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 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.

“In Gaza’s Hell”- Controversial meeting with Ewa Jasiewicz

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Saturday April 03, 2010 19:04author by Kasia Timofiejczukauthor email kasia.timofiejczuk at gmail dot com Report this post to the editors

An Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) public meeting, in Polish, with journalist and human rights activist Ewa Jasiewicz took place on Saturday 20th March 2010 in Seomra Spraoi. Ewa was speaking about her experiences in Gaza as an emergency paramedic during the Israeli massacre in Winter 2008/09.

Despite unforeseen complications caused by the unexpected decision of the Polish co-organiser to pull out at the last moment, the meeting was successful. Even though the attendance was relatively small (due in no small part to the last minute change of venue), the media commotion created in the Dublin Polish press around the meeting initiated a very important discussion about the Middle East within the Polish community in Dublin. It seems that even outside their motherland many Poles can not take part in debate on subjects considered ‘controversial’, and also as in Poland, there is a large tendency to avoid any discussion related to Palestine-Israel issue.

During the public meeting Ms Jasiewicz evoked brutal memories from the time she spent in the Gaza Strip during the 22 days of the Israeli massacre. She was one of the very few representatives of the Western media in the Gaza Strip during the Israeli offensive “Operation Cast Lead”, in which more than 1,400 Palestinians were killed, thousands were injured and became homeless.

Ms Jasiewicz described in detail the situation of a total siege from the sea and land, under which Gaza still finds itself today. Ms Jasiewicz also described war crimes committed by the Israeli army, emphasising above all attacks on the Palestinian Red Cross ambulances and its personnel, with whom she worked closely.

The eye witnessed experience was interlaced with chosen scenes from Alberto Acre’s documentary ‘To Shoot an Elephant’ about the attack, and also amateur footage made by International Solidarity Movement activists, documenting the details of ongoing unlawful shootings and harassment of Palestinian fishermen and farmers by the Israeli military, who claim they no longer ‘occupy’ Gaza.

The discussion afterwards was very positive and informative, and we were happy to learn about recent creation in Poland of a new Solidarity campaign with Palestine http://www.kampania-palestyna.pl/ , which is an equivalent of the IPSC http://www.ipsc.ie/.

Finally, the IPSC would like to thank all who attended the meeting – the very first IPSC meeting in Polish - and are very grateful to the lovely people in Seomra Spraoi for allowing us to use the venue at the last minute.

Muhammad Farmawi, a 15-year-old said to have been shot dead by the IDF during Land Day riots in Gaza on Tuesday, was reported on Saturday to be alive and well.

The Palestinian Ma’an news agency said Farmawi’s mother was surprised to find her son alive four days after he was allegedly killed. His death had been confirmed by medical professionals in the Gaza Strip.

According to the Ma’an report, Farmawi arrived in Gazan Rafah on Friday alive and well. He was discovered to be part of a group of 17 Palestinian youths who were arrested after trying to infiltrate Egypt via smuggling tunnels.

Gaza police facilitated the boys’ return to their homes.

Farmawi’s mother had “wept for days at the loss of her son,” whom she considered a martyr, Ma’an reported.

The Israeli police did not attempt to stop the settlers and asked the family of Nadia to file a complaint.

The attack against Rifqa and her daughter was caught on film, but the police did not arrest any of the assailants.
