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.
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.
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
China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy This story is unverified but it is very instructive of what will happen when cash is removed

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. The Saker >>

Polish fascists blocked, bloodied and beaten
.
 Fot. Slawomir Kamilski / Agencja Gazeta A little background
11, 000 on 11.11.11, or so went the call put out by Polish fascists on the 93rd anniversary of Polish Independence. Having ceased to exist from the end of the 18th century till the end of the 1st world war, partitioned by Prussia, the Austro-Hapsburg empire and Imperial Russia, Poland, like many other European countries, has seen a resurgence of the far-right in recent years. By the end of today's events, everybody in Poland saw the true face of Polish fascists, their gratuitous violence and bile clear for all to see, despite their attempts at watered down rhetoric.
Semi-disclaimer/Personal Involvement Do not take the following account as the be all and end all of what happend at today's demo. I joined the anti-fascist blockade in Warsaw, as part of an affinity group, mainly made up of members of the syndicalist trade union ZSP (Polish Syndicalist Union - http://zsp.net.pl/english). Our initial aim was to remain mobile, avoid being corralled by cops, so as to form alternative blockades if the planned fascist route was diverted. In the end we fell into the front line to ensure sufficient strength was present to repel any attacks from our alien nemesis. The anti-fascist coalition had called for the blockers and other
protestors to take position at 12 noon, so we had plenty of time to
prevent people from getting to the fascist march assembly point.
I wasn't involved in organising the general blockade, nor am I active with the radical anti-fa groups (http://antifa.bzzz.net). I didn't throw any bottles, bricks, flowers, dirty socks at any numbskulls, but along with the rest of my comrades I mainly stayed put on the frontline on one side of the blockade to ensure no degenerates accessed Plac Konstytucji, where they were due to march from at 3pm. At the beginning we floated and supported forcing back right wing nationalists from breaching the blockade.
Apart from being on the front line, I spent a lot of the time keeping my comrades informed through twitter updates posted by the anti-fa coalition, translating for German colleagues who had joined our group.
Polish fascist groups (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_right_in_Poland)
First of all, I would like to warn you that if you visit the following Polish fascist websites then you should have either a basin at hand (to puke in) or a punching bag to vent your justified anger. In recent years, groups like All Polish Youth/MW (http://www.polish-youth.org/), National Radical Camp (http://www.onr.h2.pl/), National Revival of Poland/NOP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Revival_of_Poland / http://www.nop.org.pl/) amongst other bonehead neo-nazi and far right wingers (Combat 18/Blood and Honour, who are illegal in Poland, and Slavic supremacists Niklot ) have strived to become a little fascist-lite, dropping their public seig heils in order to draw more mainstream right wing support and dupe the naive.
This has proved rather successful, with their march endorsed by mainstream political parties like the New Right (weirdos who thinks Jesus should be king of Poland), to high-profile journalists like Rafal Ziemkiewicz (a broadcaster with public TV, author and journalist with leading right-wing newspaper Rzeczpospolita {The Republic} and magazine Uważam Rze [I believe that). They also got support from nut job public tv talk show host Jan Pospieszalski (who eerliy looks like Berlusconi), as well as football hooligans with an axe to grind against Poland's Civic Platform gvt. and the police.
Today's demonstration and blockade
The day started badly for the anti-fa side, as 3 bus loads of German activists (http://www.newpolandexpress.pl/polish_news_story-3705-a..._.php) were corralled by cops early on, 1 km from the organised anti-fa bockade point. This came after they clashed with 'patriotic' numbskulls who were en route to drool on their Hitler emblazoned underpants at Roman Dmowski's monument. Dmowski (1864-1939) is the godfather of the Polish far-right and anti-semites and most of today's Polish far-right wing groups are his vile spawn.
The guts of 2,000-3,000 anti-fascists took part in a disciplined and very successful blockade on Marszalkowska avenue, blocking the fascist's legal, planned route from marching through the centre of the capital where they intended on masquerading their politics of hatred. It's hard to estimate how many assembled to take part in their Independence Day march, but it may have been as many as 3,000. It's equally hard to estimate how many of these are involved politically with right-wing groups. Looking at TV footage this evening, once can certainly see very few brown shirts but football scarves are in abundance. It would seem that both hooligans and the cops saw today as an opportunty to flex their muscles 8 months before EURO 2012 kicks off.
As one may expect, they don't like Jews very much. Indeed, one of their banners asked: Is Poland to become the next Palestine? Which I guess means that we are all going to be ethnically cleansed some time soon. Ironically, a Jewish youth org. pulled out of the anti-fa's 11th of November Coalition in opposition to the inclusion of the Free Palestine movement, citing that they did not want to partake in a demo with Arab terrorist supporters. A very interesting reply was penned by the Polish Palestinian Campaign and is worth reading (http://www.kampania-palestyna.pl/index.php/2011/11/08/w...lent/).
The police had at least 4 water cannons in the area and used one
against the fascists. They had 2 LARD vehicles (Long range acoustic
device - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Range_Acoustic_Device) which I
think were brought or first revealed in or around Obomba's visit
earlier this year. Tear gas was used, as was pepper spray. By 6pm 21
people had been taken to hospital for injuries sustained during the
fight.
Tv and radio transmission vans were set alight by the great
patriots who proved they adore free speech so much. While I was waiting
on the platform to take the metro home, a bunch of fascists on the other
platform attacked anti-fascists boarding the metro, much to the disgust
and shock of passengers.
It's a welcome change that the cops didn't side with the fascists as they have done in previous years, arresting anti-fa acivists blockading or not intervening when fascists use violence. At least police officer took his frustration out at a right-wing rioter by punching him in the crotch (http://wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/wiadomosci/12,114927,106314....html). Hopefully this has helped his sperm realise that it ain't a good idea to produce any hate-filled balls of shite.
Anyhow, Poland is a more wonderful place today due to the success of our blockade.And, Ireland won today against Estonia, guaranteeing their place in the Euro championships starting next June. So don't be put off by what I have written or the photos you have seen. For every fascist, there are legions of us anti-fascists. Nie Przyjedziecie! No Pasarαn! They shall not pass!
