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.

Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

I was one of those protesters that you have falsely accused, yes we did block the roads but we had informed the police service that we would be doing so in excess of 7 weeks in advance of our action. So any problems caused with the gridlock the complaints should be sent to the Cumbrian Police service.
We did jump on cars you are correct but only because they were being driven at us at speed, I myself was almost hit twice save for the actions of a fellow protester who pulled me out of the way I would have been hit. Another protester was carried over half a mile on the bonnet of a car that had attempted to knock him down.
We did not at any stage destroy or damage private property, any property that was damaged was the property of BNFL which is a 100% British Government owned company so therefore public property.
As for you comment on terrorism, get a life, we are not terrorist and have nothing to do with them. We are peaceful protesters who use Non Violent Direct Action as our tool of choice.
Regards,
Joe Sheehan

I was there at the previous demo in Nov. 01. I just wanted to respond to the demonstrators being accused of endangering the lives of the commuters on the morning of the blockade.
Putting it into perspective, the continuous real danger that BNFL exposes not only its workers, but all the people of Cumbria to, EVERY day of the year, totally over-rides the potential danger caused by the blockade that morning.
We are very aware of the blackmail which Sellafield/The UK Government forces on Cumbrians. With almost 10,000 working there, and no alternative jobs being made available, there is NO CHOICE for the people. But, you don't have to accept that you're being treated as second class citizens. You all have a right to SAFER JOBS, and it's about time you spoke out about it. Quitting Sellafield in the morning isn't an option for most, but organising and demanding alternatives from the government IS. It's not an Irish Vs. British issue either...it's a people Vs. Big Business/Government issue. It's your countryside, your children...please help us protect them.

Proven deaths from BNFL = 0
Proven deaths from Irish terrorists = Greater than 3,000 since 1969
As was said previously by my English friend - get your own house in order first!
How many millions murdered/died as a result of British foreign policy since whenever you care to start counting? If you want to be insulting you could at least pick a topic that makes sense. The Irish government does not/did not support the IRA nor do the VAST majority of the people. However, regular harassment of ordinary people, shoot to kill policies, intelligence support for Loyalist paramilitaries were supported by the British government which is a whole different kettle of fish. No one has a monopoly on virtue.
The effects of a serious accident at Sellafield would be devastating to the people on the East coast of Ireland and in a huge area around Sellafield. People have a right to assert their desire for a safe environment.
We put it in order years ago when the people travelled to Carnsore point to PREVENT a nuclear reactor being built in Ireland.
No one was put at risk by our actions. The police knew very well we'd move for emergency vehicles.
the fact that all the money in Cumbria goes on subsidising Sellafield and not on things like decent roads, means that whenever there is an accident on the A595 (some of which have INVLOLVED BNFL uranium transporters) everything is blocked. Unlike us, crashed cars won't move so quickly to let emergency services through.
You say you have a right to go to work - fine.
We have a right to protest your work as it put our lives in danger.
If you think a traffic jam is a greater crime than a badly run, accident ridden nuclear plant, then YOU should get YOUR house in order!
taken from the Sunday times;
Ronald Hanas who supervised storage of materials at Sellafield, has made the following complaints about the plant
1. Failure to register 328 items of radioactive material.
2. Illegal storage of radioactive materials in a warehouse in a nearby town.
3. The loan of radioactive material to unauthorised recipient.
4. Transport of plutonium on public highways in unsuitable containers.
5. Repeatadly leaving radioactive material unsupervised.
6. Tampering of seals on containers so radioactive material could be moved without check.
7. Allowing water from storage ponds to precolate into water tables.
Would Mister BNFL employee like to answer any of these charges.....
And you have the fucking AUDACITY to tell us to get our house in order.
One fuck up on your part (and by the sounds of it safety ain't your highest priority) and that figure of 3,000 you like to wave around, is going to be dwarfed by the amount of dead in the UK and Ireland.
Shut down Sellafield, before it's too late.
Aidan
