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.

At the end of the day, anyone with any proper connections with the anti-war movement has their own suspicions regarding Galloway. I've had them for years. However, this doesn't detract from the genuine movement.
cos the Sun and the Times say so!
my god, i never knew. if only i had spent all those years getting my degree in history (learning how to be objective, and learning to read between the lines) reading the Sun. i would be a much better subject than i am now.
i reject all my past links with the anti-war movement and socialism. take me into your zionist ranks.
Even if these allegations are 100% true, this does not make Galloway a traitor by any strecth of the imagination. Saddam Hussien was never an enemy of the british people or crown. therefore galloway cannot be indicted on this count. Mind you, its hardly news that some politicians are receieving money from dodgy middle eastern charcaters. I'm sure mossad have paid out quite a bit to their 'western allies' over the years.
by the way, the Guardian report said nothing we didnt already know. Galloway was cleared on all counts.
And the moral of the story is...NEVER trust a stalinist!

Avi (and anyone)
If you need to use links, don't add long links like the one that was above - it makes the site difficult to read, especially for users with smaller monitors or older laptops. Use www.tinyurl.com or www.makeashorterlink.com to shorten the web reference, please, as has been done above.
If it is true that Galloways support for lifting of UN sanctions was greased along by filthy lucre then all that proves is that power corrupts. This guy already takes £70,000 sterling from the Mail on Sunday for fucks sake. However, it seems a bit likely that the Daily Telegraph (a quality, renowed hotbed of objective journalism) "found" these documents in the aftermath of the looting of the Foreign Ministry which was almost burned to the ground.
The right wing press has a history of fabricating smears against prominent left wingers, like the Zioniev letter in 1924 which took Labour over 40 years to establigh as a forgery. Whether these allegations have any truth in them or not, shit does stick and I suspect the real reasoning behind them is to discredit/punish Galloway for his stance and to provide ammunition for mouthpieces like Avi to bleat continously in their irrelevant attempts to deflect criticism of state terrorism.
I have to admit to having serious doubts about the miraculous "find" by the Daily Telegraph of these documents.
In saying that, if it was true, so what? If a politician turns out to be a corrupt money grabber - would that really be such a shock?
How does that in any way legitimise the war or hurt the genuine anti-war movement?
The war mongerers haven't been able to plant WMDs yet but they have managed to "find" a few very dodgy bits of paper!!!!!
Oh my god! My concerns about the mass murder of Iraqi civilians and the invasion of Iraq by multi-national corporations were all wrong! I don't think so.
Let the war-mongerers have their fun - we know we were right and the coming years will prove us right. Unfortunately many more thousands will die, not just on the streets of Baghdad but on the streets of Washington and London.
We did what we could - there's no blood on our hands.
As far as we know even documents discovered in "interogation centres" have not been properly searched, information which would uncover the deadly murderers and torturers in Saddams regime. However they do just happen to discover a piece of "evidence" which makes Blair look good.................. go on call me paranoid.
This is a plant by the CIA and M15...it's all a right wing set up. I think the men in the grey suits who forced those Iraqis to march in Dublin celebrating Saddam's downfall are also behind it. Why can't you all see it's a plot???? I mean it must be because it doesn't seem to tally with our narrow beliefs!
