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.

"You know its a bad world when people eat cows."
Wish them a "Happy Crucifixion!" at Easter.
Or call around to your Christian neighbour, hand then 3 nails and ask them to put you up for the night!
Would you be so free with the religious insults, with say, a Muslim?
If you're a Xtian and you are offended by Pat's comment, well hey, forgive him.
Yes I would.IMHO all Religions deserve to be mocked. The Religious practices of Muslims are just as silly as those of Catholics.
I mock their "prophet" who was either suffering a schizophrenic vision, was out of his mind on drugs/booze or was a charlatan when he claimed Allah spoke to him.
The same goes for Moses, St Paul, Joe Smith or anyother crackpot who "god" spoke to.
All Religions want to control peoples lives to a greater or lesser extent.
Its time to fight back!
No Gods!
No Masters!
has today adressed not only those of his Roman Communion, but of those who walk with him in the other apostolic faiths (such as Orthodox of Greece and Kiev and the Russias, Anglicans of europe and africa, Maronite and Coptic) and those of the Jewish Talmudic faith (such as ashkenazy, sephardic and hasidic traditions) and those of the Islamic faith (such as shi'ite and sunni)
'I want to express special recognition of the closeness of believers of other religions, particularly Jews and Muslims. Some of them wanted to come and pray here at the hospital. And that for me is a comforting sign, for which I thank God,' he is reported as saying.
Joaquin Navarro-Valls the vatican spokesperson has confirmed that Leonardo Sandri of the Vatican Secretariat of State is for the moment the spokesperson for the Roman Pontiff, and as such, he read the message this morning.

It is very important for those with an interest in ethics, and the struggle against evil, which is caused by the solely materialist philosophies of either centralised and totalitarian state communism or unchecked imperialist free market capitalism wed to speculative science, to "nota bene" that the vast majority of the poorest and indeed of the most wealthy of this planet belong to the faithful followers of the traditions of the Books which teach belief in one true, omnipotent God creator of this planet and the species "homo sapiens".
It is time for recognition of such to be added to the Constitution of the European Union as it seeks to expand its wealth, prosperity and security to the peoples of the Levant, North Africa and beyond.
and take part in the SPQR march of pentitents for this year's Good Friday celebrations as promised.
But Joseph Ratzinger took over (quel surprise?) and brought the faithful through the motions.
Today's news is an unknown man has climbed onto the basilica of St Peter's in Rome, (named after a man who wasn't present for the crucifixtion) the man is thought to be 46 years old, (how they know that?) and was seen by SkyTg24 (a heavenly franchise who get bored often) clambering onto the roof.
The Swiss have not commented at this breach of Holy See security.
The Indo have-

they got it from Reuters in Italy-
he's told functionaries that unless the Vatican start a lottery for orphans he'll jump, which will probably put him on a life support machine at the very least.
Sweet Holy God, and his blessèd mother
and all the saints, according to Peruvian Wireless the man has now come down off the roof of St Peters.

and he's aged.
The Peruvians say he's 59 years of age now, and comes from the central Italian province of Aquila.
He was recognised by his mammy who saw him on the Sky24tg because she doesn't get out much, and in any case she doesn't have enough money to justify going further than the local bakery at the crack of dawn every morning.
& he's a right nutter!!!!
he was in a psychiatric institute from 1983 to 1986.
