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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Why should I go to an event organised by a Catholic group when the Catholic church is one of the richest organisations in Ireladn and the World
Why not get your bishop freinds to bail ye out??
Fair play to the Pitstop Ploughshares!
Whilst I don't share their religious views,I am grateful that someone had the courage to make a meaningful public stand against the current state of affairs in re the use of shannon airport as a tool for genocide.They certainly lifted my spirits and made me feel less isolated as a critic of Fianna Fail 'policy'. Although their actions have been criticised at length, it has mostly been by those who believe whatever is handed to them by the corporate Media.
Good luck on Tuesday!
I for one am not even a christian,but am firmly on the side of anyone who has the balls to stick a hatchet in the nose of a US warplane and in the process generate huge publicity for the anti-war movement.
http://indymedia.ie/cgi-bin/newswire.cgi?id=51655
you clearly haven't bothered you arse to find out anything about the individuals you target or the movement (which is broad, very broad) so you hear the word catholic and alarm bells go off. pity about you. you'd do well to learn something about a person or movement you wish to publicly attack. then you wouldn't sound like such an idiot and have your comments shot down... for example the responses to your so called article elsewhere on the newswire.
but then, i imagine that's why you use a pseudonym, right?
if you read anything about the Catholic Worker movement you would know they are a radical mixed bag, some staunchly opposed to the church, others not. people from a wide political and religios spectrum work within the movement.
now i'll leave it up to you to find out more and stop wasting everyone's time luvvie. think you can do da'?
So you're about "radical, accurate, and passionate tellings of the truth."
First, "truth" is not radical. If it IS truth, it is only radical to those who oppose it. Or, someone invents a statement designed to promote a personal agenda and CALLS it truth; then that indeed could be radical - but not the truth at all.
Second, "accurate" from what I've read here so far, amounts to little more than what someone "agrees with." If you like it, then it's accurate. That one is too deep to wade into.
Third, "passionate tellings" should more "truthfully" read "inflammatory tellings." Generating anger, promoting outright hatred and continuing to rip the scabs off of old wounds so they will never be allowed to heal, has nothing to do with real and constructive "passion;" much less, anything to do with building a better world.
"Inflammatory tellings" serve only to destroy the part of the world that you don't like; along with the innocent people that were living there. That's the same type of thinking promoted by the Nazis and the KKK. Surely you can do better than that.
Do you really want truth and passion? Try going to see "The Passion of the Christ" and spending the next week (or year) in prayer asking God to help you to forgive your enemies.
After that? You might try studying the life of Mother Theresa of Calcutta and then "go thou and do likewise" in your country.
Anyone can throw a match into a building, start a fire and draw a crowd. But when it's all over, they leave nothing behind but ashes.
Have the courage to put your version of truth to the test by measuring it against the REAL truth, the person, the life and the teachings of Jesus Christ. (sorry atheists, I guess you'll be inflamed by my "passionate telling") Then ask God to focus your passion by serving others; not merely to stop others from serving. By seeking to build, not just to stop others from building. "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace."
You've only got one life. Get it right. And yes, there will be a test afterwards.
I wish you all the best.
