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 3 4another pal of the hacker community might be Detective Garda who is named as a member of the team who forensically examined the hard-disc of a 41 year old Irish computer technician's OC box. The man known as Mr D-a-l-y, was verified to be compressing images of child pornography. He has received sentancing. He didn't actually do anything physically wrong, so we presume the legislation has no "l-o-o-p-h-o-l-e-s"

I personally believe that if tomorrow Brazil could offer us server and meta-search or spider search internet facilities, we would as a lumpen global counter culture militant class of sunday school anarchists move all our binary. Unfortuanately the internet since its Swiss CERN birth, has been swamped by US & to a lesser extent the general anglo-saxon world's (meaning Eire & UK) capitalist influence. Influence which combined with the peculiarities of European state database law have meant the shift in use of our wonderful tool from shared & open information to dating & commerce. I very much appreciated Minister Gilberto Gil's comments coming as they did in my home city yesterday. Here's his website :-
http://www.gilbertogil.com.br/ & yes he does have dreads. Imagine that! a government minister with dreadlocks.

Whether or not Mr Mc Kinnon found US evidence of the existence of E.B.E.'s or not, we must remember that answers are always to be found.... the truth is out there! . Just don't go looking for the truth in Uncle Sam's supercomputers. If Gary has committed any crime, it was to give those very same machines a chance to analyse his hack. I ask you again to support him. http://www.spy.org.uk/freegary/ http://freegary.org.uk/ http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/05/06/124...m=rss

Brazil is one of the 5 planetary hotspots for UFO (and/or) EBE sightings or reports. Aside from the declassification of some of the former USSR's information on this very "post WW2 - 20th century story", Brazil is still the only state of "large terrestial surface area" which has completely declassified its reports.
http://www.ufo.com.br/
http://www.rense.com/general65/braz.htm It is also the only state which has declared the results of its combined scientific, biological & military investigation as something other than inconclusive
oh yes. as the ipsiphi says :-
yiz r in a f@kin garden
how clever do u think u can B?
its the claw !
Gary Mc Kinnon is a young man of generally nerdish type who rose to global prominence when accused in 2002 by the US defence forces of perpetrating "the greatest hack of military history" .
He on the contrary just said he was looking for proof of aliens & wanted to pierce the veil on UFO files.
Since then we've seen his case get ever more serious & be heard in ever higher courts as the threat to extradite him from his home in the UK to the USA became ever more certain. Yet there he still is over in Britain more than a year since he lost his appeal. & yesterday he got permission to take an appeal to the highest court in the UK which is the house of Lords & his legal team are also now mooting bringing his case to the European court of Human rights.
well well. stick that in a jar & lable it.
I append this latest twist to the Mc Kinnon story here because of the last years he has never enjoyed a thread all to himself. Gary has popped up on a few threads depending on what his latest news seems to counterpoint well with. Thus when in an interview he described his fears of going to Guantanamo (where no-one hears you scream) I included that titbit in a reflection on the letters written by Ahmadinajed to Bush. & today I think the best counterpoint for Gary is the news that GCHQ (the UK's eavesdropping secret service roughly equivalent to the american NSA) has decided to take the plunge in human resources recruitment which is pop up adverts in online games .
well well stick that in a jar & lable it. Now you see it, now you block it.....If you want to work in snooping emails and telephone calls in both your local Ireland & wherever the gloom of espoinage & nosiness still lie on the former British empire click this box.... if not wait a few moments and you can be Laura Croft or shoot up aliens with your mates........but wait just think about it.........you're unemployed, bit nerdy, wear an ahmadinejad jacket with allour, you're just like Gary.....you could have a job...........

& let's be honest Gary has been stuck in a jar and labelled for some time now for many purposes, the most important of which does not appear to be protecting US Defence computers against western geeky hackers.
