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.

Shell claims Corrib workers being intimidated
Last updated: 19-07-05, 16:27

Shell Ireland has alleged that a number of workers on its Corrib gas project in Co Mayo have received threats of violence in an increasingly bitter row over the construction of a gas pipeline.

A Shell spokeswoman claimed its workers in Rossport had reported "a number of instances of intimidatory behaviour" by third parties.

"We have advised our employees that if they have been subject to intimidatory behaviour or threats, these instances should be reported to the local gardai," she said.

The Garda Press Office told ireland.com it could not confirm whether or not gardai had recieved any complaints about threats or intimidation.

Independent Mayo TD Dr Jerry Cowley said he "totally refutes" Shell's claims of intimidation. "All these stories of threats and IRA are just plain nonsense," he told ireland.com. "This is a peaceful protest, there are no threats whatsoever. It's pure propaganda by Shell."

Shell Exploration & Production Ireland is embroiled in a dispute with Rossport residents over the safety of the pipeline, which it plans to run inland for 9km (5.5 miles) to a processing plant.

Residents, who are concerned about the high-pressure pipeline running past their homes, want Shell to process the gas on an offshore shallow water platform instead.

Shell has said the €300 million pipeline meets stringent safety regulations and will be built to "world-class standards".

Five men are still in jail for contempt of court after refusing not to obstruct the laying of the pipeline through their lands.

Shell has urged "meaningful and constructive dialogue" to resolve the situation.

Subject: Funny How Willingly Repeated Propaganda Can Backfire When You Hide Behind a Subscriber Wall

Hello Madam,

Have you seen this example of backfiring Shell Oil propaganda. Do take the time to read the comments and let it sink in. Note this is global google in english language on a search for 'Shell Oil'
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=70979

Anyone who really thought their job had something to do with journalism would be looking at this kind of thing in the link below rather than smearing people with lies from the Dutch Royal family.

Oh but I forgot - they're your advertisers.

Yours sincerely,
