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 2 3I think this individual is as entitled as the rest of us to the knowledge available regarding how to improve his love life, keep it up etc.
Wikipedia whose quick response to benedict xvi was remarked on in these comments-
has now entered a phase of critical editorial challenging, the first of its kind, on the decision by the wiki people (mostly live in Texas) to remove the war time record of Joseph Ratzinger from the biography they published for him on his election as pope.
You may also see a photo of him in his war-time record at those comments.
Meanwhile according to swissinfo, the general stabbing of italian press led by repubblica (also aluded to in those comments) is that ratzinger entered the conclave with deals and so made before to carry on the continuity of the church, _yet did not choose Jonh paul 3 as name_ and with the warning to avoid a "long conclave" which would make people in "media land" think the church was divided. It has to be noted that german and swedish and dutch media titles were disparaging of the election of benedict xvi, the largest german tabloid front covered "ach mein gott" which is hardly avoiding jokes. Whereas the spanish dailies varied from "habemus ratzinger" to " hard pope" to "benedict xvi" as headlines and today rather curious national stereotyping appeared in all daily newspapers in France, Spain and Portugal, with cardinals depicted goosestepping, ratzinger depicted in a prussian spikey hat (bit silly prussia was lutheran) and so on so forth.
(alluded to in the comments)
So far three theologically qualified challengers have briefed the world media on their thoughts, two are Roman catholic Boff of South america and Kung of germany, (alluded to in the comments to our big "pope file") and one Anglican the archibishop Desmond Tutu (black chap).
Today the spanish voted to approve homosexual civil unions, something that is likely to rub against the grain of the newly enthroned pontificacy but has met with less media objection that in the past. Perhaps due to the recent surprise election of a basque bishop to the job of chairman of the spanish bishops long held by a castillian ultra-conservative. The Spanish government have expressed their wish to continue "in continuity" with the Vatican as is like the 400+ years way.
For their part the U$A RC church and evangelical christians found an ally in Ratzinger's crew in these last years on the "life" question. Quite odd considering the amount of money poured into biotech and war, they agree on life support machines as proved by the Shiavo case brought by her Schindler parents, and the "excommunication" of John Kerry by God's reitweiller.
(its all in the comments & visual images we use some people get robbed and need dough [passover joke] too clever by half)

People of all persuasions are welcomed and encouraged to sign:

To: His Holiness, Benedict XVI, Pope and Bishop of Rome
Your Holiness:
Please be assured of our prayers on your behalf as you take on the responsibilities of the Petrine Office.
Jesus of Nazareth calls all men and women, in all times, and especially in these challenging days, to take up their Cross and follow Him. [Matt. X: 38; XVI: 24; Mark VIII: 34; Luke XIX: 23; XIV: 27].
We witness today prominent men who flippantly call on the Holy Name [Ex. XX: 7] to bless and sanction their criminal acts and take unto themselves the title "Christian". Yet, the Lord Himself warns that "not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." [Matt. VII: 21.]
"Blessed are the peacemakers", He assures us, "for they shall be called the children of God. [Matt. V: 9.]
Liars, on the other hand, are the children of Satan, because the devil is the father of lies. [John VIII: 44].
St. Paul admonishes us: "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." [Eph. V: 11].
We respectfully urge you to consider the state of the world today, in the light of Sacred Scripture and the Apostolic Tradition, in particular the prophesies of Daniel, Paul and John and to expose and repudiate George W. Bush as the "Man of Sin" [II Thess. II: 3], the "Beast" [Apocalypse XI: 7] and the very Antichrist [I John II: 18].
Sincerely,
The Undersigne
