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.

The Global iMC site has more news and links to the Mexican and nyc reportage: http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml
Felipe Calderon the Presidnt elect of Mexico, will take office on the First of December.
He 'thinks' that the main problem facing Mexico is the situation at Oaxaca-
The pretty tourist town-(ex-colonial) is under fire from a 'Gang of Lefties' , native
Americans and Mezcal drinkers. (does he mean Mescalito).The tourist industry is in danger,
never mind that the Mexican centre shut down for seven weeks, paralysed because of the
claim of vote-rigging by the Calderon side.
Voters and activist loyal to Andres Manuel lopez are still claiming fraud. Ruiz who is
responsible for the put down will probably face an enquiry at some point, as to the
methods used by the Federales of quashing protest. Calderon has not commented
on the 700 mile long 'Rabbit Proof fence' which Bush agreed as a counter-terrorist measure.
Though the Republican candidate insisted that it was an immigration control method
and that it would be guarded by military and local police enforcement.
The Chiapas Group published the photos of Oaxaca in the last weeks- they are worth
a glimpse : http://www.indymedia.ie/article/78558
Calderon's job is focus attention away from the nasty fence and onto the Oaxaca
situation- thus removing the questions about why a democracy movement protesting
for basic rights and calling for a review of the election were put down so completely.
Emergent Democracy movements are often isolated and lied about in Mainstream
media , that is why alternative media is so important. In Reuters Calderon is quoted
as saying that the issues in Oaxaca are isolated and caused by trouble-makers.
So Calderon actually commented on Oaxaca, He is of course the man that Bush
can work with.He had avoided thus far any allusion to Oaxaca.
The nyc. indymedia is holding a memorial weekend and community dialogue
on the weekend of the 11th of November.
The focal point will be a memorial gathering at St Mark's Church NYc between 1-5pm.
There was a bike -ride in the city yesterday.

indymedia oaxaca is still up, there is no english translation but Barcelona and

Tonight there is a protest and solidarity gathering at the Mexican embassy in Ailesbury Road
at 6pm, called by the indychiapas and LASC (who put it on their eblast), both groups
are calling for Solidarity and banners for both the APPO and the victims of the Oaxacan
put-down.
The links and info are above on the thread and the event notice is on the newswire.
Members of indymedia and activists who attempted to get Brad Will to safety after the
shooting have published an eye -witness account of the incident and the aftermath on
http://nyc.indymedia.org/en/2006/11/78622.html
There was a small solidarity protest at the Mexican embassy attended by anti-war,
LASC, Indymedia chiapas and indy .ie editors and contributors. four gardai.
We asked permission to put up the (((i))) logo (banner) because the others who
died were Oaxacaan /APPO. There were candles and everyone sang a Mexican song.
There were some placards and banners and a few kids. The protest lasted an hour.
Thanks to the organisations who organised and solidarity with the Mexican and indymedia
community, both of whom have suffered in this terrible time.
btw: Brad Will was wearing an indymedia shirt when he was shot.
Go to:
http://www.friendsofbradwill.org
to sign a petition of support for people of Oaxaca. Tariq Ali, Danny Glover, Alice Walker, Naomi Klein and other 'luminaries' have signed. You don't have to be a 'luminary' to sign, but if you are don't let that stop you.
Reports on NYC and New Mexico say that the PFP have withdrawn from the university where
Radio Universidad is located .
Photos on NYC: http://nyc.indymedia.org/en/2006/11/78635.html
'The War is on' : http://newmexico.indymedia.org
The PFP attempted to siege the Benito Juarez University in Oaxaca. There was
a helicopter and many injuries, including kids or young adults.
The photos show the PFP taking a man prisoner- all the same nationality,
the cops are having a laugh: This then is the Vincente Fox/Ruiz methodology
put down your own people in favour of the almighty US $.
Neither Fox not Calderon has commented on the 700 mile fence which Bush
wants to build at the border of Mexico and the States. They focus on the put down
of the democracy movement.

Calderon (President elect-after claims of vote-rigging) believes that
the biggest problem facing the Mexican people is the democracy movement
fronted by the APPO- yeah right....
His buddy has signed the releases to build the Rabbit -Proof Fence, (mentioned above)
700 miles of it.
On the weekend of the Brad Will Commeroration (11/11/06), there will be a resistance
to Apartheid Walls campaign in NYC-
http://nyc.indymedia.org/en/2006/11/78913.html
Its organised by the adhoc coalition 4 justice in the middle East.
The 'Wall' is a double layered border wall, which will be military patrolled, its
a multi-billion dollar US project which 'will further separate communities
break apart families and increase death on the US/Mexican border'.
Brown-nosing the States and turning his back on Ruiz's corruption at one and
the same time.

The article including interviews with some of the women in Oaxaca is at

Some of the women are still prisoners, the links to testimonies are in indymedia
chiapas- including interviews with women who have been kidnapped and tortured.
Irish Media Station Newstalk 106- had a holiday company on , urging people to
travel to the post-colonial town of oaxaca [and spend your euros there], which is an
interesting perspective on the put-down of the APPO/95 deaths/98 disappearances,
multiple imprisonments. The hack who was selling 'mexico' said " a Little street
violence should not put people off from travelling'
