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

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.

Lady Macbeth Sleepwalks with Blood on her Hands

THE ongoing internment of Martin Corey is an affront to his human rights and natural justice said former hunger striker Raymond McCartney MLA last Thursday after he met with the Viceroyal of British Occupied Ireland, Theresa Villiers, to discuss his continued internment.

man to have had so much blood in him? [[/quote]]—Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene.

The ongoing internment of Martin Corey is an affront to his human rights and natural justice said former hunger striker Raymond McCartney MLA last Thursday after he met with the Viceroyal of British Occupied Ireland, Theresa Villiers, to discuss his continued internment.

63-year-old Martin Corey, who previously served almost 20 years in prison for the shooting of two paramilitary RUC men in 1972, was released on licence in 1992. The RUC at the time, were going into the homes of ordinary innocent nationalist civilians and shooting whole families dead, in an area known as the murder triangle. Martin who volunteered originally for night patrols to protect his village, realized as a result that the only defence his neighbours, had were the IRA, so he volunteered
.
Martin twenty years later after release, became self-employed and worked as a grave digger, before being interned without trial over three and a half years ago. He has not been charged with any offence and despite being entitled to annual parole hearings, has not been in front of Parole Commissioners, who decide if he should be released, for over two years. Martin's legal team say a parole hearing, due to take place a few weeks ago was once again postponed, without an alternative date being discussed.

A number of reasons given for the delay, include blaming Martin's legal team, for challenging his internment in the European Court of Human Rights, who ruled in 2012, that it was unacceptable, to deny an annual parole hearing, to anyone held in custody. The Secretary of State in a recent statement stated, ‘an individual who served a life sentence, can be returned to prison, if they pose a risk to the public or commit further offences.” Since Martin’s arrest in April 2010, he has not been charged with any crime or given any reason waht so ever, as to what risk he is to the public. He has now served the equivalent of a seven year jail sentence, without any trial, charge or explanation. This is political internment without trial.

Last year, a Belfast judge ordered Martin Corey's immediate release on unconditional bail, because he was interned on the basis of secret evidence. But while Martin waited inside at the exit entrance and his loved ones outside to be released, the heartless, unelected British Viceroyal, over-ruled the judge and ordered Martin to be interned indefinitely again.

Assembly member Raymond McCartney, said that British Viceroyal Theresa Villiers, tried to wash her hands of the case and was “of no help whatsoever” in last Thursday's meeting with her.[[quote]] [[quote]]“Martin Corey is now in prison for three and a half years without having been charged, questioned or his legal representatives shown the alleged evidence that is against him.
“His latest parole hearing has been postponed yet again. Martin Corey has had no parole hearing since 2011. His continued imprisonment is unacceptable and an affront to his human rights and natural justice.[[/quote]]

“Sinn Féin will be meeting with Justice Minister David Ford in the coming weeks to press him to bring this injustice to an end. The British Secretary of State was of no help whatsoever and attempted to wash her hands of the case.
“If there is evidence to show that Martin Corey is a risk to the public it should be put before him and his legal team so that it can be challenged. Natural justice is being denied to this man and it needs to end.”

[[/quote]]
Martin's treatment contrasts sharply with Orange Order Loyalist Stephen Irwin, perpetrator of the Greysteel Massacre who was released early on Martin's bithday after being convicted to carry out some more British State Terrorism. The British Viceroyal is attempting to provoke republicans, with the injustice of their internment without charge, and prejudiced secret evidence against Martin Corey, with the same injustice, that fuelled the conflict for more than the last 40 years. One does not have to be particularly bright to understand that enduring peace in ireland with such Britishprovocative injustice, is simply impossible, justifying massive MI5 bloated budgets, to the British taxpayer using the terrorist narrative.

[[quote]] Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty![[/quote]]
