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 >>

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3the 6th of September saw Reporters sans frontieres issue a condemnation of the continuing ban by the Alawi government on Al Jazeera. The office has since been completely closed.
if you visit the RSF site you will read details of all journalists and media professionals who have been killed or arrested whilst fulfilling their obligation as professionals.
There isn't a website where you may learn of the women killed while working and fulfilling their obligation as professionals. But there are plenty of movies.
What at first seems to be completely unrelated afterwards seems to be have been linked all along if only by being another value in any assigned set.
Added to the conditions which according to "interim" media organisations now credited with reporting events within Iraq and other states of the region, in a factual and professional way, put to the French government for the release of the two journalists is adherence to Osama's Europe declaration.
It is quite odd, that aside from the doubts to it's veracity, Europe has all but forgotten the declaration made by the man who Bush failed to find, regarding the terms he would accept for "leaving us alone".
I don't think anyone should go blaming him at the moment for "not leaving us alone".
For I am still not convinced it is so simple to define what is meant by "us".
But many of us must admit, we have thought -
"why not just leave these people alone."

as ireland learns from The Independent.
the taoiseach has appealed for the release of a British subject who was kidnapped recently in Iraq.
Al Jazeera's offices in iraq were closed by the Alawi government, an event protested by the above organisation "reporters sans frontiers". The two french journalists story has been subject to a news "black out" by the French authorities but the interolocutors being used in that case proceeded from religious, and Baghdad community leaders and another pan arabic tv satelite channel.
The Taoiseach's message therefore will have been transmitted to the Qatar offices of Al J. (something not being mentioned by the irish press). Bertie regularly requests the release of all hostages, but generally in another "way".
from their captivity.
Their photos are above.
They will arrive ("in good health") at Paris in the next hour.
