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.

offsite link AI Reach: Gemini Reasoning Question of God Sat Aug 02, 2025 20:00 | Mind Agent
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

offsite link China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
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.

José Vosé activist with Confederación Campesina detained in France.

category international | environment | news report author Monday June 23, 2003 14:11author by iosaf ipsiphi o' as if - reading news reports and giving you the news. Report this post to the editors

Sunday morning at 6am he was arrested at his farm and taken to Montpellier by helicopter.

José Bové is an ecologist and anti-capitalist/anti-globalist activist.

This is a "genetix snowball" type problem with a "French" twist.
read on....

In 1999 he was sentenced to 6 months for his part in an attack on a McDonalds Food Corporation Hunger outlet. He served only 44 days of that sentance after winning a presidential pardon which granted reprieve on the end of the sentance.

But two further sentances hung unserved.

In 1998 he attacked (with others, and with lots of internatiopnal support) fields of transgenetic Maize [corn] and in 1999 he attacked transgenetic Rice seeds.

He has ten months outstanding sentance to serve for these "offences".

His group hopes that their petition will win another Presidential pardon on July 14th.

However after yesterday's raid on his farm in which 80 armed gendarmes grabbed him, it seems likely that France is about to change it's own rules on transgenetic foods, crops and seeds.

This ought be of serious concern to all activists in Ecological and anti-Genetic circles.

Objet : Barcelona 2004
dimanche 15 février 2004


Monsieur,


La volonté de Barcelona 2004 de travailler en étroite collaboration avec de nombreuses multinationales dont les politiques me parait de nature à orienter les débats et les travaux dans une direction incompatible avec la mise en place d'un développement économique respectueux des sociétés et de leur environnement naturel.

Deux d'entre elles en particulier, Coca-cola et Nestlé, ont été et sont toujours fortement critiquées pour leur indifférence par rapport aux impacts négatifs que leur recherche avide de profits ont sur les petits et moyens paysans du monde entier. L'exemple de l'usine de mise en bouteille de Coca-cola à Plachimada, dans l'état du Kerala dans le sud de l'Inde est révélateur du peu de cas que cette compagnie fait des ressources locales en eau. Nestlé pour sa part investit agressivement dans le secteur des eaux minérales sans porter la moindre attention à l'augmentation inutile des transports de marchandises.

D'autres multinationales qui appuient Barcelona 2004 se sont également retrouvées en confrontation directe avec des organisations et des associations partenaires de la Confédération paysanne depuis de nombreuses années.

Le patronage ostentatoire de ces entreprises avec lesquelles nous sommes en conflit ne me permet pas de répondre favorablement à l'invitation que vous m'avez faite de participer au Dialogue "Water for Life and Security".

Par conséquent et afin de lever toute ambiguïté, je vous serai reconnaissant de ne plus me faire figurer dans la liste des personnalités invitées, indiquée sur le document que Barcelona 2004 diffuse actuellement sur son site Internet.

Je vous prie d'agréer l'expression de ma considération distinguée.

José Bové
