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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2END THE OCCUPATION OF IRAQ & PALESTINE
U.S. MILITARY OUT OF SHANNON
The US lied about weapons of mass destruction to justify a bloody war in Iraq. Up to 100,000 Iraqis are dead as result of the US invasion. 1,500 US soldiers are also dead. The US now says it is bringing democracy and freedom to Iraq. This is also a lie. The US war has devastated Iraq. Lack of clean water, power and medical services mean disease and suffering are rife. Seventy percent of Iraqis are now unemployed and living in poverty.
Meanwhile, US multinationals, with links to the Bush administration, have made billions of dollars in reconstruction contracts paid for with money supposed to provide aid to Iraq. The US now also controls Iraq's huge oil revenues.
The US assault on Fallujah late last year was a bloody massacre. About 3,000 civilians, including 500 children, were murdered. 200,000 fled the city and thousands of homes were destroyed. Across Iraq, hundreds are still dying every month as violence rages between the US and insurgent forces. The US and Britain have been involved in widespread torture and sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners. Human Rights organisations say the US is still engaged in flagrant abuses of International law in their treatment of prisoners.
The majority of Iraqis want the US and its allies to leave Iraq. Opinion polls show 80 percent Sunni and Shia, want the US out now. As long as US/UK troops remain, violence and suffering will continue. US military and financial support for Israel also bolsters the illegal occupation of Palestine. Thousands of Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military . millions are denied the most basic human rights.
Bertie Ahern and the Irish government are still supporting US warmongering. The number of US troops travelling through Shannon to Iraq has risen to about 20,000 per month. The government are destroying Irish neutrality and ignoring the wishes of the majority of Irish people.
On March 19th . the second anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq . protests will take place across the world to demand an end to the occupation of Iraq and Palestine. Here in Ireland, the protest will also demand the Irish government end the use of Shannon by the US military.
Join the Global Protest on Saturday March 19th at 2pm, Parnell Square, Dublin.
If you wish to help build the protest or join the Irish Anti-War Movement please contact us.
Two years after President Bush led the country to war in Iraq, Americans appear to be of two minds about the situation in the Middle East: A majority say they believe the Iraqis are better off today than they were before the conflict began -- but they also say the war was not worth fighting in the first place, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
[....]
Despite the optimism about the future, the poll suggests there has been little change in the negative public opinion about the decision to go to war. Fifty-three percent of Americans said the war was not worth fighting, 57 percent said they disapprove of the president's handling of Iraq, and 70 percent said the number of U.S. casualties, including more than 1,500 deaths, is an unacceptable price.
[....]
{ then it gets weird...} → In the new poll, 56 percent said they think Iraq had weapons of mass destruction before the start of the war and 6 in 10 said they believe Iraq provided direct support to the al Qaeda terrorist network, which struck the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. Also, 55 percent of Americans said the administration told people what it believed to be true, while 43 percent believe the administration deliberately misled the country.
