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 3All going the way the Coup leaders want. Street Fighters surplus to requirements will be liquidated.
Ukrainian nationalist group Right Sector has announced it holds the acting Interior Minister Arsen Avakov accountable for the death of notorious radical militant Aleksandr Muzychko and will avenge it, Ukrainian media reports.
“We will take revenge on Arsen Avakov for the death of our brother,” said Rovno coordinator of the Right Sector Roman Koval, as cited by charivne.info news portal. “The shooting of Sashko Bilyi [Muzychko’s nom de guerre] is an assassination ordered by the minister. Muzychko never received any notices concerning criminal offences and was never summoned anywhere.”
Its highly likely Muzychko assassination was ordered by the coup handlers in Washington and NATO because not because he was a thug and Nazi and threatening officials with his AK-47 for they don't really mind these things, but where he crossed the line was that he did this on camera and the numerous videos and images of him doing this spread like wildfire and ultimately it was disturbing the PR machine.
Since most of what has happened in the past few weeks whereby the USA and EU organised violent fascists thugs to seize power and kill quite a number of people along the way, and then put into power members of this gang and a number of oligarchs, the way it has been presented in the Western media using blatant lies by a large number of politicians, officials and other mouthpieces of the corrupt Western political system to present this as a democratic transfer of power, has led to such blaring cracks in this PR stunt with the likes of Muzychko and numerous other thugs on camera, has led to some of the normally gullible public to question what is actually going on. It is vital for the coup organisers that they keep control of the shaping of public opinion because it is this which allows them to carry out these coups and allow them to carry out their crimes -one being the hiring and use of snipers to kill people on both sides so as to create a pretext for what happened.
Based on this we can expect that either some more of the worst elements of the Right Sector and other Nazis groups to be either eliminated or they might actually cop on and keep a low profile from now on. It has been impossible up to now for the West to pretend the cabal of fascists and oligarchs in power who intend to privatize much of Ukraine and strip it of assets and further impoverish the people, to present them as legitimate. This intense PR battle may explain why the media has been so hysterical lately in terms of the way they were foaming at the mouth over Crimea and other things.
For the West (i.e USA and EU), Right Sector are expendable tools. They needed the thugs for the violence on the streets and the mechanics of the seizing of power. Now that Nuland -i.e Washington has their man "Yats" in power, the real business of destroying the country and at the same time hitching it up to NATO is for the big men. But the fascists are not quite at the end of their shelf life yet, because big austerity cuts are on the way, pensions to be cut by 50%, massive health and education cuts are on the way, gas prices are to go up at least 40% and probably more and electricity prices will follow, since gas is used for electricity generation.
The farmland in Western Ukraine which previously could not be sold to foreigners, now can and this will be taken over by Western agribusiness and their main aim is to push GM crops. The agricultural land in Western Ukraine is famously some of the most fertile land in the world. There is already talk of handing over the entire gas pipeline infrastructure to the US energy giant, Chervon -well technically it will be sold but after the currency is allowed float which will mean it will become worthless because the country is broke and they will pick it up for nothing. It will take awhile, but the population in Ukraine are not going to like any of this and they will try to resist and this is where the fascists neo Nazi come back on stage. They will form the backbone of the new 'National Guard' which they are currently creating and basically they will be used to beat to death if necessary anyone who objects to this huge theft of Ukraine.
It is ironic that the US ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power outrageously accussed Russia of theft over the Crimea -where the population willingly voted to rejoin Russia -and they also did back in 1991, yet the US and its allies are carrying out real theft themselves. But it is often the case that your enemy accuses you of the things that they are about to do to you.
