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.

"Mr. Mesbahi, the Iranian defector who provided the testimony, met with Argentine investigators in Germany in 1998 and again in Mexico in 2000, speaking at various times in Persian, English, German and French with a Spanish-language translator present.
Argentine officials say that they are not sure of his current whereabouts, except that he remains under Germany's protection, and that they do not know if the name he gave is his real name."
Now if he was a Zionist defector revealing Mosaad activities we'd be hearing a different tune I think .....
An Iranian defector - well I never - he must be telling the truth ......
Like the Zionist defector Israel Shamir:
http://www.israelshamir.net/english/discussionofantisemitism.shtml
or rather, an Iranian defector, and is confirmed by Argentinian evidence.
Check out this link:
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/22/international/americas/22ARGE.html
"An Argentine judge issued arrest warrants last week for four Iranian government officials, including two former cabinet ministers, who he said had helped organize the attack."
Oh I forgot you don't need any evidence when someone is accused of anti-semitism ......
Sounds like a whacko conspiracy theory to me .... what evidence is there ?
A bit like saying that high-ranking Zionist agents engineered 09-11 .....
Or that they are behind the war with Iraq .....
FourWinds, you're very naive if you think that if we gave the Arabs everything they want they would stop killing us.
since the beginning of the illegal invasion of Iraq by the USA assisted by the UK, I have attempted to contact by telephone my Israeli friends who still live in that state.
No contact has been achieved.
my thought: the telephones may work to journalists in Baghdad but to TelAviv the lines are dodgey.
... by recognising the legitamacy of the Palestinian State and by stopping the bulldozering of houses, Palestinians and American Peace Campaigners into the sand.
Just a thought.
You may also recall that in the last Gulf War, Iraq lobbed over 40 Scud missiles at Israeli cities when Israel wasn't even involved in that war.
By theway, in general, it would seem that the majority of Arabs have poisonous attitudes to Jews. They had them before Israel started. This reflects the backward nature of the Arab world, as it festers in ignorance and cruelty.
That's a good one! Everyone else is wrong except Israel!
Might take this up again later, but some of us have to go to work. See you all.
Anti-Semitism in Iran is well documented. However, it is now claimed by the Argentinian govt that the Iranian govt instigated and organised an atrocity against Jews in Buenos Aires. This is from the NY Times:
March 13, 2003, Thursday
FOREIGN DESK
World Briefing | Americas: Argentina: Iranian Envoy Recalled
By Larry Rohter (NYT)
The highest-ranking diplomat at the Iranian Embassy has been recalled as a result of a growing dispute over responsibility for the bombing at a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in 1994, which killed 85 people. An Argentine judge issued arrest warrants last week for four Iranian government officials, including two former cabinet ministers, who he said had helped organize the attack. The Iranian government reacted angrily, warning that ''Iran will adopt appropriate measures'' unless Argentina revokes the indictments. The diplomat who was recalled is the chargé d'affaires, Mohammad Ali Tabatabai; with relations already downgraded Iran does not have an ambassador in Buenos Aires. Larry Rohter (NYT)
'It cannot entirely be the fault of the Arab world.' Why not?
"giving out information useful to enemies is dangerous"
That excuse is used regularly by governments to cover up their own wrong-doing, and also to stifle dissent. I don't think those web sites are giving out any tactical military information.
Israel certainly seems to have a talent for making enemies, perhaps they should reflect on how they have contributed to causing that situation. It cannot be entirely the fault of the Arab world.
I cannot believe that Iranian ministers travelled to Buenos Aires just to blow up some jewish center there .... sounds completely far-fetched ....
Oh you mean like Sharon was indicted in Brussels for genocide .... ?
Just in case you didn't know, Israel is still technically at war with most of the Arab world, including Syria, Iraq, Saudi, Libya, etc. etc. There is also the not so small matter of different Palestinian terror gangs such as the Fatah, Hezbollah, Hamas, who regularly murder Israelis and who wish to destroy the country. There is also Iran that has stated the same intention, and several of whose government ministers have just been indicted by the Argentinian State Prosecutor for blowing up a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires.
Obviously, when a country is at war, giving out information useful to enemies is dangerous.
Avi, stop whining. War is wrong, therefore "war censorship rules" are wrong.
The public's right to know is paramount.
With whom is Israel at war ?
Please clarify - I was not aware that it had declared war on Iraq .....
Israel is a country at war, so war censorship rules apply. So what?
Ray is a member of the international website censorship forum. He probably knows the Israeli censor guy.
Get Ray or Dotty to call him and sort things out!
