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.

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.

"Auturem La Guerra".
Catalonia has several marches tomorrow.
The largest is in Barcelona at 17h00.
passeig de Gracia.
Anarchist and punkees and okupes will be up the top at the Gracia end. The important people will be down the bottom at the Placa Catalúnya end holding the banners. These generally are the last people to declare their support but you know how it is they go up the top.
All political parties in Catalonia will be represented but Catalan "Premier" Jordi Pujol has confirmed as of last night that he will not march though supports the day.
The ICV/IU new 4 party coalition will be behind
CCOO UGT the two main spanish trade unions.
The CNT the oldest anarchosyndicalist trade union will be behind them seperated by a pacifist womens coalition. Behind CNT will be some anarko-splitters and the Communist party. The ICV will have a big balloon. The Communists will have youngsters with red spray cans.
The independentists will be in four groups and will have black spray cans, catalan flags and smiles. The Muslim groups generally try and squeeze in at the end. There are several. The hippy trippy anrcko fifth will be running about in soldier costume doing spot arms checks and will probably be difficult to catagorise but everyone loves us anyway and no longer gives us any stick.
The flag of the Spanish Republic will be carried as always by a fine young indymedia reporter and he generally has an argument with one of the Socialists. who will probably be trying to blend in with CCOO and sell their newspaper.
The Anarchist flag will be carried as always by a very serious type who does his best to get the "A" into as many photos as poss.
The RTS banner of rags sewn together showing no particular country or ideology will be as always carried by a happy type. She is friends with the guy who will be carrying the Soviet Union flag they generally march next to the Cubans.
The pakistani group will be between the "writers and artists for peace" and another group of intellectuals called "pop musicians for peace". Mano Chou is a member of both so he will probably be floating as well.
Altogether there are two hundred groups ranging from the largest trade unions to the the most humble of squats. I will be floating between the Palestine support group and the top accompanied by a video camera, a minidisc recorder and the most beautiful dog in BCN a sort of mongrel red setter.I am very easy to spot. oh look its mr o as -if and the media circus. My number is 679708674 if you need translations! ;-)
you can get metro to Placa Catalúnya for about 16h00 and have a coffee near the CCCB. We traditionally start these type of days with a statement written in chalk on the ground of Placa de Angel in front of the MACBA in the muslim area of the Ravel.
Cool! I'll keep an eye out for you and your dog.
I'll start at the MACBA at 4, and I'll keep my eye open for ya.
Brian.
I´m in Bilbao at the minute and they´re expecting a big turn out here tomorrow aswell.
Aznar has paid to have little pro-war pamflets in one (or more) of the newspapers here.
There will also be protests in the other major cities of Euskal Herria(Basque Country).
compared the mass mobilisations of Nunca Mas who have just been attributed with motivating 70% of the population of Galizia unto the streets since Nov 29th last year with the techniques of ETA of "inflitrating" every social movement in the Basque lands. This caused me to near choke on my crossaint. I reported in a sunday review a while back how Fraga president of Galizia had dismissed Nunca Mas as a "small group of radicals intent on destabilising España and the PP". Well there you go. They (Aznar and the PP) are beginning to make the Thatcher years of loony rightism look tame and liberal. The parallels between Thatcher and Aznar are so striking especially for Irish people as I presume it is for Séan. These people should foam at the mouth. Then one would know how to deal with them. Another report yesterday was how Rajoy one of Aznar´s ministers had commented on a 17year old peace activist shouting down a Aznar speech with cries of "No War!". Rajoy said "this was an attack on Aznar´s right to freedom of speech". Believe me you would choke on your crossaints too.
in Almeria, Southern Spain today, thousands of people turned out for the ´no a la guerra´ (no to war) demo i was at that coincides with the international day of action. An excellent diverse group of people cheered, chanted, slagged off Aznar and were in good humour. The streets were that packed that it took 1 hour to walk down one of the main streets (that normally takes 5 mins)on to the rambla where crowds congregated to listen to short speeches, hardly any police presence, everyone dispersed peacefully at 2pm.
