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.

Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11the action of the firefighters is criminally irresponsible at this time. They are putting lives at risk- let's not forget many people working in the public sector deserve a pay rise nurses, care -workers- 40% on the part of the firefighters is simply not on. This is a macho and agressive culture manifesting itself here. The fire service employs very few people from minority ethnic communities and in N.Ireland there are few catholics employed in this service. It is very much a pro-protestant and loyalist workforce. They
need to wise up -they won't get 40%
i'd like to set him on fire & then laugh when he begged me to piss on him to put the fire out.
btw aidan, i'm not serious. i dont set fire to people.honestly.
that just shows what a sad , twisted evil-minded fuck you are
Coming up to Christmas, families of Striking firefighters also need toys, donations, for these brave worker's families, so buy an extra toy or pressie for Firefighters families. Standing together with firefighters, DONT LET TONY break us this time.
Firefighters are totally neutral and non sectarian. Most fire fighters are from working class backgrounds, from all sections of Irish society. I have friends from Ardoyne in the Fire service. Fire fighters respond, without hesitation to any emergency, any where, helping people regardless of their race, religion or creed. Firefighters deserve the increase in pay, when useless fat cat politicians can award themselves pay rise of over £60,000 each, they have no right to begrudge brave hardworking firefighters a well deserved pay rise.
the FBU should make an appeal to the rank-and-file in the Army. The Army that will be expected to cross pickets and break the strike should be asked to refuse to obey orders.
Army privates live in working class districts, they come from the working class, their famil and friends are workers. Making a successful appeal to them to disobey their superiors would break New Labour and their Thatcherite agenda.
Hear Hear coinneal. Yes you're dead these firefighters are CRIMINALLY IRRESPONSIBLE, note CRIMINALLY IRRESPONSIBLE. Instead of getting a 40% pay rise they should be throw in prison the lot of them and let the brave young army recruits do the job that they are quite capable of doing especially now that its been proven that people have died as a direct result of their CRIMINALLY IRRESPONSIBLE strike and don't think that it won't happen in the good old UK. Ronald Regan did it in the USA in 1981 when he sacked all the air traffic controllers - the lot of them when they went on a similarly CRIMINALLY IRRESPONSIBLE strike. He sacked the lot of them - HA HA HA! But I disagree with you when you say that there are public 'sevants' who do 'deserve' a pay rise. In my opinion NONE of them 'deserve' a pay rise. They're all lazy good for nothing dossers and spongers and the sooner the better the whole bloated public sector is sold off to private enterprise who will provide a genuine public service the better. I don't want to see a return to the life losing anarchy of "the winter of discontent" in the UK during the winter of 1978-79 when lives were also lost as a direct result of the widespread CRIMINALLY IRRESPONSIBLE public sector industrial action. You so-called 'working class' are your own worst enemies. Of course we see all the usual apologists for this failed marxist leninist shite such as that Pat C coming out of the woodwork trying to defend the indefensible. Pat C why don't you buzz off and stop talking your usual load of nonsense.
I too, agree with King mobster/slobsters extreme right wing ultra capitalist views. Workers who strike should be imprisoned, if only the UK and Ireland were more like a dog eat dog third world capitalist state like Chile or el salvador. If only the rich, powerful, company bosses and beautiful plastic surgery disasters ruled the world with an IRON ROD. I too wish my boring day to day capitalist drudgery would be more like an episode of Dallas, i love all things shiny, sparkly, gold, jewellery, glamourous expensive frocks and big expensive fuel gruzzling shiny keyars. I think torture of strikers and working class people/republicans and trade unionists should be legalised, these people are trying to destroy my beautiful dreams of a Dallas like utopia. A jet set lifestyle, holidays in sun city etc, we all of us want these things, we all want to play the big game hunter in far off foreign soils, we all want a ranch in texas, a jacuzzi, a swimming pool, servants and why cant we have all things beautiful things, becos the poor keep rebelling, they keep striking, organising, and fighting against my beautiful capitalist dog eat dog utopia. We all want to be able to buy anyone we want, we all want to see people as commodities, to be bought and sold, i'd like to trawl the streets at night and pick up a woman, child, man that i want, and pay them for services, whats wrong with that, they do it on Dallas.
if thats the best you can come up with.
if you support the state against the firefighters then come out & say it.
btw that didnt sound like the real king mob
I didn't call pat a goatfucker.
Nope not me, again my imposter was busy at the weekend. As was I, loafing about, so
Accept no imitators, demand 100% original, not made in a tawinese sweatshop King Mob brand sarcasm, the rest is a poor knock off.
sadly pat c your comments are the usual inanities we have grown to expect from someone with the intellect of a frozen pea. Are you getting any help for the psychological disorder which you've sadly inherited from your sad moronic fucked up parents?
