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.

Pro-EU Propaganda in Cinemas Condemned

category national | eu | press release author Sunday August 23, 2009 15:01author by Richard Walsh - Republican Sinn Féinauthor email tiocfaidh at btinternet dot comauthor address c/- Teach Dáithí Ó Conaill, 223, Parnell Street, Dublin 1, Irelandauthor phone +44-7835 620 592 / +353-87 261 8603 Report this post to the editors

The screening of pro-EU ads in Free State cinemas has been criticised by Republican Sinn Féin.

The screening of pro-EU adverts in cinemas has been criticised as a blatant example of pressurising people into voting yes on the same Lisbon Treaty which was rejected by voters in the 26-Counties. A spokesman for Republican Sinn Féin said that they are also clearly demographically aimed at youth, where a high percentage voted against the tightening of the EU's grip.

“These talktoeu.ie advertisements claim that the cinema seats are comfortable and confectionery is safe because of the European Union. One of them also claims that you don't have to change currency any more because of the Euro. Evidently they are blissfully unaware that there are two currencies in existence within this country alone.

“This type of brainwashing and re-education by the yes side is sinister and flies in the face of a free choice on the 2nd October. Thankfully the ads are that laughable that few are likely to be convinced by them.”

If Republican Sinn Fein can produce their own cinema adverts more power to them.
Cinemas are privately run businesses and they can show what advertisements they like.
If the owners happen to pro-Lisbon and refuse to show Republican Sinn Fein adverts that is their right.
If they agree to show both pro and anti Lisbon treaty adverts that is their right too.
If it is wrong to promote a pro-Lisbon message in the cinema that it must be wrong to have pro-Lisbon adverts in newspapers, magazines or on television to hang placards from lamposts or send their spokesperson to public debates.
If you are against pro-Lisbon advertisements then they can say the same about you.
We live in an open democratic society and different views can be expressed and debated.
The people can decide on the merits or otherwise of arguments and cast their vote accordingly.
The people voted No last time and if they want to cast a No vote this time and reject the Lisbon Treaty they should be free to do so.
The No to Lisbon campaign should be relishing the chance for the Irish people to reject the Treaty for a second time.
But if attitudes have changed and it is true that the orginal No vote was due to ingnorance on the part of the Irish people, then the Yes campaign should have their bluff called.
As a voter I welcome a rerun of the Lisbon Treaty referendum.
If the general election could be rerun every day I would welcome that too.
If every government decision was debated and put to a referendum I would be all in favour.
What we need in a democratic society is more democracy.
Even if the Lisbon Treaty is passed second time around it is still a victory because the will of the people was clearly expressed.
They made the elites squirm and sit up and take notice that the people hold the power and are not mindless sheep who take orders.

But I suppose it would be okay to advertise anti-Lisbon prop, did you ever hear the song 'give out, but dont give up' ?

ehhh no, it would be only fair if the cinemas showed both pro and anti sides. BUT surprise surprise they are not Did u ever hear the expresion..... to say youre neutral in the battle between the powerful and the powerless, you are not being neutral you are in fact siding with the powerful.....
It is so obvious the YES side has the power of big business, the elites and the media oligarchies so fair play to RSF for at least highlighting this. Its not goin to win the campaign for us but at least it shows up the trolls like the other posters above and probably below now too for what they are. watery pinko liberals who think they live in a democratic society where their views will be accepted.

Would anyone actually want to see ads from a gang of extreme nationalists and isolationists like RSF (not to mention the fact that they are a mouthpiece for a sectarian murder gang called 'continuity IRA' ) when they go to relax at the cinema? It would put me off my popcorn!

"it would be only fair if the cinemas showed both pro and anti sides."
Its a paid for ad, it isn't the responsibility of the cinema to provide both sides of argument and you certainly can't expect pro-lisbonites to put anti propaganda in their own ads.
Libertas, when it was around, did the same sort of thing.

"The screening of pro-EU adverts in cinemas has been criticised as a blatant example of pressurising people"
Laughable, since when is political ads pressurising people? Are RSF campaign bunting not 'pressurising' people then?

"said that they are also clearly demographically aimed at youth"
Oh No! The scoundrels are targeting a demographic! Oh the horror, the horror....

"Evidently they are blissfully unaware that there are two currencies in existence within this country alone."
News to me.

"These talktoeu.ie advertisements claim that the cinema seats are comfortable and confectionery is safe because of the European Union"
Kinda true, alot of EU regulations are great and would never be done here because we have small minded limp wristed governance.

"This type of brainwashing and re-education by the yes side is sinister and flies in the face of a free choice "
Ok so when the argument is against you it is sinister brainwashing? And anything RSF says is truth from god himself? How exactly do political campaigns eliminate free choice?

Jim, the trouble is, we only get to vote again on results the elite are not happy with. There is a troubling reason for that. And it has little to do with real democracy. Voting again on lisbon is the opposite of democracy.
