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.

Norway-Afghan Hunger Strikers

Afghan hunger strikers against deportation

( I saw this posted on UK Indymedia)

Norway: Afghan refugees on hungerstrike

After a demo on 22 of may, afghan refugees are escalating with a hungerstrike their protests against the decision of the norwegian government for their immediate deportaton to afghanistan.

26 May: 23 Afghan refugees started a hunger-strike in a central park in Oslo.
More refugees are expected to join the hunger-strike within the next days.

More than 800 Afghan refugees were marching in Oslo streets. There were also many Norwegian, Pakistani, Iranian and Kurdish activists, despite the weather that was so bad and raining.

There were also another 4 demos in the north and south of Norway. Pepole from many refugee camps participated in these demonstrations.

The refuges said:
"We said if the Gov don't comply our demands we will start massive hunger strike.
We will continue the protest until we succeed in our demands.
Our demand is to live safely somewhere in this world.
We need your support."

Initial Declaration

We will prevent the deportation of 2000 afghan refugees

The Norwegian government, Afghan government and UNHCR, have recently signed an agreement to send back Afghanistan refugees, and the Norwegian government declared that if Afghan refugees do not return to their country voluntarily until 26 of May the Norwegian police will deport them by direct flight. There was a similar agreement on August 2005, which resulted in a series of Afghan Refugees demo.

To oppose and condemn this inhuman agreement
and because Afghanistan is not safe and every day tens of people lose their life because of the ongoing war countrywide, because Afghanistan government is made of war criminals, Islamic fundamentalists and big drug dealers, because there is no freedom of thought and belief and the communists and atheists are clearly deprived of their right to life constitutionally , because the women, in the law and daily life, are the zero level citizens , because we do not want to return to the hand of our killers….

And toward reaching these aims:
• Immediately stop of deportation program
• The right to stay here for all afghan refuges that were waiting for so many yeas in the refugee camps
• The right of learning and going to school for all of those who are waiting for their answers,

We will organize the following:
• Boycotting the UDI’s information meeting in all refugee camps around the country
• Demonstrating in Oslo, from communal department toward Afghanistan embassy with a short stop in front of the parliament on 22 of May, 12 to 15
• Playing street theatre during the 22 of may demo

If the Norwegian government do not comply with our demands, before reaching the deadline (26 of May), we will start massive hunger strike (hundreds of refugees) with no time limitation.

At least 60 afghan refugees are continuing the hunger strike in front of the Cathedral of Oslo.

The norwegian government has threatened to stop violently the refugees' hunger strike for sanitary reasons, since they only had one toilet in the open air where the hungerstrikers stay. The refugees were determined to go on with their protests, and the government did not proceed with any violent actions yet.

The strikers have said they'd rather die in Norway than be sent back to the uncertainty and dangers of life in Afghanistan.

At five o'clock yesterday morning the police raided the camp of the hungerstrikers, tearing down all their tents and stole all the blankets and sleeping bags. The hungerstrike continues.

The norwegian gouvernment have five hundred troops occupying Afghanistan, destroying the country. And the gouvernment refuse to help the victims. It's totally sickening.

Here's a movie about what happened yesterday morning. Some of it is in norwegian, but most in english. U can watch it at: http://spisderike.net/video/40/

author by Ahmad Alipublication date Tue Jun 20, 2006 04:25author address author phone Report this post to the editors

My name is Ahmad Ali, an Afghan asylum-seeker living in japan.There is a very small group of Afghan asylum-seekers,probably less than 20 people here in Japan.Japan has also a very tough and strict policy against asylum-seekers,and in the past few years they detained most of the asylum-seekers arbitrarely, and that caused the asylum-seekers to return their home against their wishes,and there is no news if what happened to those who were returned,probably some were detained in Afghanistan,some killed and some left the country once again.
We seriously condemn the wrong and unfair desicion of Norwegian government for forcible deportation of Afghan asylum-seekers.
We sincerely request UNHCR,human rights organaizations,Norwegian people to ask the Norwegian government to change their mind,and give value to the lives of hundreds of human beings, and not deport them against their willings.
We also hope japan would change its tough and inhuman policy and give residence and protection to these small number of helpless asylum-seekers in Japan.
