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 be angry at spending 15 Euro to hear about the issues Michael Meacher has had the courage to raise? Very few people inside any modern state have been so clear, well informed and courageous about going so widely 'off message' - He probably missed out on the many backhanders and payoffs/rewards which our representatives are now so accustomed to receiving for toeing the party line. He is a reliable and first hand witness into the way our governments are selling us out. We need more like Meacher, surely?

Sustainable living? Come again -he's nearly got more houses than a Provo portfolio!!
Meacher owner of nine homes - Meacher's many homes
David Hencke and Rob Evans
Saturday January 20, 2001
Guardian
Michael Meacher, the environment minister, has built up a property portfolio of at least nine and up to 12 homes with his second wife, Lucianne, worth a minimum of £2m, a joint investigation by the Guardian and the Mark Thomas Product TV programme reveals today.
The leftwing minister, who nearly 20 years ago condemned posh homes as "status symbols" and part of the Thatcherite divide, has built up most of the portfolio in the 1990s, with his latest purchases coming after taking up his government post.
Mr Meacher and his wife own a house in Wimbledon; a country retreat in Gloucestershire and a terraced property in his Oldham constituency. Between them they are building up a portfolio of flats in Wimbledon, Balham and Putney in south London which are being let. His wife is a director of three property companies.
Mr Meacher, who two years ago condemned second home owners for preventing young people in rural areas from getting a foot on the property ladder, has a Cotswold house worth more than £500,000 according to local estate agents.
Andrew Lansley, the Conservative spokesman on the Cabinet Office, said: "I intend to write to Mr Meacher asking him to explain how this fits in with the ministerial code of conduct and whether he has informed his colleagues of his financial interests if he participates in discussions on housing matters."
I know Sustainable has an expensive business to keep afloat and a Village to build but they really could do things on much much cheaper scale.
We aren't perfect - nor is Meacher, but if only perfect people spoke out there would be (perhaps blissful) silence. Okay so he's a capitalist too, but isnt it funny how the press mostly point the finger at those who have opposed the war or environmental damage in any way. Where are the articles exposing the saints of this world like Bush Senior or Bertie? Just a thought.
Bush talking about freedom.
Bertie talking about the need for wage restraint.
Meacher talking about sustainable living.
It's all hyprocrisy. Just doing my civic duty posting the article. People have a right to know about the large scale hypocrisy - don't they?
But people are often more than the sum of their hypocrisy. Meacher may be hypocritical in one sphere and capable of making some very truthful and pertinent observations in another. There's a lot of hypocrisy abuot the hypocrisy too. Most of the people laying into Meacher are probably not at all interested in sustainable living, which makes them hypocrites too. What most of you are about, really, is denigrating an outspoken opposer of the war in Iraq. That's Meacher's real 'crime' and why he comes in for so much of this stuff.
