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.

Zionist thug attacks peace art.

Israeli government officials praise vandalism

Israel's ambassador to Sweden, Zvi Mazel, violently expressed his rage at an attempt by Jewish Israeli artist Dror Feiler to explore understanding of the reactions of Palestinians to Israeli occupation and ongoing colonization of their land.

A work of art by Jewish Israeli artist Dror Feiler, located in the courtyard of Stockholm's Museum of National Antiquities, was physically attacked Saturday by Israel's ambassador to Sweden, Zvi Mazel. The artwork, titled 'Snow White and the Madness of Truth', displayed a picture of Hanadi Jaradat, the 29-year-old Palestinian lawyer and mother of two who blew herself up in the Haifa suicide bombing in October which killed 21 Israelis. Apparently enraged at any attempt to ask *why* a successful, educated young mother such as Jaradat would attack Israelis, the ambassador ripped out electrical wires, grabbed a spotlight and hurled it into a fountain. He then verbally attacked the artist, declaring him to be 'anti-semitic' and that he was ashamed that Feiler was a Jew. Feiler said. 'We see this as an offensive assault on our right to express our thoughts and feelings. Mazel tried to stop free speech and free artistic expression from being carried out in Sweden.'

The attack happened at the opening of Making Differences, held as part of an upcoming international conference on genocide. Israeli foreign ministry spokesman David Saranga said that the exhibit broke an understanding that the scope of the conference would not include the ongoing Israeli colonization of Palestinian land. The existence of such an agreement regarding a conference on genocide is strange, as many of the inhabitants of Israel have been both victims and perpetrators of genocide.

Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon and other members of the Israeli government praised the attack on Sunday. Ambassador Mazel and Prime Minister Sharon apparently remain unaware of their own inadvertent contribution to the impact of Feiler's art in revealing the truth about Israel's actions against the Palestinian people in the occupied territories.
