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 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.

ALF Ireland Communique

category national | animal rights | press release author Saturday March 22, 2008 20:31author by Laura Broxson - National Animal Rights Association / CAFT Irelandauthor email naracampaigns at gmail dot comauthor address PO Box 11019, Dublin 2 Report this post to the editors

-----------------------------PRESS RELEASE----------------------------------

N.A.R.A. receives communique from ALF on Fur Farm Raid

Contact Spokesperson/Press Officer: Laura Broxson, 086 8729 444

The National Animal Rights Association has today received the official communique regarding the recent raid on Vasa Ltd. Fur Farm in Co. Laois (see below for the report). We were also told that there will be photos sent to us - which we will release as soon as we receive them.

"This is a great victory for animal rights in Ireland" Says spokesperson for N.A.R.A., Laura Broxson

"As a result of the action, 300 mink now actually have the chance to live out the rest of their lives - they're finally free.

The fur farming industry is Ireland's secret shame, we find it absolutely disgusting that there are such ''farms'' in this country.

The liberation that occurred has come at a great time too - the Government is currently drafting an Animal Welfare Bill, which could finally put an end to fur farming here, so what happened will certainly highlight the issue.

Our group doesn't encourage people to break the law or engage in any illegal activity whatsoever, but we fully support the ALF and those who are brave enough to risk their lives, and freedom, to help animals." she said.

"Animals are no different from people - they are living, breathing, sentient beings who deserve the right to life and freedom as much as we do. And I think a lot of the Irish public are finally starting to see this. There are a lot of compassionate people in this country, so we are not surprised at all by the action that took place" she added.

THE COMMUNIQUE:

---------- Forwarded message ----------

Last weekend, the Irish Animal Liberation Front visited Ireland's largest fur farm - Vasa Ltd, in Co. Laois.

The ALF made their way through the locked gate in a matter of seconds, and then the real fun started...

A quick scan of the area showed that the sheds were enclosed in an area secured by corrugated steel. No problem - a huge hole was then cut into this, the wire mesh behind it snipped, and the hedgerow behind that was then cleared - to allow the Mink easy access to the river running beside this concentration camp.

Graffiti was sprayed all around the place, including the signature ''ALF'' calling card.

300 breeding cards were removed from one of the sheds, and then destroyed.

Moving onto the next shed, 300 Mink were liberated and were then guided to freedom, before the ALF disappeared into the darkness. It was unbearable to have to leave the others behind.

Una and Michael Heffernan are responsible for murdering over 45,000 Mink on this death camp every year. It's time to make them pay for this.

The ALF will be back, Una and Michael - and don't think that the cows and horses you keep locked up too were unnoticed.

Until all are free,
ALF Ireland

Mink are wiping out birds throughout Ireland. The release of several hundred will devastate bird populations in that area for years to come. I would advise that couple to get a gun, so they can defend themselves.

a gun???? to defend themselves against the roaming mink intent on revenge?????

author by pat cpublication date Tue Nov 04, 2008 10:07author address author phone Report this post to the editors

I dont think you need a gun to defend yourself from a mink. However, Polar Bears are related to minks and basically are giant minks. If there are Polar Bears rampaging through Laois then it might be best to avoid the area.

Hmmm, how about releasing Polar Bears from Dublin Zoo and letting them loose in Laois?

I suggest u brush up on your systematics m8!! , Polar Bears are as closely related to minks as we are to Tree Shrews.

You are of course right. I meant wolverines of course. How did I get them mixed up? Err, they look a bit alike!

Anyway, lets release wolverines in Laois!

I presume the first post re Guns, was that they could be used too defend the Halligans property and lives against the ALF from attacking them.
