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.

Why would Bush trash America's largest port?
The USA (bread basket of the world) infrustructure can NOT transport it's agricultural bounty except on the Mississippi river and through N.O.
Silos are already full, the harvest is already under way in some northern states. But that food stock is not going ANYWHERE.
As hunger and starvation around the world escalates, hostilities should be expected to increase. Starving hopeless people are much more prone to wage war. And to protect you from the chaos created by Bush's actions and innactions, expect to hear more and more calls for big brother (Bush and his neocon handlers) to step in and save us. Bush will not just end up the dictator of the US, but of the entire "Free wolrd". And that includes YOU. And if that prick doesn't lift a finger to save his own fellow countrymen, what can Irland expect???
Correction: Buffoon, not baboon, you said.
I don't call people baboons or suggest to adversaries that they get counselling. I don't despise anyone. President Bush had no responsibility to "save" Iraq but as US President he undertook to do so, "spreading democracy" as he (smilingly) put it. The country of which he is President needed help urgently but he failed them miserably. Too much spent on that far away country with which he had this strange fascination - and which he destroyed, creating havoc and calling it democracy. Your belief that he is a "sensitive, caring, humane person" - what evidence have you for that belief or is it just a matter of faith?
Was he sensitive at the religious service for the victims of the Twin Towers atrocity when he turned around in church pulling funny faces at someone down in the body of the church? Was he caring when he shunted young men and women out to die and never appeared at their funerals. Is he caring towards Cindy Sheehan whose son Casey was sacrificed for Bush's cause in Iraq? Humane? Please tell me - as this is one adjective I would never associate with George W Bush.
Sources for my information: that exterme, left wing, radical anti-war magazine, Time.
Justin, I believe President Bush to be a sensitive, caring, humane person. However I've not come to that conclusion by studying video of facial tics, grins or smirks. I'm sure you have a plethora of reasons to utterly despise President Bush - but if his tv demeanour is one of them I'd urge counselling.
Anyhoo, if you knew even a little about US politics, apart from what you read at EvilChimpyBushHalliburton.com, you would realise the administration is not responsible for a city's governance.
Where's your disgust with Mayor Ray Nagin?
This buffoon has probably caused the deaths of thousands through his utter incompetence.
on TV and see if he cares tuppence about people- any people - dying as a result of the long delay in getting aid to the area.
Notice the half smile that flickers around his lips when he uses a sound bite. "And I'll tell you why!!!".
Notice too the look of despair on the faces of the people that are with him.
You may want to defend him to the death and that's your prerogative. I think he bears responsibility big time for the extent of this disaster.
And why would President Bush need exonerating?
The federal government is not responsible for the failure of evacuation. The city is responsible and as the highest elected official - the buck stops at the mayor.
But I guess there's no agendas against Mayor Nagin around these parts.
This is a message of sympathy, not a judgement from a tribunal of Inquiry.
In no way does it exonerate Bush
the terribly human, european or even Irish Katrina did not cause this. She was merely a wind, a zephyr of unusual but not unpredicted magnitude. There will be others like her, and next years mens' names too.
New Orleans and the three gulf states are national human disasters.
They result from poor disaster prevention, relief or assistance at local and federal level. All regimes, all the trinity of presidents.
Flooding caused the disaster. Not the wind.
The wind destroyed roads and buildings but the water came through broken dykes and uncared for rivers.
And on and on the language emerges, as a globalised american drama complete with its jargon, codewords, its beligerancy and calls for sympathy and support, the "war's homefront" -
US Americans are refugees. Looters are insurgents. Other american refugees from other winds whose names are now forgotten are aliens. Survivors of Africa are poorly housed sans papiers who need to be rounded up though Chirac is shocked and De Villepin's 100 days are almost up, and sent back. "for their own good".
London's, Rome's, Berlin's, NYC's, Nederlands' poor are reliant on what advice? what plan? what prediction? Europe may feel better prepared, less at risk,.. Civilised. But what are we to do if this happens? What do we do in the next 50 years when nuke "accidents" occur.
The criminal negligence of the Bush regime has caused the deaths of thousands. This should be the focus. Bush commands a huge fleet of air, sea and land vehicles. Yet babies die for lack of water and tens of thousands wait , and beg, and plead, for days for help. This is an atrocity. It is war on the poor. Nice sounding 'humanitarian' concern is wonderful from a Nobel prize winner. But it exonerates the Bush criminality.
