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.

Don’t let them deport him
An Angolan man who fled to Ireland to escape torture and imprisonment is now threatened with deportation by the Minister for Justice. If Michael McDowell succeeds in throwing him out of the country, he faces death. He needs your support if he is to stay safely in Ireland.
Sebastiao Mpembele Kalamandua was conscripted into the Angolan army in 1999 while he was studying architecture. He was forced to take part in Angola’s civil war, and was then imprisoned after the authorities accused him of passing on classified information. In prison he was tortured, and suffered five months of solitary confinement. In 2001 he managed to escape, and reached Ireland. His wife and three children are probably still in Angola, but Sebastiao has no knowledge of their whereabouts.
Here in Ireland, Sebastiao has attended counselling at the Centre for the Care of Survivors of Torture, who have drawn up a medical report on his case. He is a volunteer with the Special Olympics, and is due to accompany the Irish team to the Special Olympics in Japan in February. He is also an unpaid apprentice with the Irish Modern Dance Theatre, and has taken part in acclaimed performances.
In November, Sebastiao was served with a deportation order from Michael McDowell. If he is deported to Angola, he is certain to face imprisonment, torture and death. The deportation has been challenged in the courts, but the Minister has the power to let him stay in Ireland on humanitarian grounds. Don’t let Sebastiao be deported to his death: support the campaign to let him stay.
What you can do:
Sign the petition demanding
that the Minister for Justice let Sebastiao stay.
Write to the Minister yourself:

History repeating?
Nigerina Embassy: noyhing ever bad happens in our country?
Angolan Embassy nothing ever bad happens in our country?
Silly me for thinking the relevant Embassies, Amnesty International, the UN High Commisioner for Refugees, the High Court, the Irish Government etc etc having thoroughly and meticulously investigated the claim, at great expense, know slightly more than RAR about this matter . My abject apologies.
Perhaps you will prove the claim here with some relevant proof/information/links that have brought you to the conclusion that this is still a valid claim and explain why the aformentioned agencies failed to act on them.
Have RAR representatives in these Countries validating claims?
Then, just to clear all matters up, how about explaining how Ireland was the first safe country this particular individual encountered.
What crime is he accused of?
We have to remember that RAR are often very quick to demand that those facing death sentences should be allowed to stay no matter what, regardless of what crime they might have committed.
So, what crime is he accused of back in Angola?
The RAR article states:
(Sebastiao Mpembele Kalamandua was conscripted into the Angolan army in 1999 while he was studying architecture. He was forced to take part in Angola’s civil war, and was then imprisoned after the authorities accused him of passing on classified information. In prison he was tortured, and suffered five months of solitary confinement.)
What remains unclear is how this story remains unsubstantiated by anyone (except RAR?), how this man escaped solitary confinement, his method and means of appearing in Ireland, why he was not killed when in prison or why critical information concerning his present whereabouts is posted here for the entire world to see if he truly is in need of protection..
What we have here now is Tony using a different name but the same tactic of espousing nonsense. Nobody should respond to this person.
