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: 7 6 5 4 3 2 1yes...I can see it now, the far right leaning officers of the PSNI dreaming up new ways to harass those damn foreigners, after having emigrated in order to be able to do this...please. Alot of smaller shops don't have the technology to check notes, those smaller shops that do don't use it for every transaction. The technology most often used, ultraviolet, is not 100% as notes washed in your trouser pocket come up as fake. And where is this statistic to be found about the proximity of criminals' addresses to the scene of the crime Yvonne/Clodagh?
I have heard many a bad argument in my time on Earth but calling this racism is about the worst. You residents against racing types or whatever ur names are need to get out more. Report on real issues, this drivel will mean people switch off when they hear the word racism.
Enough Said!
Most Shops have the technology to detect fake/counterfeit notes, yet they choose not to use them and discriminate against foreign looking people. Who is a an eastern european looking type anyway?.
Most crime is perpetrated by local criminals.
Recently 3 generations of an english family in the UK were prosecuted for the biggest counterfeit racket ever which threatened the banking system.
Northern Ireland has always been the dumping ground for unpalatable right wing public figures eg Lord mountbatten, enoch powell etc, and recently it has seen a large influx of english police joining the PSNI, bringing with them their weird prejudices and backwardness, moving to Northern Ireland to escape the mulitculturalism of mainland UK.
The Gardai also discriminate against Irish people. I've suffered the indignity of having shop keepers check my notes as they've been warned that Irish people are using fake notes.
Christ, what a pile of tosh this story is.
Are the Gardai alos guilty of racism when they warn parents in north DUblin about the black man who has attempted to abduct school girls? Surely both the Guards and the PSNI are only supplying accurate information?
what a sad excuse for a journalistic piece this is. The PSNI are just doing their jobs by warning of counterfeit currency being passed. This is what they are paid for.
If a black/white/japanese/eastern european person is alleged to have committed an offense and the police issue a description of the person including their ethnicity in this description, this does not entail racism.
And what is this supposed to mean "enabling racist attitudes to foreign looking people who may just be mixed race". What difference does it make whether somebody is mixed ethnicity or pure ethnicity or foreign? Get a grip on yourself.
Or alterntively they might have had a number of shady eastern european gang members pass off fake notes in that area and due to becoming aware of that fact actually DIDTHEIR JOBS and warn local businesses and tradesman to watch out for the fake notes. At no point did the PSNI say 'don't serve anyone looking or sounding foreign', they just provided relevant intel to try and combat criminal activity.
If you have evidence of an officer being overtly racist, report it. Don't twist genuine crime prevention strategies to support your already deluded personal ideology.
