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.

Is the era of cheap internet surveys over? A new paper demonstrates that AIs can now be "trivially programmed" to answer online surveys in ways that are essentially indistinguishable from humans.

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.

Something got lost on translation there.
I hope the Italian police kick their arses. They didn't get enough when they were growing up.
you seem to willing to obey, and too quick to call on authority to repress dissent.
or maybe its just a blow job you need.
It's a way to draw you people out. How quickly you veeeeeeer off topic! The immediate reaction is to attack the person.
I have very little faith in your ability to think things through in a reasonable manner.
A better translation would be "we do not comply with" rather than "we disobey".
And don't worry Seanin, the Italian police are well able to kick people's arses without any encouragement from you! VIVA LA PACE.
BLAIR, BUSH, BERLUSCONI,
ANDATE FUORI DEI COGLIONI!!
I think it's an ego trip for you lot from start to finish. It's not a game, you know.
I've no problem with people marching peacefully down a street. But this sort of action is both futile and an exercise in glory seeking.
it is a slur on the thousands of people with genuine concerns who demonstrate peacefully and lawfully.
Demonstrate peacefully sheonin? And at the same time you want the police to kick their arses? Not very consistent, are you, shoenin?
Salerno, 10:31am, March 7, 2003
US train blockaded in Italy:
Father Vitaliano chained to a tank. About 50 disobedients have blockaded a train which, according to the protesters, transports tanks and military hardware. The blockade is takling place in the train station of Battipaglia, near Salerno. Among the protesters, who have anti-war banners, are Francesco Caruso and Father Vitaliano Della Sala. The latter, along with a youth, has chained himself to a tank. [...] "This train won't leave from here" said Francesco Caruso. The train was directed to Puglia.
this warm comfartable 'democracy-like' society that you enjoy was built upon disobedience, disobedience against tyrants, kings, empires, bosses, ..I mean what the hell sort of a world would WE be living in right now if everyone towed the line and did what he was told, no revolutions, no workers rights, no change, no improvents, no nothing... sure we'd still have slavery and child workers. Face it Seanin, the world is a better place because people took drastic actions, were DISOBEDIENT, stood up for themselves and were counted.
Not like you, who sit at home criticising those who seek a better future for YOU.
I suppose it's an ego trip for to.
But you won't find FF lowering their standards to the shower in here
That's a good point and well put. However, those days you speakof are long gone. People have guaranteed rights these days and there is simply no justification for breaking the law to express an opinion.
It is futile, it alienates the undecided and robs the "moderate" anti-war campaigners of credibility.

the universal big tractor.
and the
universal "stop" sign.
really quite simple.-
Trains are easy to spot as well.
They tend to be big have lots of wheels and run on tracks.
Contrary to the opinion of Archibishop Usher and friends who maintained that transportation of people by railway would cause aphixiation over twenty miles per hour, safe and relatively comfortable transit is possible in modern day Europe at over 300km per hour.
The first comuter type train was built in Ireland [an officially designated cheap labour zone] where the locals were not considered to important in the Eighteenth century.
After several dozen of the locals mostly decendents of the O´byrnes who had plagued the Bristol settlers of Ranelagh in the fourteenth century had survived the short journey between Kingstown and Dublin without showing signs of either aphixiation or even going slightly blue in the face, the train was introduced as a safe method of transport throughout the World.
Trains also played an important role in the mainly Austrian beurocracy of NAZI Germany. In fact trains are the transport system most psychically suggestive of Fascism. The first Italian Fascist dictator Mussolini had ensured the arrival and departure to timetable of the Italian train service. A feat which engratiated him with "the honest hardworking keep their heads down no nonsense types of his day".
The first War known to all fans of Brass rubbing as the "great war" was planned before hand to be a simple matter of moving the German war machine from east to west according to the "von Schieflen plan". It is worth mentoining though that there was some considerable resistance from railway executives at the confiscation of their rolling stock.
The "great war" ended on the Western front officially in a train carraige where representatives of Germany France Britian and the some other "hanger-ons" singed the Treaty of Versailles. For those scholarly types it is may be worth remembering that the actual copy of the Treaty was only printed properly for the first three pages. The "great war" thus ended for most with signatures on a document of illegible gibberish.
These days a train journey is quite cheap, though after the bycycle one of the cleanest transport options the train is a poorly developed infrastructure solution to many urban problems.
Trains should be free. It is my advise that if you are trying a train journey that you jump the barrier at the station.
If you are going more than seven kilometres it is sometimes a good idea to hide in the toilet.
