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
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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8An ex-MP, one week short of his eightieth birthday, remains in an Israeli jail as of this morning after fellow protestors were released
The link to the Globe piece is broken or else the editors of the Globe have decided they don't want to cover that story.
Meanwhile here is a press release covering the same:
Montreal, 20121021-11h45
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition is concerned about the treatment of the Estelle crew by Israeli authorities.
The Estelle was attacked by the IDF at 10AM local time on Saturday.
Eighteen hours later the crew had still to meet consular representatives or lawyers. Circulating reports about theuse of force and tasers during the attack on the Estelle increase our worries about the well-being of the crew members.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition is also concerned about reports that Israeli crew members were transferred to Ashkelon prison and will face persecution.
“Despite the confirmed deportation of some of the crew members (from Greece and Italy) we are deeply concerned about the continuing detention of the others, including Jim Manly,” said Ehab Lotayef, noting Manly is a former Canadian MP (1980-88) and retired United Church Minister.
“We call on all governments to increase pressure on the Israeli government to ensure the Estelle crew are treated with dignity, that their rights as non-violent protesters be respected and that they all be released immediately,” said Lotayef.
even in the camps the prisoners were allowed to make music - but shitty little Israel seems to hate the fact that Palestinian children might make music
I see we have a poster from an American Holocaust denial site being displayed.
good poster though isn't it?. Are you denying that this is true about the musical instrument ban?
Or are you trying to smear the poster because you cannot attack the truth of the FACTS it is highlighting?
Just goes to show you, even nasty holocaust deniers can still create a poster that presents some damning concrete facts about the stupidity of israeli policy in a very striking fashion!
from the usual suspects.
Never can pass up an opportunity to use the Holocaust for political gain
That's one of the main reasons that more and more people are beginning to despise the Zionists -
Wolfhound thinks that just by posting about "Denial" he can distract people from the fact that Israel likes to punish little children and make their lives as miserable as possible
Not only are Palestinian children not allowed musical instruments but the Israelis make sure that they do not receive enough food either
This is after they actually made the cold-blooded calculation of the absolute minimum calorie requirements (something the Nazis also did to camp inmates) but then made sure prevent many food shipments getting through, making ti impossible to provide the calculated minimum that they themselves acknowledged.
So essentially they are deliberately attempting to create malnutrition amongst the captive Palestinian population they have penned into the largest prison camp in the world.
IMHO the Nazis would look at the Israelis and say "wow I wish we could have got away with that without being criticised by the US"
Israel is a VERY sick society
He's trying to smear the poster because he cannot attack the truth of the FACTS
The Zio-racists are getting desperate.
It's bad alright when even when the Zio-racists scream "Denier" the Zionists still look like the bad guys
So it's ok to trawl through American ( labor ! ) White Power and conspiracy theory sites just as long as the link is only to something nasty about the Jews ? Well, FYI, there were no " orchestras" in the death camps...music was played as the trains decanted their soon-to-be murdered passengers...to give a soothing impression !
Secondly, Hamas has banned music in Gaza as un-Islamic...and music shops have been firebombed. Hamas are islamists...not Islamic.
