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 4 5 6 7 8 9provos also bombing england then.....looks like this irish Ripper knew ho to really hurt e brits
Though I have not yet had a chance to read it carefully, I received some information by e-mail on this subject a few days ago.
The information in question, which I have only had time to just glance through parts of very quickly please note, could nevertheless be described as "truly amazing" - judging from the few bits and pieces I have so far read.
For further information, please see:
http://www.marbleandgranitetiles.com/johnhumble.htm
If there is another man still out there killing women since 1981, the killer is to blame.
Having read through the information on the website it is an absolute utter disgrace that West Yorkshire Police can get away with this. Obviously the Sutcliffe trial was just one big cover up! disgusting to say the least.
The following link is quite amazing. I hadn't realised the scale of the problem:
Nobody wants to admit to being a fool.
Nobody wants to admit to the extent to which we rely on the mass media
for our perceptions of the world.
If we acknowledge that George Oldfield, Ronald Gregory and Dick Holland
were LYING to the assembled world newspapers and TV at that infamous
press conference in January 1981, and that we've all accepted their
filthy lies ever since, just because they were published in the
newspapers.........
If we acknowledge that...... where does it leave us?
If a dirty little c--- like Ron Gregory can walk out in front of the
world's assembled media, with that nervous false and fake smile on his
face, which sometimes gave way to a worried frown, and tell a pack of
lies to the media, and if we all believe it for twenty-five years, only
because some dirty little c--- like Ron Gregory stated it in front of a
TV camera............... What does that imply for all the other things
we consider to be facts because some other dirty little c--- walked out
in front of a TV camera and recited some other pack of lies to
us.........?
This changes everything.
To face up to the Yorkshire Ripper cover up is a life changing
experience.
That is why people avoid it.
It happened.
The facial expressions and body language of George Oldfield, Ronald
Gregory and Dick Holland at that farcical press conference following
Peter Sutcliffe's arrest - tell us all we need to know. It's all on
video, and we're going to get some enlarged still images of the
expression on George Oldfield's face back then........ the man who
caught the Yorkshire Ripper, and the expression on the face of the man
who caught the Yorkshire Ripper..................
It reveals the degree to which we all have been such gullible fools in
terms of what is presented to us in the mass media.
No matter how trendy or 'alternative' or radical you believe yourself
to be..... you still fell for the big lie that Peter Sutcliffe is the
Yorkshire Ripper.
When you face up to the fact that Peter Sutcliffe is NOT the Yorkshire
Ripper and that George Oldfield, Ronald Gregory and Dick Holland were
LYING at that press conference which fooled the whole world, because
anything a policeman says in front of a TV camera must be true........
it changes your life.
The 'trendy lefties' and trendy 'new agers' or whatever they are called
now - in particular are dodging the Yorkshire Ripper cover up like the
plague, because they thought they were the big guys who could not
possibly be taken in by media lies. But the trendy lefties and
anarchists and the rest of the self-glorifiers were all taken in
completely by that fake press conference following Peter Sutcliffe's
arrest in 1981.
So they can't face up to it.
It's a life-changing experience if you face up to the Yorkshire Ripper
cover up.
Do YOU have the guts for it?
I am fascinated by these revelations, even though I am not sure whether to believe them or not.
Please tell us more.
Well if you're serious, just go to Noel O'Gara's website on this subject, which should be available at
http://www.yorkshireripper.co.uk
or if that fails just do a search.
A search might come up with some funny threads, as there are certain forces at work trying to contaminate and sabotage this discussion, which is hardly surprising.
However, the discerning reader will soon separate the wheat from the chaff.
THE CORE FACTS OF THIS CASE WILL NEVER GO AWAY
If you have a tape of the BBC TV (not Channel Four) documentary about
the John Humble case, broadcast earlier this year, go to the 43-minute
mark to find a telling scene proving the core facts of the Yorkshire
Ripper cover up.
Paraphrasing from BBC TV:
In late 1979 a secret document was released to every police force in
the land, telling them the criteria for eliminating from the enquiry
men suspected of involvement in the Yorkshire Ripper killings.
Then you see on screen a copy or reproduction of that police document
which clearly states in bold type that any man whose "blood group is
other than B" can be eliminated from suspicion of being the Yorkshire
Ripper - meaning the Yorkshire Ripper has blood group B, which Peter
Sutcliffe does not.
How did they get away with it?
People avoid facing up to this partly because it's so embarrassing for
all of us, in terms of how the world's assembled media were so easily
fooled by corrupt police at that phoney press conference after
Sutcliffe's arrest, and also how we all passively accepted the constant
lies about Peter Sutcliffe in the media for the past twenty-five years.
As knowledge of this case spreads, it is destroying the last vestiges
of credibility for both the police and the media. For their own sakes,
it is better if the police and the media come clean on this one now.
