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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9Reports on Al Jazeera say that the convoy was attacked by a unit of Iraqi Resistance, Fedhayin.
The US walked into an ambush!
Of course the enemy is not so clever, so once again , it was "friendly fire".
Sure!
Pull the other one.

When the US drop a bomb or shoot somebody accidentally they never admit it until you show them the missile casing with the Boeing symbol on it. In this instance they knew exactly what plane it was etc???
This was an ambush alright.
They claim to have lost one tank and a single tank commander in their incursion into Baghdad but that is a lie too.
Even according to Sky it was more than 12 tanks. Claims by the US that a thousand Iraqi troops had been killed in close fighting, while they lost only one, are optimistic in the extreme. One US tank commander, interviewed by SKY, described the incursion as "three hours of organised chaos". In three hours of organised chaos, when a small column of perhaps 30 vehicles were met by thousands of Iraqi troops, on their own territory, it would seem more probable that the incursion was sent back with heavy casualties. This would explain why the US Command Centre has decided not to make any further incursions.
The Iraqis claim 300 US troops were killed as their column was repelled. Pick a number between 1 and 300 !
They are doing well to keep people from twigging what a disaster this war is. Interesting to see how long they will be able to keep it up.
Has anyone heard about the nuclear subs the Russians are moving towards the gulf? They are well pissed they are losing millions every day and that the US are stealing THEIR oil. I wonder how long it will be until people wise up to this little dynamic of the Bush War II and its disasterous consequences for 30 years of East/West demilitarisation?
pissed off lots of people by claiming on BBC newsfeed that
"The BBC have just liberated Kabul!".
this led to a three page G2 supplement special on the Simpson who eveyone knows is an obnoxious journalist. Perhaps the USAF media division have signalled hium out for this friendly fire incident coz they are a vengeful lot.
moral of the story....
do not claim on indymedia that you have "liberated" either Belfast or Hillsborough when you come back.
that the Iraquis could only show ONE destroyed tank??They claim to have "removed" the six remaining tanks???? HMMMMMMMM a eighty ton battle tank that has been disabled/destroyed.That requires a 30 ton tank transporter times six plus recovery gear.And the Iraquis still have all this equipment???NAHHHHH
Truth you knocked one out[big deal]killed maybe thirty US reoops[possible].But the trouble is quantity.The US has more to lose than the Iraquis can replace.Aint capitalism great???
If you want a glimpse of the truth look at who is to gain, or more exactly who is to lose out from the event. Friendly fire or Iraqi ambush? all the same the US has rid itself of a large chunk of the potentially troublesome Kurdish leadership. Handy.
Check this out for reports allegedly from Russian intelligence sources. Sounds more probable than the mainstream us/euro propoganda:

The guy has got nine lives. There's no stopping the liberator of Kabul.
Good for him, I like the guy.
