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

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.

Mr. Hanlon: Gentlemen, Ladies et al: We understand why President Bush could and or should - in the view of some - become a target for assassination on arriving Shannon Jun 25 for EU meetings on Jun. 26-29 because of his full support of assassination and all those he illegally killed and his total rejection of International Law, Geneva Conventions and the U.N. Charter and its resolutions. But we see no valid reason for your protecting Bush from seeing the expected public demonstrations against his illegal use of military force and illegal support of Israel rather than law and diplomacy. By U.N. votes, the "World of Peoples" for 37 years have condemned the Israeli illegal occupations dispossessions of Goyem "untermenschen" to create "lebensraum" for" God's Chosen" who, like Bush, think they are above the law of the World of Nations. It is past time that Bush learn that his denial of law and God given rights makes him Hitler II who will be removed.

I back this by other opinion below and IMPERIAL HUBRIS by 'Anonymous' (Current Senior Official) who claims America losing....Bush told he is playing into Bin Laden's hands. So he is!

See: Target Zone: "Friday 25th June 2004 20.15 Arrival of US President George Bush - Photo Opportunity at Shannon Airport 20.35 Taoiseach greets President Bush - Photo Opportunity at Dromoland Castle Note: Those covering the arrival at Shannon Airport will be unable to cover the arrival at Dromoland Castle" The issues under discussion are expected to be: the fight against international terrorism; Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan; Middle East Peace Process and relations with the wider Mediterranean and Middle East; the non-proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction;

Youssef M. Ibrahim: Said: "US should clean own backyard before preaching to others. A lot more America must do before it has the gall to preach democracy to Arabs and Muslims, otherwise, its "initiative" honourable in its own right, will be laughed off the stage at the G-8 Summit Meetings.." Youssef M. Ibrahim, former M. E. correspondent, NY Times and Energy Ed. Wall Street Journal, is Managing Dir. Dubai-based Strategic Energy Investment Group. He can be contacted at ymibrahim@gulfnews.com
Ibraham also wrote "It is vital that Washington understand, it cannot consider the Shiites of Iraq an independent, national body. Shiism, forged during more than 1,500 years of persecution at the hands of the Islamic world's Sunnis, is phenomenon that transcends borders and domestic politics. – My modest advice to American authorities is not to get in the way if Mr. Sadr manages to carve a role for himself in a democratic Iraq. Any hopes for a secular Iraq should also be abandoned — the Shiites will dominate by force of numbers. At:

They should realise that killing Arafat will be just another murder. It will not bring the Palestinian people down to their knees. It is not working in Iraq, and it will not work in Palestine. "

Folks: Demonstrate against Bush at: http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=65638
My expressed opinions are parallel and equal to those experts above and others of like high repute. Obvious, Bush and his religio-political Evaangelical Zionist Judeo-Christian cabal have set out to take over the world and must be crushed as I and others did to Hitler et al. Cheers.
