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. The Saker >>

Manu Chou has cancelled all his Iberian peninsula concerts!
In a move which has shocked the bourgoise, popular singer songwriter Manu Chou goes political
Manu Chou is probably familiar to readers in Ireland for his albums on general themes of poverty, immigration, the north/south divide, the legacy of his Catalan heritage [his father was a political exile].
Anyway Manu has in protest of the continuing process of criminalisation in the Spanish State against nationalists and those seen to help nationalists has cancelled all his gigs. If you saw his gig or recorded his last gig in Ireland just think, you have something the youngsters and hipsters in Spain don't have!
Manu's pal has recently been cought up in the emerging Basque nation's problems with the Spanish state.
Readers in Ireland may have put the pieces together in the last year, to realise that the Basques who live in the Spanish State are mostly moving to increased independence. The mainstream and indeed centre right ruling parties are awaiting the Lehandakari's (taoiseach's) address on 26th of September for a new type of "free and external association" a type of independence unknown to Europe since it's legal precendence was made by the Irish Free State in 1922.
This against the background of increased criminalisation and illegalisation of the extreme faction of Basque nationalism the now familiar to all HB/ETA grouping.
Mario Rajoy the PP leader elect and succesor to Aznar and possible next president of Spain will next week go to hear first hand the worries of the Basques, whose popular opinion a year on since the illegalisation of HB, still show no wide support for the armed campaign, but significantly no sign of diminished nationalism.
In fact to the contrary, the application of linguistic policies akin to Humboldts "language carries culture" in which the use of the Basque tongue has further been illegalised and hampered by the PP has cuased a subtle but descernible backlash.
Manu Chou has written a lengthy statement on the condition of his friend Fermin Muguruza, and perhaps influenced by his own background is taking the whole thing very emotionally.
Manu of Catalan descent was born in Paris after his father a anarcho-syndicalist journalist was exiled by the Franco regime some years after his imprisonment and torture.
Manu in his words:
€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€
Lo que he leido sobre mi amigo
Fermin Muguruza
estos dias en cierta prensa me escandaliza profundamente.
El retrato que se quiere dar
del personaje es
totalitariamente caricaturizado,
tendencioso, ademas de
en las antipodas de la verdadera persona
con quien canto y comparto escenario cada dia.
Frente a los ataques agresivos,
hostiles e injustos a los cuales
esta sometido
Fermin sabe que puede contar
con todo mi aguante y apoyo.
El espectaculo Jai/Alai Katumbi Express
siempre fue y sera unico e indivisible!
…Radio Bemba non grata en la ciudad…
Acusados de promover asesinatos,
de ser defensores del terrorismo
mas sanguinario, y no se cuantas burradas mas…
Si no se tratase de palabras mayores
todo se quedaria simplemente en una
broma ridicula , absurda, y aburrida…
Palabras en el viento, se las lleva la corriente….
Pero en este caso preciso las acusaciones duelen…y ofenden.
Duelen y ofenden
porque distorsionan
y torturan
nuestra imagen publica
y nuestros
ideales mas profundos.
Yo naci en Paris.
Me crie en una republica.
Y si algo me enseño
esa republica es que todos
nacemos iguales,
y que mi libertad
se acaba ahi donde empieza
la de los vecinos.
Lo tengo clarisimo.
Y eso implica un rechazo
permanente de cualquier
forma de violencia intencionada
o gratuita a otra persona.
Tambien pienso y siento
que este mundo se ha disparado…
…en un sin fin de violencias cada dia
mas terribles por ser absurdas…
…definitivamente absurdas y sin salida…
…Cual es ahora la salida a la crisis en Irak ?
Nadie lo sabe!
…Cual es ahora la salida a la crisis en Euskadi ?
Nadie lo sabe!
Yo tampoco!
Quizas dandole
una oportunidad
a la palabra.
Y no , como bien dice
Vazquez Montalban,
intentando apagar
el fuego echandole mas gasolina.
Esta todo hecho un lio !
Estamos tod@s revolcaos
en un merengue colosal !
Y yo me pregunto:
Quien tiene intereses
en que haya tanto lio ?
Quien saca patatas del fuego
cuando a tod@s toca espina ?
Quien necesita desestabilizarlo todo ?
Quien necesita reprimir, para mejor reinar..
Para mejor ganar, mas dinero, a corto plazo,
como maleducados…sin pensar en nada mas…
…ni en el futuro de sus propios hijos… ?
…lo unico que se yo y que me espanta,
es que la mayoria de los que nos gobiernan
son de esa indole suicida para cualquier
solucion humanamente fraternal…en Euskadi,
como en España o en gran parte del resto del mundo conocido…
y asi me despido…
..gracias por la atencion…
…nos vemos por la carretera…
…buscando un ideal…
…cada dia mas dificil de alcanzar…
…La cosa esta jodida…
…Hay que estar atentos !
…La democracia vacila por arriba…
…Vienen a por uno…
…y nadie dice na…
Vienen a por otro…
…y nadie dice na…
…o tan pocos…
…los que poco a poco sufren las trampas…
…cada dia mas groseras…
…en sus propias carnes…
…y aunque seamos mucha mayoria…
.. como contra esa absurda guerra…
…ni nos escuchan…
…con toda prepotencia…
…nos cagan chapapote…
…nos invaden las rias..
……desacreditando…
…ahogando en mentiras…
……desocializando…
…dividiendo a la sociedad…
…cierran periodicos en Euskadi…
…y nos vomitan mas mentiras…
…que estamos en peligro…
…que hace falta represion !
…que todos los que no pensamos como ellos
…somos peligrosos terroristas…
……viejos tiempos estan DE VUELTA…
… …
Los mismos viejos tiempos,
mismos vientos rancios
que hicieron que en vez de nacer en Bilbo o en Galiza… tuviese que nacer en Paris.
Lejos de mis profundas raices.
Para seguir con lo dolido,
quisiera mos, como Radio Bemba,
disculparnos
con toda la gente de Malaga y Murcia
por no haber podido presentar
este martes y el proximo Jueves
nuestro espectaculo
Jai/Alai Katumbi Express
por razones
totalmente ajenas
a nuestra voluntad.
En una proxima nos vemos.
Ya vendran mejores tiempos.
estemos atentos.
proxima estacion : Esperanza.
