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. The Saker >>

 Caption: Illustration generated by ChatGPT abstractly capturing the themes of this discourse. Preamble
There is not a man woman and precocious kid from time immemorial, and not a conscious mind in the universe, who has not pondered upon this “entity”: God.
It has many culture-specific and religion specific-names. I am just going to call it God here as that’s a universal religion-neutral term in today’s lingua franca in all languages and all cultures. Muslims of course call God “Allah” as the singular proper noun name for it in the Holy Qur’an. But this is not about God of the Holy Quran or of any Scripture. It is about God as a philosophical concept.
All have wondered about God from time immemorial regardless of their beliefs and culture mainly in relation to the first question that comes to any conscious mind on our own existence—“where do we come from”—which eventually leads to: “where does God come from”.
Of course, conscious human minds are also inclined toward faith—“faith can move mountains” is the common affirmation—an unquantifiable belief, often metaphysical, in expectation of a positive outcome, but for which there is no empirical evidence. Conscious minds are also susceptible to belief system—often cultural-socialization of birth, often metaphysical, perhaps bound with a religion and scripture considered of divine origin, and which become de facto “truth”. Coupled with the natural curiosity of “seeking its ultimate creator”, a quest which inexplicably arises in a conscious mind, forms the basis of bonds to faith in a “personal God”. This is a higher degree of theism than just “God exists”. Quest for validation of metaphysical beliefs often leads to affirmation with confirmation bias. But there are few metanoia (transformation) as well. The most striking, and iconically timeless metanoia, is the Biblical Saul (a staunch opponent of Jesus) becoming Paul (a lover and exponent of Jesus); his prolific renderings is the eponymous “Pauline Christianity”. I should also mention that an unexplained, inexplicable natural phenomenon sometimes gets classified as “miraculous”, “singularity” by the conscious mind in its infancy, and in the limit, is postulated as God. When asked where God fitted into his mathematical work, Laplace famously replied “Sir, I have no need of that hypothesis.”
While acknowledging all these affinities as empirical realities of the conscious mind in its quest to understand the wherefrom of existence, except for seeking a reason-driven natural explanation of the question “where does God come from”, none of it is of relevance here.
When I was a younger man, I had mostly regurgitated philosophical and religious answers to the question of God. At age 20, I learned about Godel's Incompleteness Theorem....
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. See AI Reach: Epistemic Limits of AI ( https://mindagent.substack.com/p/ai-reach-epistemic-limits-of-ai ). All AI agents I have tested are likely to become the bane of human existence on this axis with our increasing reliance and dependence on AI to learn about our political and sociological world. See: AI Reach: Boon or Bane? ( https://mindagent.substack.com/p/ai-reach-boon-or-bane) Whereas, for most computational-centric sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics, AI is already becoming a boon to science, as well as for the national security state as another transformative weapon system for exercising supremacy, primacy and hegemony, akin to the development of the atom bomb. ....
