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.

Anarchist defuses potentially violent journalist

category dublin | summit mobilisations | news report author Saturday May 01, 2004 14:45author by seedot Report this post to the editors

Kn own troublemaker Brendan O'Connor on the streets of Dublin

On a sunny afternoon a journalist claims he was assaulted by a large puppet. Fortunately some anarchists were close by to defuse the situation.

Brendan O'Connor is well known to Indymedia readers as the only man in Ireland who could get into the US transporters to count the burgers. He was out looking to talk to some of the protestors on the Grassroots No Borders event this morning.

When his head was brushed by the hand of a puppet, Mr O'Connor immediately claimed he was assaulted and, in the description of one shocked anarchist who was in the area 'seemed to start foaming at the mouth'.

Despite this behaviour the protestors managed to calm the situation effectively, bringing peace and harmony to the streets of Dublin.

Oh well, that's his Sunday story then:
'Evil anarchist puppet molests journalist'

Maybe we could have a competition to see who can come up with the best title for his story.

Background to this for our Foreign Readers.

This guy was the only Irish Journalist allowed on to a US Warplane at Shannon Airport in buildup to Iraq Invasion. He claimed the planes were merely shipping Coke and Crisps (potato chips) over to the Boys in Iraq. It later emerges that the planes were carrying arms - which is contrary to Irish Law and Constitution. He is a fat professional liar and may begin eating Dublin soon if we don't watch out.

There wasn't any video of O'Connor's antics taken properly - I looked afterwards. Pity. AF gave him a mouthful of cheek but in the end it was all a load of rubbish. Using his big head to make big, empty noise as usual. O'Connor = O'Cutehoor, up from the country to lick his editor's ass and do what he's told (go and make a fool of yourself for me, Big Brendan!

Be sure of a complete lack of analysis in his article. It'll be all " Begor, the Gards are great, etc, etc, pity Donal was not there, if it was the thirties I'd have supported Mussolini, etc, etc..."

In short, it will be more empty bleating from the old folks home of tabloid disquised as broadsheet journalism, the Sindo. The place where burnt out hacks get paid to foam off at the mouth. ( except for Gene Kerrigan, who I like, not only because I aghree with him, but he actually cites cases, etc, to back up his arguments. I like right winger Andrew Sullivan, even though I don't agree with him, for same latter reason.)

It is so handy having a job where you get to write rubbish and get paid for it. But Brendan O Connor is a c---. He was seen at an early house one morning pissing everyone off, and trying to avoid paying for drinks because he was "famous" ( source ; The Slate, August 2003)

"the protestors managed to calm the situation effectively, bringing peace and harmony to the streets of Dublin. "

How? What did they do? What actually happened? Did the police laugh at Brenden when he complained?

The guy is huge, he must have looked stupid...

The media are a disgrace for the way they have tried to manufacture the news. That fat git was going out of his way to provoke people. Yes, he was promoting the establishment agenda, but he is only the tip of the iceberg of lazy quisling journalists who have the moral standards of sewer rats.

I hope I am not being unfair to real rats.
