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.

Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

In particular the spanish ones, and with particular attention to 'socialist' Javier Solana former Nato General sec and now EU foreign spokesperson of sorts.
Can someone explian what role Wimpy little Bertie could take?
Why even mention him in the same sentance as the warmongers?
What possible bearing could this little pissant country and its backward comical clown government have on such a serious issue.
Get real.
Pointless
Well Paddy, thats pretty much the way it is. 'course the way to play the game is to keep these self serving political muppets convinced that this IS what people are concerned about. In the meantime- as long as they're on our side we better get some good work out of them.
SO LETS GET THE WHIPS OUT AND MAKE THESE POLITICAL MUPPETS DANCE, remember they work for us, not the other way round, lets get our Euro's worth of political swing out of the fickle self-serving bastards.
Maybe Pat Rabbitte or Roisin Shorthall might write to their comrade Tony, seeing as they're all opposed to the war now (until the next private poll tells them that people are more concerned about something else, at which stage theyll drop the anti war stance like a hot snot)
I'm not surprised you are sending others to die for capital in war. I'm not surprized you have already ignored 300,000 strong demonstrations in Britain. I'm not surprised you will never read this letter.
It's what you do after all. Your job is to keep order and allow the corporations to make money. And the oil corporations have their eyes on the oil fields of Iraq and the middle east.
It's your job to send young working class British men and women there to die and kill for oil profits. It's your job to order the repression and imprisonment of other young (and old) men and women who try and stop them by blockading Fairford and other military bases in Britain. It's your job to do so in a way that pretends you offer an alternative to the tories.
I am surprised that so many people who should know better believe you might be an alternative. I am surprised that they think writing you a letter will make any difference. The wheels of war are in motion, they can only be stopped if WE stop them - YOU for reasons that are obvious will not.
The one thing Tony that might stop you is consideration of the risk you are taking. Not the risk of military defeat - that is hardly on the cards given that you have the atom bomb and they do not (to paraphrase Kipling). No I mean that other risk, the risk to your corporate masters.
The risk that 300,000 willing to march might become 300,000 willing to act. You must hear the rumbles, tiny though they may be. A couple of train drivers refusing to transport munitions here, a couple and their dog walking down the runway at Fairford there.
What if that sort of thing was to catch on. It would take an army to stop 300,000 marching through Fairford and tearing up or down every military installation there. You have an army but will they shoot down British 'subjects' with the willingness they bomb Iraqi people from 10,000m.
And once underway would that army of 300,000 stop at the far edge of the airbase. Might not they march on to other bases and other issues. Might not they decide to have done with airbases, war and corporate rule alltogether? Of course they could not do this alone but you are a small elite standing on the shoulders of 50 million people. What if it caught on and all 50 million turned to action?
So Tony, this is not an appeal to you. I don't believe appeals can stop the war. It's more of a warning or perhaps a promise. In sending others to fight this war, you, Bertie and Bush are lifting your masks. The world is watching. Perhaps you are starting something that the worlds people will finish and in doing so they will finish with you and your system.
No war but the class war!
Another example of a non-sequitur!
