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.

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 Israel Defence Forces actually take a lot of care to avoid civilian deaths. Generally, in that kind of strike, it is called off 9 times out of 10, because of the presence of civilians in the vicinity. I know this for a fact, because I have been there when the targeting is done. However, when you are fighting terrorists who circulate and hide in crowded urban centres, there is just no way to avoid civilian deaths. War is just not precise. In any case, if we hadn't taken out those Hamas leaders, how many more innocent people would have died inside Israel? Like all good military organisations, we take the battle to the enemy.
Don't for a moment imagine that Israel rejoices in any way shape or form in the deaths and injury of Palestinian civilians. It is totally tragic - ALWAYS. We are trying to defend ourselves from facist murderers.
Unlike you Avi I am not going to whinge about being called a moron, as I think we all see through your childish riposte.
Perhaps you should study somebody elses history and learn from it instead of navel-gazing and droning on incessantly about your own people's past.
It is actually naive to think that your problems can be solved by eliminating your enemies in this way. By killing innocent civilians your government is acting as a recruiting sargeant for Hammas and we in Ireland know this only too well.
This type of tactic has failed again and again in the rest of the world only you are too blind to see it.
Eventually you will have to make peace with your neighbours as you will eventually become a minority within your own borders, better to do a deal now while you are ahead.
So you've been there when "targeted" murders have been done. Very interesting, the mask slips, I suppose you've been there "nine times out of ten". As for Israel not rejoicing over civilian deaths, I seem to remember slimboy Sharon gloating over a great victory in the successful assination of a Hamas leader, which also killed children.
As for Israel having a good military organisation, don't fool yourself, as the Yanks put it when Israel invaded Lebanon (No so-called coaltion against terror needed there eh?), it was a fourth rate army taking on a seventh rate one.
I with others of Espai alliberat saw video's of human shields in both the West Bank and Gaza recorded from Jan 14 2003- late February.
It has been a little over three weeks since the death of a U.S. national human shield.
one death amongst thousands.
and today nearly post Iraq war Jordan
discusses a British built pipeline.
it would be pro-Palestinian.
after all the Mediterranean Community of Nations and States has always recognised and given home to both Palestinian and Jewish peoples.
"I have been there when the targeting is done".
In what capacity have you been there when the targeting is done, Avi?
Avi levels the charge of anti-semitism, racism and idiocy with ease at those whose only weapon is the written word which they use to disagree with him.
These are fine words from a man whom, by his own admission in this thread, has taken part in the murder of his political opponents and innocent civilians whom he considers to be "animals" to quote some of his past postings on this site.
What sort of credibility or value does any opinion pronounced by such a man have?
"The Israel Defence Forces actually take a lot of care to avoid civilian deaths"
-Avi, in response to:
"nine Palestinian children were killed when the Israeli air force dropped a one-tonne bomb into a packed area of slum housing in Gaza City in the middle of the night on a mission to assassinate Saleh Shehadeh, a leading Hamas militant".
Avi you are sickening.
You can try to post your propaganda on foreign websites and hope to shift the scales in favour of the hard line Israeli point of view. And who knows, maybe you'll fool some people. But you can't fool me because I have lived in Al-Quds surrounded by Israelis. I have known a few and spoken to many. After all my travels accross Europe and the Middle East, I can safely say that you are by far the most arrogant, mean, and inhumane people. Not everyone of course, but a vast majority of Israelis are like that. That's right, I know your kind you little shit. All four million of us in Palestine know you. You can kill people with your American artillery, but you can't kill the truth.
There's an old Chinese saying: "Those who speak do not know. Those who know do not speak."
So long, losers.
Off to sulk with your tail between your legs Avi ... right place for you you murderer, racist and butcher.
Show us how knowledgeable you are.
