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 9 10 11I am shocked at the lack of response of the mainstream media to the news that their colleagues are being slaughtered. Although journos lives are worth no more or no less than others, it is disturbing to see such open hostility to the press embedded in the Palestine Hotel.
Just think of the outcry were Iraqi troops killing journalists?
Guess what, any normally protected entity, such as a mosque or cultural site can lose its protection if the enemy uses it in a way that makes it a military target.
Therefore, its not the Americans that are to blame for the hotel being fired on, its the Iraqis militia who have stripped the hotel of its protection.
And they weren't to blame for directing their aircraft and artillery at the hotel either.
They never bombed or shelled the palestine hotel until they were getting shot at from it. If they had, every Iraqi official and western journalist would have told you about it. I'm willing to bet they still haven't. Sounds like they used a tank to attack a concentration of militia firing at them from one spot.
What part of "LEAVE THE HOPTEL" didn't or don't they understand. Go to a war zone and it can be hazardous to your health. By remaining, the media allowed a sniper to use them as a shield from a tank - that's just stupid. The U.S. cannot protect people from their own stupidity. The left's inability to accept personal responsibility is incredulous. Again, the news media was previously advised to leave
They just got fed up of the lousey coverage,the bitchin pain in the ass"war" reporters???
Reporters in a combat zone are as welcome to the average grunt as a Rasta band at a klu klux klan rally.
I am about to massacre a large number of people. I demand that all media and independent observers leave the vicinity or they too will be massacred. Is that okay?
You make me sick. Any media worth its salt does not take orders from generals.

Don't rise to the right wing taunts here. Sit it out and take pride in the fact that come the next resource war, they will be hiding behind their 'principles' for war.
Surprise, Surprise!!! US army bombs AL-Jazeera office and kills one person. Just like they bombed the Al-Jazeera office in Kabul last year.
They also fired a tank round at the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad and killed two camera men. Sky News is busy covering up for this, when they announce the news on the TV they keep repeating the US claim that Iraqi troops fired from the lobby of the Hotel and then they refuse to report that their own reporter (David Chater)said earlier that no shots had been fired from the hotel. He also asked why the tank fired at the 15th floor of the hotel when they said the "shots" were coming from the lobby. Sky News is now trying to portray the attack as "friendly fire".
Genevea Convention anyone???
Sky News host asks US army spokesman "are incidents like this unavoidable in war", he got the answer he was looking for
Re above pro-war comments, you already know the US army are liars (babies thrown from incubators in 1990?) , all journalists in the hotel have siad there was no shooting from the hotel, they also said the army had been near the hotel for the past 24 hours and knew it was the media HQ
cos on Pat Kenny (or news at one i cant remeber) they had a Sky news woman on, and she said that she was pretty sure that no-one fired from the hotel. mind you, even if they had, she said that the nearest us forces were 2 kilometers away. i dont think iraqi rifles have that kind of range. maybe they got 'intelligence information' that 'senior regime members' were meeting in the hotel? as for the al jazeera building, two aerial missles hit it - what were the 'snipers' firing at planes in the sky or what?
maybe al qaeda thought there were 'senior regime members' meeting in the WTC? thus making it a legimate target in the holy war.
incidently, isnt it illegal, under geeneva, to kill the head of a state? if so, why are they trying to kill sadam?
