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.

"Anti-immigration attitudes are manufactured," says one Left-wing thinker. Demographic change is a "political myth", says another. When will the Left accept that public anger is well-founded, asks Laurie Wastell.

Jump To Comment: 1 2I am putting pen to paper here on seeing the slogan "where will I be safe"?????
The answer is no where according to the law as it stands.Women will not and cannot come forward and go all the way in the court process becuause once involved they discover the TRUTH and oouch how it hurts too....when you hear your ex whisper to your already broken spirit."see I told you you can never escape me because the law is always on MY side".How true it is.You finally say enough in your mind and off you go believing you will be safe now. Well the refuge centres are full so back you go and he laughs at you. You go to court and you will be told to be a good girl and go home and obey. Other agencies decide to allow the violent abuser access to the children and they are dragged by the neck screaming so that he can have his right seen to.Often the woman has to supervise the access herself in case the children are injured or murdered. But, in any case there is no escape.Violent men POLLUTE women and children with their vile violent energy which is carried like the plague from place to place.It is brought home to pollute the home after each access visit.Then the mother starts to be abused by her children and then this violence is carried in the system to the next generation.
So, now that all that is clear...every time you see the slogan violence full stop....you know the truth that it is all a con.Government is not interested in stopping violence against women and children, only in CONTROLLING them as they have done for 5,000 years. But the good news is that things are about to change and women will remember how once they were strong warrior women themselves and will empower themselves and their daughters and sons too...so that soon men and women will give and receive equally and not try to dominate each other.
Catherine.
For many moons now I was wondering why there was no real FEEL to ending Domestic violence and then this morning after 12 years of homelessness to discover the truth.
There I was thinking that when I went to womens aid that my problems would end.
Oh nooooo, that dear people is where they begin.Abused men or women makes no difference.The system feels that if you come forward then you are getting STRONG and Getting out of your box" You see ..you must know your place in this society of ours.
Violence destroys people and makes them violent too and depress ed and in the end they break down and stop fighting like good little children. You must obey and behave.
So, when the social worker says they care..you know it is a lie. For they are going to break you down more than your violent partner. Believe me they use the same psychological and emotional abuse as he/she did.No, no physical as that would leave a physical scar and the judge would not be amused.
You will of course be sent for assessments and get the same treatment over and over till you break, then they may say...you are unable to look after your children so they steal them and give them to foster parents who make lots of MONEY from them.Children are worth money. So if you try to protect your children and the judge always give access to the violent one ..dont ask why anymore...the answer is they want you and your children to be violated by violence to keep you from being FREE.
If you try to stop the violent partner having access to the children you will either go to prison to teach you YOUR PLACE.or the violent partner takes them home and gets custody.
Now what kind of society does that.??????OUR SOCIETY.
Why???? because when you come forward and say no more violence, you are saying you want peace. Peace does not make money for rich people.The system wants your children to be exposed to violence to DE-HUMANISE them like they do in training social workers.They have brought the British system here now to teach their methods . But Baby Ann has put a halt to their plans for now. So if you have a partner and are not married your child will do just fine. There was a time when young unmarried girls provided all the children they needed but now we women are keeping them and that is upsetting things a bit.
Another way is that you will get little money or none in my case and then social worker will say you are neglecting them and off they go too.
Or in my case as there was nothing wrong, except I wanted my children safe from guns I was made homeless by social services in order to conform and go home and obey. How many of you have been told by lawyers to drag those children by the hair if necessary for access or the judge will throw the book at you??? I thought so.
You see the lawyers are only interested in the money and boy is their money for old rope here.They call our cases bread and butter cases and drag them out. You will notice that they do not fight in court.No they make deals outside so rarely does the judge hear the case at all.The social worker will perjure him/herself without as much as a blink. And if like me you prove their perjury....their lawyer is on hand to save their bacon too.
The social worker will remind you "THEY HAVE THE POWER"
So dear readers this is just a way of making sure the money keeps rolling in for the old boys.
But there was once a warrior group of men and women 5,000 years ago.These people fought for what was right and just and equal.
Ignore the HYPE of pitting women against men. that is called divide and conquer.
No ,this is violence V peace and we must each decide what we wish the children that WE created to experience.!!!!!!!!!!
