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.

The Covid response was not an error, and it was not the result of rushing to counter an unknown pathogen. It was a lot of people, mostly professionals, systematically doing what they knew was wrong, says Dr David Bell.

Army Incursions in Nablus, West Bank

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Wednesday October 22, 2003 10:51author by Aron Bakerauthor email baker_aron at hotmail dot comauthor address Balatta Refugee Camp Nablusauthor phone 087 2895036 Report this post to the editors

Army activity in Nablus during last 24 hours

Wed 22 Nablus
Last night while the army invaded Ramallah, Beir Zeit, Tulkarem, many parts of the Gaza strip and other ares, the army also came to Balatta camp. They drove in, atleast 3 vehicles approaching from both directions, shooting. We approached their position near the entrance and spread out across the street, blocking their line of fire up the main street of Balatta, and any attempt to drive up through the camp again after awhile we sat down, now 4 of us with 2 standing on the side. The army proceeded to fire some warning shots towards and some rubber bullets in our direction but nobody was hit. Then I moved to the street side also, getting very nervous, leaving 3 sitting across the street about 70 metres from the army humvees and jeeps. Boys threw stones at the jeeps and someone threw a small explosive device at them, making the humvee pull back, causing no damage, as is usually the case. After awhile we all moved to the side where the army shot 3ft over our heads, puncturing an overhead awning. We think there may have been some light firing from the fighters. We heard this morning that 1 Palestinian was injured, Ahmed Atieraweh . We also had reports last night of the army occupying 2 houses on Jeruaslem st. The army stayed for around 2 hours before leaving. F16s buzzed over continuously Monday and Tuesday.
We have had reports of prolonged shooting in the old city during the night and 1 man being shot and arrested.
This morning we believe 1 ISMer was arrested while attempting to cross a checkpoint, soldiers accusing him of touching the fence around Itamar, we think maybe they have mixed him up with the other person photographed with me yesterday, as they look similar.
We are also recieving reports of the immenient demolition of Abu Iaids house in Jbarra, in the "Seam Zone", where we had a presence recently untill it became even hardier to enter the seam zone.
