nie. - Policja traktuje więc te miejsca jako dzikie, a my musimy ukrywać się w krzakach - żali się Tomasz, 32-letni prawnik z Warszawy, od dziewięciu lat nudysta. Opala się nago w stolicy nad Wisłą na jednej z trzech plaż ogólnie przyjętych, że są dla nudystów. Ale denerwują go policyjne naloty. - Pływają motorówką. Jak nas wypatrzą, trzeba uciekać, bo inaczej wlepią mandat - mówi.

Prof. Zbigniew Lew-Starowicz: - Niestety, w Polsce nie wiadomo dlaczego, nudyzm wciąż budzi zgorszenie. A problem jest duży, bo praktycznie nie ma oficjalnych plaż dla nudystów. Opalają się więc, gdzie popadnie. Apelowałbym do policji o więcej zrozumienia dla nich - mówi seksuolog.

The reason is not stretch marks, beer bellies, pendulous bits, melanomas, tattoos or shaved bits.

The Polish Reich will co-host the 2012 Eurocup for Soccer with the Ukraine but doesn't have any good stadiums & the roads are crap too & everything is crumbling post-Soviet style. It all makes sense. Honour. Pride. Vanity. But not much in the way of zlotys & a load of criminals who need teaching the old fashioned way.

of course it isn't woe really. Poland will use EU guidelines on prisoner rehabilitation to make it all squeeky clean & proper.

This may seem wholly unconnected but the enlargement process of the EU is set to
continue. The 'exhaustive 48 hours negotitians' ended with a compromise settlement
which was partly responsible for the agreed document. Two countries had brought
public objections to the table: Poland (see above) and UK (we all await the conversion
of Blair, to the New Creationist Mythology- AKA 'Muscular' Roman Catholicism).
There will be an Irish Referendum in 2008, in which Bertie's enlargment project,
he started it will gain pace. For this we expect that the issues will be diluted and no-one will know
what is beneath the dotted line. The partners in Government rigourously opposed the NICE II
project. Anyway the cabinet has been constructed in such a way that if the Green betray the
FF programme for Government , a minority will be able to continue for the remaining four years!
The Greens are actually not needed at all- just to be shafted and used for issues that FF
cannot get their heads around.
Poland has introduced the 'Lustration Law' - its a cleansing/purging of ex-communists.
They have attempted Abortion issues- and failed.
They are quietly tormenting homosexuals.
They stopped all negotiations on enlargement.

Details of the compromise which satisfyed the poison dwarfs of Europe are not published
yet. Putin , also has been remarkably quiet , given the encroachments into the former Soviet
Union territories.

48 hours of wrangling with 'the twins' and Poland has a deal!
One new referendum for the Irish (2008)
People with obvious religious and body problems , including fear of bikinis are
driving the EU.

How proud we are of our lightning negotiation team (with Charlie Mc Creevy Pulling the strings
in the rear) and France really quiet on all the weirdness.
