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.

According to a Reuters report (so it must be credible :-) ... ) the Spanish gov. instructed its ambassadors to spread the word that armed Basque separatist group ETA was to blame for the Madrid bombings within hours of the attacks .....

It's clear that with the upcoming elections Aznar's party would prefer to have this perceived as an ETA job ... as the investigations proceed it's far more likely that the official finger of suspicion will end up pointing at some islamic group like Al-Qaida ...... but Aznar & Co. would prefer any such officially approved "clarification" to happen after the election ....

"Rough Translation of above link..
by BABELFISH "

That is a really crap translation. Why didn't you employ a reputable translation service ? Computers can't translate.

author by Enquirerpublication date Mon Mar 15, 2004 00:09author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Yes, of course its a rather disjointed translation. But it does give a rough outline of what happened.
The translation is not a major issue. What is now at issue is what happens next. Is there going to be some kind of enquiry? Has the policeman been suspended yet so that such an enquiry can take place? If not, why not? Anyone know how these things are investigated in Spain?

A Basque 58 y.o. woman was killed yesterday when police attacked a demonstration shooting rubber balls against people protesting for the shooting of the Basque man by a policeman on Saturday. It is reported that when police was asked to take her to the hospital they said "we don't give a dam".

Franco is still alive.

Don't be fooled, there is little difference between PP and PSOE.

What government supported GAL, the paramilitary organization set up to murder members of the Basque nationalist left wing community?: PSOE!!!!!!

PP and PSOE are the two parties alternating in the power, they back up each other and represent the same ruling class of bastards. Don't be fooled, Tony Blair is delighted that Zapatero will be in power. So is Bush. It suits perfectly. The way the attack in Madrid has been so "badly" handled by the Spanish Government was well planned by all forces involved, and it gave the EXPECTED results, yes, results that PP was expecting to achieve too with all that theatre.

My total solidarity with the People of Madrid and with the people of Euskal Herria.
The shit is not over, don't be fooled.

Paud, you moran, yes computers can't translate but then neither can I, so I'm forced to use services like Babelfish anytime I want to get a vageu notion of what texts like the above are on about.

If you can translate then why don't you fucking employ a reputable translation service? Babelfish is free and automatic, hence why i use it. Why don't you do something, get your dictionary out, instead of moaning?
