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: 5 4 3 2 1Congratulations to all who took part in yesterday's march. It was given quite a bit of time on Sky News and treated quite favourably. It showed Ireland to be one of the ever growing number of countries which is seriously opposing the upcoming war. Well, it shows the people are opposing the war, even if our cowardly government is worried of a slap on the wrist from Washington if they say or do anything about it.
I would ask everyone to try to get as many people as possible to come to the planned demo of February 15th to show the world the Irish people disagree vehemently with this war.
However Europe as in the majority of European states have chosen to uphold the UN charter.
Attacking Iraq without the support of the UN security council is illegal.
Supporting the USA and the UK in such an attack would be illegal for Ireland.
Ireland is supporting escalation of US forces on the borders of Iraq.
Ireland is at odds with her european allies.
Ireland is at odds with her constitution.
Bush is a bad man too.
Ireland ought be supporting other ways out of this conflict.
It is most certainly about Oil and a family based psychological complex.
However Bush 2 is not Scipio Africanus minor.
he has no global legitamacy to lead this attack.
In over fifty years of policing the globe, the USA can not seriously be credited with increasing our sense of security, safety or indeed contributing to a happier world community.
The USA has failed.
Ireland has always had a habit of supporting the losing side.
This "war" may be understood as being a "just" war in irish america, london, dublin etc.,
however for those who live in Islam it is yet another attack on the global Islamic community.
They think this when they hear phrases such as
"crusade".
and "axis of evil".
Washington and Dublin and London have to remember that their sabre rattling is couched in vocabulary that is available globally via TV and internet and what might seem good to say in their homes is most certainly the worst thing to say in the homes of others.
To mangle Gandhi
"The americans are masters in others´ homes".
if one looks to Irish history one may see the bitter consequences of being "master" in someone elses home.
''Saddam needs to be dealt with severly.''
Stan, see how you have bought the propaganda? 'Saddam' (his name is Saddam Hussein) will not get bombed, his people will, however.
Why have more civilians died from US attacks in Afghanistan that people died in in the Sept 11th attacks? None of the Hijackers were Afghani.
Obviously Al Qeuada was there. But where is Osama bin Laden? Plus, the US promised to leave Afghanistan, now more than a year later and still there, the US is promising to withdraw from Iraq after a few months and promising Democracy in Iraq as well after the invasion.
Where's the democracy in Afghanistan?
The US has such little credibility these days.
Yes yes Saddam Hussein is a nasty man and I doubt you would find anyone to argue with you on that point. However, if you truly believe that the proposed war on Iraq is about UNSCR not being adherred to then you would be mistaken. What is the time schedule that you propose for attacks to occur on Tel Aviv. Because you do know that Israel has broken more UNSCR than any other country. This war has strong economic motives. Why did they live Saddam dormant for so long. Why suddenly has he become so important once again. Does he have weapons of mass destrucion? Most likely no. Is he a threat to American securtiy? Definitely not. Was he giving arms to Al Qaeda? No. Is there a lot of oil in Iraq? Yes. Does Saddam oppress his own people? Yes. Did the US support him when he was killing his own people? Yes. Does the US want to introduce democracy in Iraq? No. Why does the US want to invade Iraq? Well we've established it's not really UNSCR, human rights violations, the introduction of democracy or because the US has problems with dictators. I guess well all that really leaves is the economic gains to be extracted from such a war. I don't think that it is to difficult to see the reasoning behind such a war. Economy bad = distract the people with a nice war abroad. It's been done before. Russia messed up with Japan and lead to 1905. Maybe I'm just hoping too much but what I do know is that the US is going in for oil.
Bloody hell, what is wrong with you folk? Do you not remember what happened to Kuwait?
Iraq has continued to contravene UN resolutions since the end of the Gulf war. Give Saddam room to move and he would do it all again.
Funny how there are no comments about this fucking Raghead paying suicide bombers to kill inoccents or his 'compensation' payments to dead, sorry splattered, bombers.
Saddam needs to be dealt with severly.
If you support him, get yourself over to Iraq and see what is in store for this tyrant.
This war is NOT over oil. It is over the wrongdoings of one evil son of a bitch.
