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.

the case against 'beautiful' lori is actually pretty strong. clearly her sentence is over the top but she was pretty well nailed as part of a tupac conspiracy to attack the Peruvian parliament. everybody in the states, particularly hr painfully bourgeios family, likes to point to the legal system as a joke and the fact that Peru is essentially a fascist dictatorship, but nevertheless it would appear that she is innocent only if being involved in facilitating an attack on the parliament is ok. like all political prisoners everywhere she should be released but innocence is a different ball game entirely.
and by the way Avi, on another story youre slamming the provos as fascists but calling for the release of 'beautiful' Lori, are you smoking crack?

And what does guilty look like?
bimbo, you really are sick. If you had taken the trouble give Lori's web site more than a cursory glance, you would have found that, in all likelihood, Lori was a naive, idealistic woman who made friends with people she had no idea were guerillas. No evidence was ever produced that she helped the tupacs: it was just that she lived in the same apartment building for a while.
The only thing that interests you is that I called her beautiful. Instead of looking at the facts, you just assumed that my interest in her was due to some infatuation. Also, the fact that her family is 'bourgeois' in your eyes seems to mean that she doesn't deserve justice, and that somehow they deserve to suffer. That's why I say you are sick: you are obviously incapable of feeling compassion in this case. All you can see are your own prejudices. Frankly, your attitude revolts me.
As a matter of fact, we should also spare a thought for the thousands of ordinary Peruvians who have suffered a similar fate to Lori.
Heads on sticks! Heads on sticks! How do I get to the train station. Turn right at Mary Harney, make a left at Michael Mcdowell and it's just across the road from Bertie Ahern. Heads on sticks! Heads on Sticks!
Since she was locked up ive heard and read plenty about Lori actually. i live in the usa and when there are not long winded fluff pieces about her on community radio there are editorials in the wall st journal or other similarly inclined establishment organs. the bourgeois bit refers to this, her release by the brown barbarians has been endorsed by everyone from the state dept to madison ave. now this has little or nothing to do with her 'naivety' or her 'innocence', but it has plenty to do with her class origin. were lori a balck man from oakland radicalised through move or the panthers who went to latin america to fight the power his parents letters would be unlikely to appear in the times or their voices be heard on channel 13. the naivety defense appeals only to this aspect of her story, a graduate idealist who arrived in peru filled with innocent enough notions of 3rd wld revolutioin who fell in with a bad crowd who then manipulated and used her for their sordid teroristic ends.
that her own politics are more radical and thoughfull doesnt detract from the racist bullshit put forth by her defenders here in the US, and now i assume from your diatribe, in ireland too. lets not be too naive Avi, and give her some credit. the hope for her release lies not in this fallacy of her manipulation by others, but in a Peruvian rejection of the validity of Fujinoros anti terror laws. now that tupac and luminosa have been done in this is likely to be the outcome. as for your infatuation, well now, Avi doth deny too much.
I don't know where youse are getting the idea she is beautiful from.Go have a toss and come back and try saying she is.
Schwanz, you are an idiot.
Schwanz, you are an idiot.
Bet ya if she was an Arab (what youse call Palestinians) you wouldn't be whinging. But you are right, she is a babe...and probably innocent also.
